What do you use in an integration flow to handle unexpected errors?

Handling unexpected errors in SAP Cloud Integration ensures robust iFlows. Let’s identify the mechanism:

Step 1: Error Handling- Unexpected errors (e.g., mapping failures, adapter issues) need a structured approach beyond manual checks.

Step 2: Evaluate Options-

A. Exception handler integration flow elements: No such specific elements exist; too vague.

B. Status code checks: Manual, code-based (e.g., in scripts), not a built-in feature for unexpected errors.

C. Exception-handling subprocesses: A dedicated subprocess triggered by an Error Start Event, designed for errors.

D. Try-catch subprocesses: Try-catch is a programming construct (e.g., in Groovy), not an iFlow feature.

Step 3: Subprocess Use- In the iFlow editor, an "Exception Subprocess" with an "Error Start Event" catches runtime exceptions, allowing logging or rerouting.

Step 4: Official Verification- The SAP Help Portal’s "Defining Exception Subprocess" states that it’s the standard method for handling unexpected errors in iFlows.

Conclusion: Option C is 100% verified per SAP documentation.References:
