Get Message from GlideRecord.insert when not inserting

[Bruno Leclerc]

Hi,

Let's say, I want to insert a new record with GlideRecord.insert in background script.

If object is inserted, the return value is a new object. OK.

If object is Not Inserted for any reason, the return value is null, and a message is displayed on background console. OK.

I would like to programmatically catch this error to display it or do something with.

Do you know how to do that ?

thanks.

I know I have an error with encryption. Message is :

Background message, type:error, message: Invalid attempt to insert non-encrypted data into field: u_xxxxx in table: cmdb_ci_appl.

But my question is : how can I catch this message programmatically to do something with ....

Thanks.

@Bruno Leclerc 

you can use this function to get the error message from the gliderecord object of that table

Consider you are trying to insert some record and some BR is aborting the insert with some error message

Using this you can print that error message

gr.getLastErrorMessage();

OR

You can also use Try Catch block to print the exception message

try{
	var gr = new GlideRecord("table");
	gr.initialize();
	gr.field1 = 'hello';
	gr.insert();
}
catch(ex){
	gs.info('Exception' + ex);
}
