Automated Workflow's tri-level error handling system allows you to set error handling properties for the whole system, for individual Workflows, and for individual steps within Workflows. The Workflow-level error handling properties determine how Automated Workflow will respond when a particular Workflow fails. Workflow level error handling is set within the Workflow properties dialog box.
To set Workflow error handling properties
In the dialog box of a specific action, click the Errors tab, and enter your selections as follows:
E-mail: Select this to have Automated Workflow send the error data in an e-mail message. Click E-mail settings and enter the To and From e-mail addresses. If you do not want the Workflow file attached to the e-mail, clear the Attach Workflow file check box. The default mail server configured in System Options is used to send the message.
Log File: Select this to have the error data sent to a Workflow-specific log file. This log file is separate and in addition to the Automated Workflow system Log file. Click Log Settings and enter your preferences as follows:
Location:
Click Open Folder ,
browse to the location for the log file, and enter a file name.
Increment filename or Add date time to filename:
Use Increment filename to create a new log for each new Workflow error by adding a numerical stamp to the file name. Numbering begins at 0001.
Use Add date time to filename to create a new log for each date that an error occurs by adding the date to the file name. The default format is mm-dd-yyyy. You can change the format or add time by typing in an alternate format. If only date is used, multiple errors on the same date will be appended to the same log file. If date and time are used, a new log file will be created for each Workflow error occurrence
If neither Increment filename nor Add date time to filename is selected, a single error log is created and new error data is appended to the log on each error occurrence.
Run a Workflow: An error handling Workflow can be configured to run if an error occurs in the Workflow. If you have created such a Workflow, select this option, click Run Workflow Settings, and enter or select the Workflow in the Workflow to run box.
Windows Event Log: Select this to have an entry created in the Windows Event Log if an error occurs in the Workflow.
