What is the Significance of ID in Exception?

[ashwin.ashok ((TheCodingTheory))]

When it comes to exceptions, we rarely explore anything beyond the “type” of exception that is thrown.
If you call the Data method in exceptions, it provides us with some interesting properties that are quite helpful like so:

While I understand what the other properties are, I’m not quite sure what the ActivityId refers to here.

Is this an ID that tells us which activity threw the error, or does it refer to something else?
If the ID is unique to a given activity, then how do we use it to search for that particular activity?

Help would be most appreciated, thanks in advance!

Find Specific location of an activity/command in your code based on Activity ID or errorinfo.activityinfo

I would like to be able to look up the specific location of an activity/command in your code based on Activity ID or errorinfo.activityinfo.

Right now i have exceptionActivityInfo being logged in the global handler; so when an error hits, the very first activity info should be where the error occured at (it will then continue t…
