Write Exceptions to File

[iq_etl]

I've got a sequence with an Exception Handler in it that then leads to a Notification Activity. There's not a lot of data to go on with from just the Notification Activity, so serves more as a 'heads-up' only.

However, I'd like it to be more useful than that.

I'd like the Exception Handler to write the $ErrSource, $ErrNumber, and $ErrMessage to a sequential file, and this file would then be attached to the email send via the Notification Activity.

The above seems like a pretty straightforward way to quickly get access to why the exception was triggered.

So...how to do it?

Between the Exception Handler and Notification Activity would I include a Job Activity that goes to a job which writes the $Err* values to a Sequential File? How do I capture those values in the first place?

Thanks!

Expose job parameters to receive these values. In the Job activity set the values for those parameters using the activity variables from the Exception Handler.
