Re: How to get the error message of workflow run

karen6i · ‎10-02-2011

Hi,

I have created a web service client using C# and trying to excute workflow via SOAP.

If the workflow that I run failed in the orchestrator, how can I get the error message of the workflow run via SOAP?

Hi,

You should be able to use the WorkflowToken object and its xmlContent attribute.

Here you are a piece of Java code that you could adapt to your C# client:

Workflow wf = ...

WorkflowToken token = vsoWebControl.executeWorkflow(wf.getId(), username, password, null);

System.out.println(token.getGlobalState()); // probably "running"

while ("running".equals(token.getGlobalState())) {

System.out.println("waiting for workflow to finish...");

Thread.sleep(500, 0); // wait for half a second

token = vsoWebControl.getWorkflowTokenForId(token.getId(), username, password);

}

System.out.println(token.getGlobalState()); // "failed" if there is an exception

String content = token.getXmlContent();

System.out.println("content = " + content); // exception message should be there

I hope it helps.

Regards,

Sergio
