CATCH Properties
The CATCH step has the properties described in the following table.
Property
Description
Comments
An optional descriptive comment for this step.
Scope
The name of a document (IData object) in the pipeline to which you want to restrict this step. If you want this step to have access to the entire pipeline, leave this property blank.
Timeout
Optional. Specifies the maximum number of seconds that this step should run. If this time elapses before the step completes, Integration Server issues a FlowTimeoutException and execution continues with the next step in the service.
If you want to use the value of a pipeline variable for this property, type the variable name between % symbols. For example, %expiration%. The variable you specify must be a String.
If you do not need to specify a time-out period, leave Timeout blank.
For more information about how Integration Server handles flow step timeouts, refer to the description of the watt.server.threadKill.timeout.enabled configuration parameter in webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
Label
An optional name for this specific step, or a null, unmatched, or empty string ($null, $default, blank).
Important:
If you use this step as a target for an EXIT step that exits from a specific label, you must specify a value in the Label property. CATCH steps may only be targets of an EXIT step that signals success. For more information about the EXIT step, see The EXIT Step.
Exit on
This property is always set to FAILURE for a CATCH step.
Failures
Specifies the list of failures that the CATCH step either specifically handles or does not handle. When Selection is set to INCLUDE, the Failures property lists the failures the CATCH step handles. When Selection is set to EXCLUDE, the Failures property lists the failures the CATCH step does not handle.
Leave the Failures property empty if you want the CATCH step to catch the last failure thrown regardless of what it is.
Selection
Specifies whether the CATCH step handles failure included in the Failures list or only failures that are not in the Failures list.
Specify
To
INCLUDE
Catch any of the failures specified in the Failures property.
EXCLUDE
Catch any failures except those specified in the Failures property.
