How to programmatically catch the activeSync errors in identity manager 8.1

Question

Sun Identity Manager 8.1
May I know how can I catch the errors thrown by activeSync during create/update/delete process and even errors before the activeSync process reaches to create/update/delete workflows (like errors when the user account is locked, it does not reach the update workflow) pro-grammatically and throw to notification process such as email.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Regards

I do this in 7.1 by using a workflow for my active sync processes. I'm sure it will be similar in 8.1. If you use a workflow rather than an input form you can set up a transition at top level of the workflow. This transition is used as an error checker which can move the workflow to an error handler section. The error handler can then do stuff like send out notices etc.
Something like this pseudo code:
<TaskDefintion...>
<Extension...>
<WFProcess...>
  <Variable .../>
  <Variable .../>
  <Transition to="Error Handler">
    <!-- your error checking here, notice it is not inside an activity but at the top level of the workflow -->
  </Transition>
  <Activity ...>
    <!-- Actions go here -->
    <Transition to="next"/>
  </Activity>
  <Activity name="Error Handler">
    <!-- Do things like send notifications out -->
    <Transition to="end"/>
  </Activity>
</TaskDefinition>The top level transition (which checks for the error) is called between each activity so it's perfect as an error checker.
