Configuration

The exceptions.cfg configuration file consists of definitions of numbered exceptions. It can be stored at the root level or the site level.

This is the format and specification of exceptions.cfg:

[exception number]
stop=[0 - do not shutdown
           1 - shutdown at thread level
           2 - shutdown at process level
           3 - shutdown at site level]
restartAfter=[number of seconds]
description=[description]
notificationMethod=[TCL code to run to send notifications]
userInfo=[user information]

A specific notification mechanism can be configured for particular exceptions by providing a TCL expression to be evaluated. The most commonly used notification mechanism in practice is email.

In Windows, exceptions that are treated by this mechanism are logged centrally in $HCIROOT\exception.log.

On other platforms, they are logged both centrally in $HCIROOT\exception.log and in the engine output log.
