Technically, you cannot execute another task from the On Error panel. You can, however, trigger the execution of a Module or trap the error and execute tasks based on the results of the error.
Environment
GoAnywhere MFT - all versions
Resolution/Implementation
First, add a new Module to your project. Give it a unique name.
Module:
Second, add tasks to the new Error Module that you would like executed when the error happens. This could be sending an email, copying a file, deleting a file, basically… whatever you want to accomplish based on the Error happening.
Next, go back to the task and expand the On Error panel. Select the "call:[module]" option and replace the [module] with the name of the Module you created above.
Now, during execution of your project, when an error happens during the execution of that task, control will be transferred to the Module defined in the On Error panel, and execution will continue from that point. This means, sending emails or whatever group of tasks you have defined in the Error Module.
Set Variable:
Using this outline, it shows the steps for this error logic.
First, create an error variable and initialize it to "false" (See "setVar: sftpError" above)
Next, setup the task you want to check for errors. In this example, we are wanting to make sure that a file is successfully SFTP'd to the client. Define the On Error panel to "setVariable" and have it change the "sftpError" variable defined prior if there is an error during the transfer of the file.
Then, condition the next step to execute only if there was an error during the transfer of the file.
*NOTE* the variable sftpError will only be changed to "false" if there were issues during the file transfer. Otherwise, it will remain "true".
In that IF statement, perform any tasks (like you did in the Module above).
