40 Questions
What is the primary consequence of not setting unique field names for fault information in a Parallel Path step?
The fault information from one path will overwrite the fault information of another path.
What option is recommended if there is an uncaught fault in a process?
Suspend the process and debug it using the Application Integration Console.
What is the limitation when using a Jump step to retry a step after a fault?
You cannot use a Jump step from the fault path, you must merge back to the main process path first.
What is the purpose of using a Throw step in a process, as opposed to using an output field to pass fault information?
To enable fault handling on the Throw step, including specifying a fault name field to get all the fault details.
What is the purpose of enabling fault handling on a Create Service Subprocess step?
It catches all faults on the individual step and creates a separate execution path in the process.
Which of the following can trigger a fault in a process?
All of the above
What is the purpose of using XQuery to access the fault detail in the faultInfo process object?
Because the fault detail is returned as an 'any' type value, you need to use XQuery to access the specific structure of the fault information.
What is the primary purpose of the 'Suspend on Uncaught Fault' setting in the Advanced process properties?
To rethrow the fault after catching it, so the process can be suspended and debugged in the Application Integration Console.
What is the recommended approach if you want to log a fault and continue the process gracefully?
Log the fault (e.g. by sending an email notification) and continue the process without any further action.
What is the primary purpose of using a Wait step and a Jump step to handle a fault?
To wait for some interval and then retry the step that encountered the fault.
What is the primary purpose of a boundary event in a business process?
To catch errors that occur within the scope of a specific step
Which statement is true regarding fault handling in a business process?
When a fault is caught, the step is interrupted, and the process follows the defined fault path
What is a recommended approach when a boundary event needs to handle faults for a set of steps?
Wrap the set of steps in a subprocess and add the fault handler to the subprocess
Which of the following is a common use case for a fault handler in a business process?
All of the above are common use cases for fault handlers
What type of boundary event is a fault handler?
Interrupting boundary event
In the context of fault handling, what is an example of a scenario where a fault might occur?
All of the above are examples of scenarios where a fault might occur
What is a potential consequence of not implementing fault handling in a business process?
All of the above are potential consequences of not implementing fault handling
Which statement is true regarding the implementation of fault handlers?
Fault handlers should be implemented based on the potential impact of faults on the process
What is a recommended practice when defining fault handlers in a business process?
Define specific fault handlers for each step based on the potential errors
Which statement is true regarding the relationship between fault handling and error handling in a business process?
Error handling is a broader concept that encompasses fault handling
Parallel Path steps in a business process always require unique field names for fault information.
True
You can use a Jump step from the fault path to retry a step after a fault.
False
The faultInfo process object always contains a detailed description of the error that caused the fault.
True
Enabling fault handling on a Create Service Subprocess step will catch all faults on the individual step and create a separate execution path in the process.
True
The 'Suspend on Uncaught Fault' setting in the Advanced process properties is used to log the fault and continue the process gracefully.
False
You can use XQuery to access the fault detail in the faultInfo process object, regardless of the structure of the fault information returned from the service.
False
A Throw step can be used to configure a specific fault type, reason, and description, which can then be caught by a pattern or process.
True
A Wait step and a Jump step can be used to retry a step after a fault, without any limitations.
False
Faults can only be triggered by service steps or Create steps in a business process.
False
If a fault is not handled in a business process, the process will automatically suspend and be visible in the Application Integration Console.
True
A fault handler on a step acts as a non-interrupting boundary event.
False
Enabling fault handling for a step in a process always involves sending an email notification to inform about the fault.
False
When a fault is caught on a step, the process immediately terminates without any further actions.
False
If a boundary event occurs on a set of steps, it is recommended to define the steps individually in separate processes.
False
Fault handling in a business process can only be implemented by adding fault handlers at each individual step.
False
A fault handler is always triggered by an error code returned from an external service.
False
Enabling fault handling on a Create Service Subprocess step allows for automatic correction of faults without any manual intervention.
False
Implementing fault handling in a business process is only necessary if faults are expected to occur frequently.
False
If a Jump step is used to retry a step after a fault, there are no limitations to how many times it can retry.
False
A boundary event that is triggered by an error happening within the scope of a specific step is called an interrupting boundary event.
True
Study Notes
IDMC Application Integration Process
Informatica's Application Integration (IDMC) enables seamless connectivity between various cloud services and systems. It provides real-time orchestration capabilities for heterogeneous environments. In this section, we delve into the key processes involved in implementing IDMC application integration.
Key Components of IDMC Application Integration
-
Deployment of Informatica Solutions: The first step involves deploying Informatica solutions within your infrastructure. This may require setting up resources like PowerCenter or Intelligent Services.
-
Configuration of EDC for Scanning the Glue Catalog: To scan the AWS Glue catalog, you need to create an EDC resource type and enter appropriate credentials for authentication. Additional settings can be configured through the resource configuration wizards. Once done, save and run the resource to scan and ingest information from the Glue catalog into EDC. This process consumes metadata from the Glue catalog and creates associated objects within EDC.
Configuring Axon Data Governance/EDC Integration and Creating Rules
To automate onboarding of desired metadata from Axon Data Governance into EDC, we configure Axon's integration with EDC and create rules that control which metadata gets brought under governance.
Publishing Onboarded Metadata into Axon Data Marketplace
Once approved, the onboarded metadata from Axon Data Governance and EDC are published for critical datasets into Axon Data Marketplace. These curated data collections are made available for consumption across the enterprise.
Configuring Axon Data Marketplace for Custom Fields
If any custom fields are required by your provisioning process (such as consumer account numbers or user information), you need to configure Axon Data Marketplace accordingly.
IDMC Application Integration Process
The IDMC application integration process involves invoking the necessary APIs of both Axon and EDC. This is done to retrieve approved orders from Axon Data Marketplace, gather additional metadata, and write specific JSON files into a known Amazon S3 bucket in AWS processing.
User Experience with Informatica Data Marketplace
Axon Data Marketplace provides users with an intuitive shopping experience where they can browse through curated data collections that have been published. Users sign in to access these collections, navigate to the EDP Data Lake category to view available datasets, and select specific data collections for further inspection.
In summary, implementing IDMC application integration involves deploying solutions, configuring scanning processes, setting up rules, publishing metadata, configuring marketplaces, integrating applications, and ensuring a seamless user experience. These steps facilitate efficient data sharing and management within heterogeneous cloud environments.
