Logging errors from job's program

Question

Hello,
I want to log error returned from the job's program and I wonder whether it is possible at all.
What I have done is:
1) write a procedure
2) create a program executing this procedure
3) create a job running this program
From time to time this procedure returns error (it does some operation on objects and sometimes some of them are invalid). Normally, this error causes job to finish it's action (job failure as well). I needed this job to proceed so I added a clause 'exception when others then null'. Now it works, but it's a temporary solution because I need to capture this error and log it, so that it is available for further investigation.
I searched through oracle doc and it seems the only choice is to create my own table or file and log the results into it.
Does any of you know any other way? For example to log it in somehow into system tables (like dba_scheduler_job_run_details).
Thanks in advance,
Aliq

Hi Dharmesh,
Thanks for responding.
This is a large deployment involving hundreds of applications and servers. My responsibility is to come up with development guidelines for applications hosted on TS. I have gone through the guidelines
posted by Microsoft @
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383490(v=vs.85).aspx. But it didn't cover the topic on logging.
Do you know whether Microsoft has published any other document on this topic.
Thanks,
Raj
