Capturing OD errors

Folks I am using send_email.ipl to return messages to the user as the workflow progresses from step to step. I have a generic message that gets sent to a team of TeamSite Masters if a deployment goes bad. What I am wondering is if there is a way to capture the error message/condition that returns from OpenDeploy and include it in the message.

If I understand what you're doing, you probably can get it.

I'm assuming a the deployment is being run as an external task of some sort. You would have to change the external task to be a script (Perl?) of some type to run the deployment, capture the output from the deployment then send the results via e-mail.

What is send_email.ipl?
What version of OpenDeploy?
What platform(s)?
How is this send_email.ipl script being run (workflow, DNR, other)?

Paul,
If you are using DNRs to kick off the email script, take a look at the in-memory log. Basically, OD will pass details to the DNR process via stdin.

The OD 5.6 Admin Guide, pp. 215-216, describes both the legacy and new formats:

+ Manifest format (new)
+ Information Stream Log format (legacy)

Note that the legacy Information Stream Log format cannot be used if you are using the OD 5.6 reporting feature.
