manage unexpected situations gracefully and continue functioning as intended. Here’s how to
handle errors effectively in Blue Prism:

1. Use Exception Handling Blocks

Exception Blocks:

 Use Exception Blocks within your process to catch and manage errors that occur during
the execution of actions. These blocks allow you to define how to handle exceptions and
ensure that your process doesn’t terminate abruptly.

Configuration:

 Add an Exception Block to your process.

 Drag and Drop the Exception Block onto the stage where you want to handle errors.
 Configure Actions within the Exception Block to manage the error, such as logging it,
sending notifications, or attempting recovery actions.

2. Configure Retry Logic

Retry Stages:

 Implement retry logic to handle transient errors that might resolve themselves if retried.
This is useful for actions that might fail intermittently.

Configuration:

 Add a Decision Stage before the action you want to retry.

 Use the Retry Count property to specify how many times the action should be retried
before considering it a failure.
  Set a Delay between retries to allow for potential resolution of temporary issues.

3. Use Data Items for Error Tracking

Error Data Items:

 Create data items to capture and store error information, such as error messages, error
codes, and the context in which the error occurred.

Configuration:

 Add Data Items to your process to hold error details.

 Assign Values to these data items when an error occurs, so you can use this information
for logging, notifications, or further analysis.

4. Implement Logging and Notifications

Logging:

 Utilize the Blue Prism Business Objects to log errors to a file or database. This helps in
tracking and diagnosing issues over time.

Configuration:

 Create a Business Object that includes actions for writing to a log file or database.
 Invoke the Business Object from your Exception Block to log details about the error.

Notifications:

 Send notifications (e.g., emails) when critical errors occur. This ensures that relevant
stakeholders are informed promptly.

Configuration:

 Use the Send Email Action from a Business Object to configure email notifications.
 Trigger the Email Action from the Exception Block or other parts of your process when
an error is encountered.

5. Use the Process and Object Layers

Process Layer:

 Handle errors at the process level to manage exceptions that occur during the execution
of multiple actions within the process.

Object Layer:
  Manage errors at the object level to handle issues within specific business objects used by
the process. This approach allows for more granular control of error handling.

6. Testing and Validation

Thorough Testing:

 Test your processes thoroughly to ensure that error handling is functioning as expected.
Simulate various error scenarios to validate that your error handling logic responds
appropriately.

Validation:

 Continuously validate and refine your error handling approach based on real-world usage
and feedback. Make adjustments as needed to improve robustness and reliability.

Example Scenario

Suppose you have a process that interacts with a web application, and you want to handle errors
if the web application is down or if a particular action fails:

1. Add an Exception Block around the action that interacts with the web application.
2. Configure Retry Logic to retry the action if it fails due to a transient issue.
3. Log Error Details using a Business Object that writes to a log file.
4. Send an Email Notification if the error persists after the retry attempts.

By implementing these strategies, you can ensure that your Blue Prism processes handle errors
effectively, maintain operational stability, and provide valuable insights for troubleshooting and
improvement. If you have any specific errors or scenarios you need help with, feel free to
provide more details!
