ION Database Connection / File connection Failure

How can I identify a Database connection failure or a File connection failure in a data flow? For example, I have scheduled a database connector to retrieve some data from DB. If the DB server password is changed, then the data flow also won't be triggered. How can I get the notification regarding the DB connection error?

Error with connection points will be available in OneView or Error BODs. To check manually you can login and see.

To get alert for Error BODs, Add your email in Error Reporting section.

ION Desk>Configuration>Error Reporting.

Hi Sethu,

The data flow is still active and it is not triggering any error BODs. The database connector is the triggering point of the data flow based on a schedule. So the data flow is not started at all.

Thank you

In that case, the first node is not getting the right input to proceed to next steps. Given below the checks I would in case my Data flow do not process, in case input is 'File'.

1. In File connection point, I will setup Archive, Error directories.

2. Once the file is placed in Folder, will wait for ION to process.

3. Check Archive folder for the file after process is complete. This will give me a picture file format is correct.

4. Check Error folder for file. If I see file in Error folder, then there is some error in file.

Eg: Number for fields not matching, field differentiator not present etc.,

5. In case of error, I will check the File format of Input file and Metadata definition in File Template. Make any corrections and submit file for processing.
