how do we check in the end process if the process ended without exception ? cause I wanted to send an email after the process ended , in the sample below I passed system exception argument toclose all app and added a condition exception is Nothing but the problem is that it still send an email although the end process was called by an exception. Any idea ? thatnks.
Points to remember:
- The system exception variable gets reset for every failed transaction(Because the robot moves to initialization state when a system exception is encountered. Observe that there is a system exception transition between process transaction and initialization state. In the initialization state, the first activity sets system exception to nothing. ).
- The system exception value is retained only when there’s an exception in the initialization state(Observe that there’s a system exception transition between intialization and end process states).
Assuming that you didn’t modify these transitions, your logic will work only when there’s a system exception encountered in initialization state.
Please check the above steps in your Main workflow. If these are exactly mapped as I said, then you can follow the below suggestion:
- Create an Int32 variable(say SystemExceptionCounter) with the highest scope(i.e., General Business Process) and give the default value as 0.
- Now in the “System Exception” sequence of the “Set transaction status” workflow, increment this variable(SystemExceptionCounter) value by 1. Remember that you should pass this variable(SystemExceptionCounter) as in/out argument to “Set transaction status” workflow. Or else, you can increment SystemExceptionCounter in the catch block of process transaction state.
Similarly you can increment SystemExceptionCounter , in case any exception occurs in Initialization and get transaction data states too(if you wish). - Now you can check in the end process state. If this variable(SystemExceptionCounter) = 0, then you can send email.
I hope this helps you. By the way, thanks for asking this question. Even I never thought of retaining the system exception value, until I see your question.
