Running an exception task

After you create an exception task, you can run the exception task manually or on a schedule. Use Data Quality or Data Profiling to run the task that you create. At run time, the exception task applies the rule specifications that you selected to the data set and writes the exception records to the storage destination you selected.
    1From the Explore page, open the exception task that you created. The image depicts the Definition options in an exception task.
    2On the Definition tab, verify the task details and the asset references.
    The asset references identify the profiling task from which you created the exception task. The profiling task identifies the data set that the exception task reads. The asset references also identify the rule specifications that run on the data set.
    3Click Next. The image depicts the Save and Run options for an exception task.
    4On the Schedule tab, optionally define a schedule for the exception job. Select one of the following options:
    Option
    Description
    Do not run this task on a schedule
    Specifies that you'll run the task manually. This option is selected by default.
    Run this task on a schedule
    Specifies that the task will run on a schedule that you choose.
    You can create, view, edit, and delete schedules in Administrator.
    To delete a schedule for an exception task, you must first dissociate or delete the assets linked to the schedule.
    5Configure the email notification options to notify users about the outcome of a job that runs an exception task. Select one of the following options:
    Option
    Description
    Use the default email notification options for my organization
    Sends the notifications to the default email addresses that your organization specifies for each type of job outcome. This option is selected by default.
    The Organization tab in Administrator lists the email recipients for each outcome.
    Use custom email notification options for this task
    Send the notifications to one or more email addresses that you specify based on the job outcome. You can enter one or more email addresses for each type of outcome.
    Use a comma to separate multiple email addresses for a given type of outcome.
    6Click Save and then click Run.
The exception task writes the exception records that it identifies to the exception data store or to a comma-separated file in a directory that the Secure Agent specifies in your local system. The records include the exception indicators that the rule specifications in the exception task specified. You can download the records from the My Jobs page when the task completes.
Note: You can view the data connection host machine and the directory path to the comma-separated file on the Connections tab in Administrator.
