adding payload to code activity exception

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by liranelisha

i'm writing a PCF that calls a code activity.

in the ode activity i want to throw exceptions of 2-3 types and i want to differentiate between them with a simple condition

is it possible to add errorType, or any other field to the exceptions returned from the code activity? is there any documentation on this?

thank you

    Hello,

    I usually use the following approach:

    1. In the action or custom api (I believe this is what you are talking about) I introduce new properties like "Success (bool)", "ErrorMessage (string)".

    2. When something goes wrong in the codebehind I just set Success to false and pass ErrorMessage that contains the description of what exactly wrong.

    3. Use Success/ErrorMessage in clientside code.

    hmmm... that means all the calls to the backend return 200, even though some of them are failures, right?

    is this the best practice in dynamics?

    The challenge here is that you don't have control over the code that is returned and you can set the message returned only.

    That is why I used this approach to differentiate between different issues that could occur at the backend.
