Exception Logic

If any abnormal situation happens, an internal exception occurs within Optim™, resulting in the following:

  1. A trace entry is made in the appropriate trace file for use by Optim support personnel.
  2. A message is sent to the operator. For actions, this is put into the results of an action or within the error message bar.
  3. If there is no action and an operator is likely involved, a pop-up dialog displays.
  4. In UNIX, a message is written to syslog. In Windows, an event is recorded in the Event Log. These items carry a severity of fatal.Moreover, if Administrator Notification is turned on, an email will be sent to the proper administrators to address the failure.
  5. For most occurrences, the program is terminated.
