Defining an Error Action

ActiveTransfer Server 10.7 | webMethods ActiveTransfer Documentation | Administering ActiveTransfer Server | Managing Events | Defining an Error Action

You can have ActiveTransfer execute an error action if any of the configured actions for a post-processing or scheduled event fail. You can use any of the event actions that ActiveTransfer offers as the defined error action. For example, if a file copy action fails, you can use the Send Email action to notify an administrator of the failure.

The error action is subject to the following conditions:

You can create only one error action per event.

You must configure an event action to execute the error action by selecting the Execute error action check box for the action.

You must configure the error action just as you would configure any other post-processing or scheduled event action.

To define an error action

1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > Managed File Transfer > Event Management.

2. Select the server instance. For details, see Selecting the Instance to Work With.

3. Click the tab containing the event for which you are creating the file operation action (Post-Processing Events or Scheduled Events).

4. Select the event from the event list.

5. In the Actions section, click the Select Error Action list, highlighted in pink.

6. In the resulting dialog box, click the Select Category list, and then select the type of action you want to execute if an error occurs. For more information about these actions, see Defining Actions to Execute when an Event Is Triggered.

7. Define the properties for the selected error action. For more information, see the reference table in Defining Actions to Execute when an Event Is Triggered.

8. Click Save.

9. If you are finished defining event and error actions for this event, activate the event. See Activating an Event.
