'server' method throwing error needs to be 'caught' for more meaningful message.

Here is what I'm trying to do.

I am calling code which eventually leads us to Classes\DimensionDefaultingEngine\constructForMainAccountId method. This method will throw the following error correctly:

if (!_mainAccountId || !_accountStructureId)
{
throw error(Error::wrongUseOfFunction(funcName()));
}

The account structure for the main account is not setup correctly. This is perfectly fine. The error should be thrown.

What I want to do is 'catch' this thrown error so that I can give the user a more meaningful message to have them fix the problem.

try { ...}

catch (Exception::error){

error("Meaningful message");

}

This try / catch doesn't seem to want to do anything.

try-catch in AX has specific behaviors based on transaction scope. The code where you placed the try catch is likely being called from within a transaction scope, which means you essentially can't catch it.
