Custom Error Types
The following table describes the error types that are listed on the Instance Analytics tab on the Edit Process page.
Error Type
Description
Built-in System Errors
Built-in system errors are error types that are automatically assigned to all processes by Process Tracker. For built-in system-error types, users can only configure whether the specific error condition stops (cancels) a process instance. The following three built-in system-error types are automatically assigned to all processes: Step Out Of Sequence, Subprocess Error, and System Error.
*The built-in system-error types Step Out Of Sequence and System Error are displayed by default for all processes.
*The built-in system-error type System Error indicates an exception detected in the Analytic Engine that affects the status (also known as the state) of a process instance or a step instance. System Error types are for troubleshooting or explaining an incorrect process status or step status.
*The built-in system-error type Subprocess Error will appear only for processes that contain referenced subprocesses.
Standardized Errors
Standardized error types are user-defined error types tracked by Optimize. Standardized error types relate to conditions triggered by the Analytic Engine against a process instance, a step instance, or a step transition instance. Standardized error types use built-in error conditions that can be configured on the Add Standardized Error Type page.
Custom Errors
Custom error types are user-defined error types that are activated externally and tracked by Optimize. Custom error types can be defined by the user on the Create Custom Error Type page. Alternatively, custom error types can be created automatically by Optimize upon detection of the first received custom error, via the pushExecutionError (Execution Error) operation (for more information, see Sending Process Data in Configuring and Using the Web Service Data Collector).
The following table describes the information that is displayed on the Instance Analytics tab on the Edit Process page.
Column
Description
Name
Name of the error type.
For
Scope of the error condition. All Process Instances indicates that this error type applies to all instances of the process. If the error type applies to only one dimension of the process, that dimension is displayed in the following format:
dimension name(event mapname): dimension value
Condition
The condition that, when true, causes an error of this type to display in the Process Errors panel on the Process Instance Detail page.
Last Occurrence
Timestamp of the last occurrence of an error of this type.
Stop
Whether tracking of this process instance will stop when the error condition occurs.
Green Checkmark icon = The occurrence of this error condition stops the tracking of this process instance.
Red Circle icon = Tracking of this process instance will continue even if this error condition occurs.
Edit
Click Edit icon to edit the definition of this error type. The three built-in system-error types (System Error, Step Out Of Sequence, and Subprocess Error) can only be edited to specify whether the occurrence of the error condition stops (cancels) the tracking of the process instance.
