Errors during Runtime

Sometimes, when running entities, you may receive errors instead of the entity being run, such as the following error.

These errors can be indicative of an error in the entity creation or an error in the generation of the entity by the Xephr engine.

The error message consists of the following information:

Xephr Version: the version and build on which the error occurred.

Xephr Message: the error message returned by Xephr.

Error Type: the type of error

Message: error message

Stack Trace: information returned by the Xephr engine

Exception: entire Xephr exception

The Xephr message and error message should give you an idea as to the problem with the entity.  For example, in the above message, the problem is that a column is referenced in the select statement that does not exist in the table, thus the invalid identifier message that was returned from the database as a SQL exception.

The base information section at the bottom of the screen includes all of the information about the Xephr session on which the entity is being run.
