Storing Errors from script into table or qvd

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I understand that QlikView can only catch one error at a time and and even store the number of times errors has occurred as a flag into a variable.

My new requirement needs me to store the type of errors that have occurred - file not found, field not found and wrong file format into a table or QVD so I can binary load it to the main app which contains the interface. I am implementing this in the QVD generation app. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this. Thank you

You can set the ErrorMode variable to 0

check if there is an error

and trace the error in the log file or in a different log file

Thanks for the info. I am working on resolving it. Will post the solution when I get it. It should be helpful to the community

hi,

its imprtent to understand that qlik checks for errors for each "STATEMENT" it executes

when using a line like this:

     set vErrorVar = $(ScriptError);

to catch the error in the variable, this is also a "STATEMENT", so after its succesfull execution, the ScriptError variable

gets reseted to 0(zero), thats why you cannot keep it anymore.

what i do is use it inside a load......autogenerate statement like this:

set Errormode= 0; // to turn on error capture

//{put your statement/s you want to test if it had errors}

//notice that only an error in  last statement will be captured if you use more then one statement

MyScriptErros:

Load

'$(#ScriptError)' as [Error Number],

'$(ScriptErrorDetails)'  as [Error Details],

'Insert here Text about this specific load and any remarks you have' as [Desc]

AutoGenerate 1 where not '$(#ScriptError)'=0; //the where here prevents lines been added if no error

SET ErrorMode = 1;

now at the end of your script you can store/show the "MyScriptErros" table.

of course this is very simplistic and you can evolve it further:)

hope it helps
