Error Policy (Magic xpi 4.5)
Use the Error Policy column of the Error Policies repository to determine how Magic xpi will handle errors. The options are:
-
Abort: This terminates the current flow and carries out the Abort process.
-
Ignore: This ignores the error and the flow continues.
-
Restart Flow: This restarts the flow from the first step and carries out the Restart process.
-
Retry: This retries the current step. In the IFS.ini file’s StepRetryLimit= flag, you can set the number of times the Magic xpi Server will retry to execute a step when the Retry error policy option is selected. The default is three retries.
-
Jump: This jumps to another step (which is indicated in the Step column of the Error Policies tab). Jump enables you to go to a section of the flow that is not normally accessible. You can have a branch in the flow where the condition is False, and can only be reached by using Jump.
When you use the Jump method, the flow continues from that step and does not continue with the step that raised the error.
You define the error policy per flow. For example, if you define the error policy for email in Flow 1 to Abort, the error policy for the same error in Flow 2 can be Ignore.
