Warning Handling

You can set up this Accelerator in many different ways. Almost every feature is configurable either by specifying where to look for necessary data or by telling the package how to handle this data. Because so many things can be adjusted, there is a lot of things that can go wrong as well. Missing configurations, missing data or conflicting business configurations are only a few examples.

To handle this we introduced a warning/error handling mechanism further described at Error Handling Deep Dive.

In this section:

Warning Placement

Warnings can be displayed at the following places:

  • Default warning column

  • Field where the issue happened (hidden if the element is internal)

  • ResultMatrix at the end of the calculation

There are also some issues which prevent WarningManager from being initialized. Calculation will fail and an exception will be thrown in this case.

Warning Configuration

Every warning code signalizes that something could not be executed properly; it is not always a business issue. There are cases like "EXCEPTION_IGNORED" which just inform the user that a table override was ignored due to a manual override. It is possible to configure the visibility of each warning.

For every error, the following behavior can be configured:

  • Raising any type of alert (only when the element is visible).

  • Adding a default warning.

  • Adding to a matrix element at the end of the calculation.

For details on setup see WarningConfig PP.

The recommended approach on initial package deployment is to keep the default error setup until the package was fully configured and tested. Then all warnings related to unused features can be turned off by disabling alerts and hiding them from the default warnings popup. They can be also hidden from the custom Matrix popup, but we don’t recommend it since it may make debugging future problems much harder.

The table below represents a full list of expected errors and their default configuration that can be found in WarningConfig PP after package deployment:
