Hello,

I'm developing a new Process Model on an Appian 7.6 installation and i would like to know if it's possible to perform error handling on a Write To Data Store Entity node.

Because this process model is for data entry and has a short duration, all forms work in a chain. This chain breaks when there is an error in the execution of the Write To Data Store Entity and the user is never aware of what has happened. Our only indication of an error is an entry in the Designer's Alerts.

Is there a way to catch this error without breaking the chain so that a different flow can be followed and the user can be informed?

As a comparison note, the Database Connectivity node has a Pause On Error option so that it's possible for us to catch any JDBC errors.

Regards,
Thanos...

One possibility would be to use a timer event in the exceptions tab. You can make the assumption that if this node takes more than a certain number of minutes to complete, it has likely errored out. In that case you can skip that node and move on to a different path of logic.
