You can control which exception sets are displayed in the Data Quality Exception Console.
About this task
By default, all exception sets generated by IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server products
and components are displayed in the Data Quality Exception Console.
However, you might have test jobs, sample jobs, or low priority jobs
that are generating exceptions that you do not want to be included
with the data that you are monitoring and analyzing in the Data Quality Exception Console.
You customize which exception sets are sent to the Data Quality Exception Console by
creating new subscriptions and filtering the exception sets by certain
properties.
Procedure
- Open the Subscription Manager, and on the Subscriptions tab,
delete the subscription to the Data Quality Exception Console that
is created by default.
Note: To work with the subscription
for NEW_EXCEPTIONS_EVENT, you must have the InfoSphere Information Server Suite
Administrator role.
You can identify this subscription
by selecting it and confirming that it has the following properties:Table 1. Properties of the default subscription
that enables all exceptions for exception management| Subscription properties |
Values |
|---|
| Name |
NEW_EXCEPTIONS_EVENT/<Unique_ID>,
where <Unique_ID> is a unique identifier that
is generated by the exception provider. |
| Event type |
NEW_EXCEPTIONS_EVENT |
| Creation date |
<SubMgrAndDataQuality_patch_run_date> |
| Application |
Data Quality Exception Console |
| Event filters |
None |
- To specify which exception sets are sent to the Data Quality Exception Console,
create new subscriptions with event filters.
- Specify these values for the subscription
Table 2. Properties of a NEW_EXCEPTIONS_EVENT subscription| Property |
Value |
|---|
| Name |
A friendly name for your subscription. For example, IA_rule_AgeCheckCustomer |
| Event Type |
NEW_EXCEPTIONS_EVENT |
| Notification Type |
Application |
| Application |
Data Quality Exception Console |
- Specify values for the event filters for each subscription
to limit which exception sets are sent to Data Quality Exception Console.
You can limit by application or project, or for Information Analyzer
by data rule. You can use these event filters:
Table 3. Event
filters to limit exception sets| Event filters |
Valid values |
|---|
| applicationType |
Information Analyzer Exception Stage
|
| projectName |
IA_project_name
DS_project_name,
for example, IOD_Bank_Demo. |
| exceptionSummaryName |
- If you specify Information Analyzer for applicationType,
specify the name of a data rule in the specified project.
- If you specify Exception Stage for applicationType,
specify the name of an exception descriptor in an Exceptions stage
in the specified project.
Note: You receive notifications for events
of the selected type that occur in any stage in any job in the specified
project where the stage contains an exception descriptor of the specified
name. To limit notifications to events from a single stage, define
a unique name for the exception descriptor in that stage.
Note: Your subscription includes events of the selected type
that occur in any stage in any job in the specified project where
the stage contains an exception descriptor of the specified name.
To limit the subscription to events from a single stage, define a
unique name for the exception descriptor in that stage.
|
- Optional: To restore the default configuration so that
all exception sets that are generated by IBM InfoSphere Information Server products
and components are sent to the Data Quality Exception Console,
delete all subscriptions for the event type NEW_EXCEPTIONS_EVENT and
then add a new subscription, specifying the properties in Table 1. Do not specify filter
properties for this subscription.
Example
A data steward manager wants to send only the following
exception sets to the
Data Quality Exception Console for
tracking and monitoring:
- All exception sets that are generated by InfoSphere DataStage® jobs
- Exception sets that are generated by a specific InfoSphere Information Analyzer rule, IA_rule_AgeCheckCustomer
On the Subscriptions tab of the
Subscription Manager,
the administrator deletes the subscription to the
Data Quality Exception Console that
is created by default.
Next, the administrator clicks Add,
and then specifies details in the Add New Subscription window.
The administrator selects NEW _EXCEPTIONS_EVENT as
the event type and selects Application as the form
of notification. The administrator selects the application Data
Quality Exception Console, which sends notifications to the Data Quality Exception Console.
The administrator filters the events by using the applicationType property
to specify Exception Stage. All exceptions that
are generated jobs are sent to the Data Quality Exception Console and
Next,
the administrator creates another subscription with the same properties,
and filters the events by using the exceptionSummaryName property
to specify that the subscription is for only those exceptions from
the data rule IA_rule_AgeCheckCustomer. With this
configuration, exception sets that are generated by other InfoSphere Information Analyzer data
rules are ignored and not sent to the Data Quality Exception Console.
