Failure strategygroovyx-failure-strategyrollback
  • rollback
  • transfer to failure
What to do with unhandled exceptions. If you want to manage exception by code then keep the default value `rollback`. If `transfer to failure` selected and unhandled exception occurred then all flowFiles received from incoming queues in this session will be transferred to `failure` relationship with additional attributes set: ERROR_MESSAGE and ERROR_STACKTRACE. If `rollback` selected and unhandled exception occurred then all flowFiles received from incoming queues will be penalized and returned. If the processor has no incoming connections then this parameter has no effect.
