Error Workflow Process

The biggest difference between time and space is that time can't be resued. So better reuse the existing one in order to earn some time. Reusability is one the fundamental block of siebel. Be it configuration or scripting, siebel always advocate usage of existing ones. One to enrich this feature is "Error Process Name" property at the workflow level.

This property is used to specify the workflow process which should be executed whenever error occurs in the base workflow. One can create a generic workflow for error logging mechanism and can specify that workflow in the "Error Process Name" property. This workflow can act as universal exception handler for logging error across the multiple workflows.


One of the interesting features here is the passing process properties from the base workflow to the error workflow. It should be kept in mind in order to pass user defined process properties to the error workflow, we must redefine those process properties in the error workflow, giving the same name and type.
For eg, if one has to pass the name of the base workflow to error workflow, one has to define common process property in the original workflow and in the error workflow and then this user property in the base workflow should be populated with the name of base workflow.

so don't reinvent the wheel, just realign it....

Happy Configuration!!!
