Error logging and fail modes in the Assembler QPAC workflows
When you set up a workflow using the Assembler QPAC, you can select the error logging level and the fail
mode that LiveCycle Workflow uses when exceptions occur.
You can set the error logging level to Off (no logging), Normal (brief messages), or Debug (detailed
descriptions of errors). You can associate a process variable (for example,
the Output Log Document field in order to store the log messages.
You can set the fail mode to Stall Process or Terminate Process to direct the Assembler QPAC to stall or
terminate a process when an exception occurs in LiveCycle Assembler.
When a job fails with Stall Process selected, the workflow process stalls, but is not terminated. If logging is
set to Normal or Debug, information about the exception appears on the LiveCycle Workflow Stalled
Action page in Administrator. Component administrators should search for the process and terminate it,
and then return to Administrator and delete the stalled action if desired. The logged messages are
displayed on the stalled action page, but not on the process page.
When a job fails with Terminate Process selected, the workflow process terminates when an exception is
thrown. If logging is set to Normal or Debug, information about the exception is written to the log file for
the component for which the exception was thrown. For Watched Folder, the log file is the activity.log file
that is placed in the /failure subdirectory of the configured watched folder.
If you are configuring an Assembler QPAC for use with Watched Folder, you should set the fail mode to
Terminate Process. Watched Folder users may not have access to Administrator, so if processes stall but are
not terminated, users do not receive messages about the exception until the process is terminated. Setting
the fail mode to Terminate Process ensures that error messages are logged to the activity.log file, which is
available in the [watchedfolder]/failure directory (when the logging level is set to Normal or Debug).
For information on setting error logging and fail modes, see Using LiveCycle Assembler QPACs.
