Hi all,

Need some advice. If I want to use Try and Catch, for execute a class, running a batch job class in code. how are we use the try and catch looks like ?

I mean what would be the Catch ? is the batch job succeeded or fail can be captured and determine that result (Fail or succeed) in the "Catch"? what would be the Exception should we use? and what if, when it is succeeded, if lets say this batch job class is call within a While.. select loop, and when succeeded, I want to update one field in the table that used by the While...select. is it still inside the Try ? or in Catch section ?

Thanks,

I have the same question (0)

Hi WWwong,

What are the criteria for the "batch job succeeded"? If you use exception handling, you can process errors during job execution and exit execution as succeeded.

For your particular case with "while select" you would need to update the record at the end of "try" section and you can use generic catch without exception type.

Also, keep in mind nuances about try-catch statements inside transactions docs.microsoft.com/.../xpp-exceptions

while select forupdate myTable { try { ttsBegin; //Do some stuff myTable.MyField = "Success"; myTable.update(); ttscommit; } catch { error("Oops"); } }

Hi Sergei,

Noted, so if inside the try {...} I'm calling/run a batch job class, it is inside ttsbegin or outside ?

Like you example :

while select forupdate myTable

{

try

{

ttsBegin;

//Do some stuff

myTable.MyField = "Success";

myTable.update();

ttscommit;

}

catch

{

error("Oops");

}

}

if lets say, there is a code like :

MyClass cls = new MyClass();

cls.run();

this 2 line of code, is before ttsbegin, or inside ttsbegin and ttscommit ?

and do we need to put ttsabort in that catch ?

Thanks,

Please check this doc: docs.microsoft.com/.../exception-handling-with-try-and-catch-keywords

Running something in batch doesn't make exception handling any different.

You put the ttsebgin and ttscommit where you want to, so I don't understand your last question in your previous message. The batch framework itself doesn't add any transaction scope around your class.

Hi WWwong,

I would say that in most cases you need to put the processing part and final update in one transaction to keep data integrity. In case if an update of MyField for some reason fails MyClass logic will be reverted as well in this case.

You don't need to use ttsAbort in catch section. If an error is thrown inside transaction ttsAbort executed automatically.
