Write log file on error

Question

With alert configuration we can send notify user when there is an error.
Is there a way to write a log file when there is an error (assume no BPM used).

Answer 1

There are a couple of things you can do to create a log file:
1. You can create a custom alert and trigger it by generating an exception in your message mapping. This can be done using a user defined function. In the same user defined function you can call a communication channel to write the error log file.
2. You can create 2 interfaces the first one is your main interface, in that interface donot error out the interface in the message mapping. Populate a certain error value in the target and use that value in another message map to create another map with the error
IntfA -
> UDF (Error --> X) ---> Target (<field Z>X</field>). --> IntfB
IntfB -
> Check value for X in field Z to populate the eror records to the target structure --> intFC.
Same condition u need to put in the rcvr determination so that it doesnot give an error.
