Get Subtype

Retrieves the exception subtype from the exception object.

Inputs

Collaboration exception
The collaboration exception (a CollaborationException object).

Output

Returns a String that contains the exception subtype for the current exception. For more information on valid exception subtypes, see the Notes section.

Notes

For exceptions whose exception type does not adequately identify the cause of the exception, the exception subtype can provide more information. The following exception types most commonly use exception subtypes:

Important

The AppTimeOut, AppLogOnFailure, AppRetrieveByContent, AppMultipleHits, and AppUnknown exception subtypes correspond to outcome-status values that an adapter can return to indicate the cause of failure. Older adapters might not support all of the corresponding outcome-status values. Make sure you rigorously test any adapters that are bound to your collaboration with the Test Connector tool to determine the actual outcome-status values they return.
