Different between 'Throw', 'Rethrow' and 'Log message'

[Faraz_Subhani (Faraz)]

Hi,
I know I might be creating a duplicate thread, apologies for that but I tried to go through all the posts related to ‘Throw’ and ‘Rethrow’ but I am still not clear on these two.

1. I am using REF, so If I use Throw activity with a customized message will it pop up as a message box or simply stop the process or go to next transaction depending whether it is system or business exception?

2. I used throw in with a customized message but was unable to find that message in the Logs .

3. Will there be any difference if I use Throw inside Catch block in REF?

4. What exactly will Rethrow do and when to use it? Answers say that it i will process the activities first then throw the exception, what does this exactly mean?/

5. I used Log message while beginning and ending of every workflow but I am unable to see the messages in the Log file - it is unattended BOT without orchestrator.

6. In REF, is it ideal to use any other Try Catch block apart from the ones in the Framework?I simply wanted to use Throw and was expecting that REF will behave accordingly depending on whether I am throwing a system or Business Exception.

Any suggestion would be very helpful.

Thanks.

How to use Throw and ReThrow

Can anybody please explain when and how to use Throw and Rethrow activities? What I need to do is catch an exception with a try-catch - BUT - I need to report the actual exception and then pass control up to a higher level - essentially: catch an exception - log what happened and abort the current process and restart at the top. Can Throw and Rethrow do this - how? what is the difference between the two? Update - OK - Rethrow is clear enough it just reproduces the original exception But how …

cheers
