Changing workflow error messages

Thanh_Ho

Hello,In our LiveLink, we have a workflow used directly by end users. The problem is sometimes the workflow generates errors that don't sound easy to understand for end users. For example, the error message below is generated by the item handling step:"The workflow step (Add Original Format Major Version) which the workflow agent performed the "item handling" operation for you (assignee) has failed."We would like to change these messages to fit our environment but we don't really know where we can configure them.Could any one give any idea?Thanks,Thanh

Most, if not all, text is stored in language files in each module's ospace folder. Workflow's text is stored in /module/webwork_x_x_x/ospaceThere will be a .properties file for each language. Search wfmain?????.properties for "The workflow step" and you will find the string format. It looks like %2 is the step name. So you could change it to something like:You really messed up %2, try again ;-)Make a back-up of anything first and try changing it, then restarting your server.Of course ideally, you would create a custom module, over-ride that code and define your own label, but this may be overkill for what you need.
