How to create a log when throw InvalidPluginExecutionException in a sync plugin

Posted on by Song

Hello,

I have an sync plugin for sending date to another system, and I create an new entity new_log to log the data sent or exception.

the main logical is that

try

{
logCenter.Init(crmservice)//to init logcenter by passing crm org service to it 

SendData();
logCenter.Trace("OK","blablabal");

}catch(ex)

{ 
logCenter.Trace("Failed","blablabal");
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException();

}

the problem is that as the plugin is registered on sync mode, when there is an exception, the log can not be created by logCenter, I think it was created but then was rollback by the plugin? Do you have any idea if I want to write the log by create a new crm record?

will it be OK if I make a new ACTION dedicated for the log?

Thanks

you can always write Finally {} block if you want to log.

Hi,

Yes you are correct. If you throw the exception from plugin, it will rollback the database transaction. However you can register your plugin on PreValidation stage which is outside of the database transaction so any operation performed here will persists.

You can read more about stages here: docs.microsoft.com/.../gg327941(v=crm.8)

Hope this helps.

And since no one answered your last question: Yes making a new Action for log registration and calling that from your plugin would work since the action is not executed in your pipeline and thus not part of the rollback.

Hi, we have to register the plugin in post-operation, I forgot to point it. so change it to pre-validation state is not OK for me.

Thanks

Then you can try with custom action.

Then I think you can't do this in plugin. You will have to move your code from plugin to custom workflow activity with the some string output parameter say "Returned Message" and then use that within the workflow to identify if the execution is sucessfull or not by returning the exception in the Returned message parameter. Within the workflow, check if returned paramter has any value, if yes, then cancel the workflow execution and display the error message returned by the custom workflow.

Hope this helps.
