Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Batch Function       *
  *                  within IBM WebSphere Application Server     *
  *                  V8.0 and V8.5.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Batch skip record processing            *
  *                      applications using JPAWriter are        *
  *                      ignoring defined Exceptions             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  User defined Exceptions for batch skip record processing are
  being ignored by JPAWriter pattern.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JPAWriter functionality in the batch skip record
  processing pattern was catching the original exception and
  rethrowing the exception as a different exception type.  A
  modification was made to ensure the original exception was
  thrown, thus matching up with those defined by the user for
  skip record processing.
