Hi Björn

Unfortunately it is at the moment not possible to access the exception object itself. Only the exception message is available.

It is also not possible to get a log entry object for the exception because on the server the log is written to a file an not kept in memory as it is on the designer runtime log.

We know that this is a shortcoming of Xpert.ivy. We plan to improve exception handling in one of the upcoming releases.

Regards

Reto

Dear Reto

Thanks for your answer. It works, but I only get the message without details. I would like to get the whole exception object from the runtime log to be flexible enough. But I don't know, how to get this logEntry. There are so many entries, when I search for 'log' in the Data Type Browser - which class to choose (ch.ivyteam.log!? org.apache.log4j!?) and how to use?

Kind regards Björn

In the inscription maks of the process element exception start a variable called exception is available that contains the error message. You can assign the variable to a field in your process data as follows:

out.errorMessage = exception;
