Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current Pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Troubleshooting

Error	Reason	Resolution

Error	Reason	Resolution
Object ID does not exist	The object with the specified ID does not exist in the Teamcenter database.	Double-check the ID you are using to ensure it matches an existing object.
Incorrect ID Format	The entered format of the object ID is incorrect.	Teamcenter object IDs often have a specific format, including a prefix that identifies the object type and a unique identifier. Make sure you are using the correct format for object IDs.
