Getting sequence filename and sequence name in process model error handler

[hans17]

We are using the sequential process model and would like to log sequence step error information to a file.  We have an Error Handler callback in SequentialModel.seq and that is where we will write to the error file.  In the Error Handler callback, I can get the error container info for the step where the error occurs and the name of the that step thru the Error Handler Step parameter.  I would also like to record the sequence file and the sequence where the error occurred, but I have not been able to find those in the sequence context.  I know they are available because the TestStand RunTime Error dialog box displays them.  How can I access the name of the sequence file and the name of the sequence where the error occurred?

Thanks,
Hans

Hey hans,

Use the API.  Since you already have the Step object reference coming in as a parameter you can just use a few ActiveX steps to get the Sequence File and Sequence from which the error was thrown.

Step.Sequence
Sequence.Name (gets the name of the sequence)
Sequence.SequenceFile
SequenceFile.Path (gets the path of the sequence file)

So basically just 4 activex steps.  I hope this helps.

Hi Sam,

The 4 ActiveX steps worked perfectly.

Thanks for your help!
