  • Hi,

    How come the Import Excel to Database smart service has output variables Error Occurred and Error Txt, but the activity throws out an exception such as below: 

    ???Unknown column <col> in 'field list'???

    Can the plugin also handle such error so we can gracefully perform our own error handling? E.g., notifying user, tagging document as invalid, etc.

  • in reply to jraaquino

    I agree on this, it will be easier for us to apply our own error handling if the plugin can handle such error
