Error handling for importing xml files

Hello,

I am currently importing orders via an XML port.

The orders from the XML files end up in a buffer table through the XML port.

Now I have written a codeunit that automates the import.

Via a task queue the orders from a folder are imported regularly.

But every now and then the import runs into an error. For this reason I need an error overview.

How can I implement this? Can I orientate myself here somewhere at the standard?

Thanks a lot ;)

What do you mean with error overview? Do you need to log failures on job queue task or do you need to create logs for data import errors?

You could use telemetry for checking job queue failures or you can implement your own logging in business process by using TryFunctions and write custom logs.

Thank you for your support ;)

Perhaps I was not precise enough.

All I really want is this: if the XML port runs into an error, then I want to write the error message to my buffer table (field: error text) so that the user can see why the import failed. After all, there is the function GETLASTERRORTEXT. I would then probably use this. But I don't know where to store it. In the XML port or in the code unit that calls the XML port?

I also noticed that if I import several orders at once via job queue and one of the orders runs into an error, the whole import process is aborted. How can I prevent this? Of course, the job queue should then continue with the next order if the order previously ran into an error. How do I achieve that?
