Hi experts,
Is there anybody who is familiar with error handling with exceptionlist?
I read the product documentation below, but this is noted that we can't use text elements in the exceptionlist for exception handling decision making.
(http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v6r0m0/topic/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ac00540_.htm?resultof=%22%65%78%63%65%70%74%69%6f%6e%6c%69%73%74%22%20)

Notes:
1. Do not use the File, Line, Function, and Text elements for exception handling decision making. These elements ensure that information can be written to a log for use by IBM service personnel. |
How can I understand this?
Does this mean that we can't rely on text elements in the exceptionlist?
If so, what is exceptionlist??? 
Thanks in advance,

hello
I'm searching the same topic these days, so I see that you may use the exception type name in the tree:
* RecoverableException
* ParserException
* ConversionException
* UserException
* DatabaseException
for exception handling and decision making and use the text just for reporting or logging, I will update you with my trials soon
I hope this helps
best wishes

Thank you very much for your information, ghada.
I'm also curious about the difference between syslog outputs and informaion in the exception trees.
Are they equal?
In other words, do you think that users can trouble shoot only with the information included in exception trees?
Of course, there are various cases but I'm especially assuming the case of RecoverbleException.
Any ideas?
Cheers, |

hello JYama
well I think the Information in the Exception list is not always enough especially when it comes to RecoverableExcption, I'm trying to use the tree in handling many kinds of exceptions but I'm still in the trials state, I will always update you.
As for info in the exception list and logs I think they are almost the same.
best wishes

Well, it is a good redbook, dkeister.
I think the exception list should be providing great information but how can I understand the note in the WMB Infocenter?
Of course, I don't need many stuff in the exceptionList such as File, Line, and function but Text element may be usefull info. for exception handling decision making. How can I understand this note?

I can't answer that question. I use the information from the Recoverable Error section.

That note just means that you shouldn't make decisions based on what's in those fields.

Could you elaborate on that, please?
How do you think about the criteria of trouble-shooting?
Actually I was assuming that we would be able to make decesions based on exceptionlist.

You can make decisions based on the ExceptionList.
Just not those fields.
Haven't we had this conversation before?
