How to Create Custom Exception File Components

The custom exception file enables you to provide and check in a custom exception file to SPS. You can then use the custom exception file to deploy the application server instead of the default exception file which is provided by the plug–in.

Before You Begin

The custom exception file must be available on the machine where the custom exception file component is created.
