15.3.3.4 Creating Page Process Success and Error Messages

Define both success and error messages that display when a process runs.

You can define both success and error messages that display when a process runs. How an error message displays depends upon the processing point. For processes with a processing point of On Submit - Before Computation and Validations or On Submit - After Computations and Validations, you can specify whether the error message displays inline on the current page (the default) or on a separate page. For all other page processes, error messages display on a separate error page.

To create a page process error or success message:

  1. View the page in Page Designer:
    1. On the Workspace home page, click the App Builder icon.
    2. Select an application.
    3. Select a page.
    Page Designer appears.
  2. Click the Processing tab in the left pane.
  3. In either the Rendering or Processing tab, expand the nodes to locate and select the process.

    Process attributes display in the Property Editor. Attributes are organized in groups.

  4. Under Success Message:
    • Success Message, Success Message - Enter the success message for this process.

      If the process runs and does not generate an error, then this process success message displays in the notification section of the resulting page displayed. If you are branching to another page using a URL redirect, you may need to check the preserve success message attribute.

      To learn more, select the attribute and click the Help tab in the central pane.

  5. Under Error:
    1. Error, Error Message - Enter the error message for this process. This message displays if an unhandled exception is raised. After any error processing stops, a rollback is issued and an error message displays.
    2. Error, Display Location - Select where this process error message displays, when the process fails to complete successfully.

      Option include:

      • Inline in Notification - The process error message displays in the Notification area (defined as part of the page template).
      • On Error Page - Error displays on a separate error page.
