Creating an exception task

To create an exception task, you use a data profiling task that contains a rule specification that can identify exception data. Create the exception task in Data Profiling or Data Quality.
    1From the Explore page, open a profiling task.
    Note: Ensure that the profiling task contains a rule specification that can identify exceptions.
    2Select the Create Exception Task option from the Menu.
    The New Exception Task dialog box appears and shows the Add Details tab. The image depicts the options in the Add Details tab of the New Exception Task dialog box.
    3On the Add Details tab, configure the following fields:
    Field
    Description
    Name
    The name of the exception task.
    Description
    A description of the exception task.
    Location
    The location where you want to save the exception task.
    Exception Data Storage
    Determines whether the exception task writes the results of the task job to your local system or to Informatica's cloud storage.

    4Click Next.
    The image depicts the Select Rules option in the New Exception Task dialog box.
    5On the Select Rules tab, select one or more rule specifications from the profiling task. Select at least one rule specification that can identify exceptions.
