Inject Wildcard job repository error to Warning/Error connection?

Post by PdFUser5000 »

Sometimes, a Job Repository field that is taken from metadata, has symbols that are not readable for Switch. This gives the following error
" Dynamic property 'hierarchyTopFolder' has invalid value " and the job is sent to problem jobs.

Is it possible for this error to be sent to the error connection instead? I have many users using the workflow and i would like to send an error email to the user who caused this error. I can try to replace the wrong symbols with html via string replace, but since i dont know all the symbols that will go wrong, it's hard to predict them.

You can add an outgoing connection to the Problems Jobs folder and send it to a Send Mail. You could filter out the jobs so it will only send emails from this type of error.

Hello,
I wrote Inject Wildcard.
Can you please provide me the wrong symbols you know, so that I can reproduce this?

è, also ™ was recognized as "™" but i added that just for testing.

for testing I used : øåÅl'å™æ.eè&Å Switch read it as øåÅl'å™æ.e?&Å

What filter should i use? The file that goes into Problem jobs is an XML file and has nothing logged to it by which i can filter it. Or am i missing something?

You have a few Job.FailNN variables that could be used, such as Job.FailMessage, Job.FailModule or Job.FailElement. The last to can be tied to your Inject Variable element in the flow.
