Why Error Handling Needs to Be Part of Data Integration
Duplicate data and data errors are common, and having clean data is critical to any integration project. Read the article to learn how organizations are managing their error handling and data integration challenges as data volume proliferates.
Importance of Error Handling in Data Integration
Error handling is essential for successful data integration because it helps identify and resolve data discrepancies, ensuring that businesses can make confident and timely decisions based on accurate information. Without effective error handling, organizations risk working with flawed data, which can lead to poor insights and operational inefficiencies.
Common Data Integration Errors
Common errors in data integration include data errors (where data does not match the defined schema), process errors (failures during data flow), authentication errors (invalid credentials), business validation errors (violations of business rules), system threshold errors (exceeding API call limits), and system availability errors (link or system failures).
Benefits of Hybrid Integration Platforms
Hybrid Integration Platforms (HIP) enhance error management by providing greater transparency and a structured approach to handling errors. They offer real-time alerts about data flow and system failures, along with graphical representations of necessary actions to resolve issues. This simplifies the process for non-technical users, reduces troubleshooting time, and promotes collaborative error resolution.
