Can I propagate errors from sub-workflows to the parent workflow?

[Tim Goodman <ti...@hooklogic.com>]

I have a workflow action with many sub-workflows.  If it's possible, I'd like to handle errors in the parent workflow only (e.g., by sending an email notification), rather than copying this action into every sub-workflow.

However, ${wf:errorMessage(wf:lastErrorNode())} is empty in the parent workflow if the error happened in a sub-workflow.  Is there a way for the parent workflow to retrieve the error message from the sub-workflow?

Thanks,

- Tim

Tim,

No, it is not possible today. You may want to open a JIRA to initiate a
discussion on how we could do this.

Thx
