Actuate is a business intelligence tool coded in the Java programming language. Actuate provides remote users access to their business data from their iPad or mobile phone. Java programs can handle errors in a couple different ways. However, Java programs typically report the error to the user with as much detail as possible.
Java Try/Catch LoopWithin a Java function, there will be one or more statements that perform some action and code to handle any errors associated with that action. The action being performed should be coded within the "try" part of the code. The steps taken if there is an error are coded in the "catch" part of the code.Java Thrown ExceptionsFunctions within Java can be defined to "throw" an error if anything goes wrong within the function. This gives programmers the ability to name their own exceptions for specific errors. For example, a function that opens a .dox report in Actuate would throw an error that displays the Java exception to the user.Error Message MeaningsThe "Basic Error 104" also displays the module name within the code where the error occurs and the Java exception. The module is "BasicODBCConnection%Decrypt%String". The message also provides the line number, 12, so you know exactly where to look in the code. In this case, the Java file can not decrypt the password being passed to the database to run the desired report. iPhone to Mac Transfer
