Catch different type of exception in catchStep

, , ,

I use the Integration tool (Version 4.6) generated following catchStep in my script. Unfortunately, severally exceptions that I experienced are not type of AdapterException, and the code in the catch branch does not got processed.

    try { 
        publishAndWaitStep();  
        catchStepTry(); 
    } 
    catch (AdapterException catchStepEx) { 
        myErrorRotine(); 
        catchStepCatch(); 
    }

I know if I change the exception type in the try statement to catch class of “Exception”, the program will do what I want. However, the Integration tool doesn’t like the “Exception” type in the try statement, and gives me a compilation error.

    try { 
        publishAndWaitStep();  
        catchStepTry(); 
    } 
    catch (Exception catchStepEx) { 
         myErrorRotine(); 
        catchStepCatch(); 
    }

I know I can write a customStep to implement above code. However, the downside of writing customStep, is the input and output variables are not visible in the entire script, and make the maintenance a nightmare. Is there anyone knows how to fix or work around this problem?
