System: Error Item Type and Item Attributes

To view the details of the System: Error item type, choose Open from the File menu in the Oracle Workflow Builder, then connect to the database and select the System: Error item type or connect to a file called wferror.wft in the <ORACLE_HOME>\wf\Data\<Language> directory.

The System: Error item type contains the following item attributes:

These item attributes are referenced by the function, notification, and event activities that make up the error processes called Default Error Process, Retry-only, Default Event Error Process, Default Event Error Process (One Retry Option), and Error Process for Notification Response Processing.

Important: If you create a custom error handling process in your own item type, Oracle Workflow automatically sets the above item attributes when it calls your error handling process. If these item attributes do not already exist in your process, Oracle Workflow creates them at runtime. However, if you want to reference these item attributes in your error handling process, such as in a message, you must first create them as item attributes in your process's item type at design time using Oracle Workflow Builder.
