"Chore execution... FAILED!!!" Eeeh, not so much, no.
** Key Information (please complete the following information):**
- Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2 (yes, I know...)
- TM1 Version: 2.0.6 (yes, I also know, but I don't think this has anything to do with that.)
- Browser: N/A
- Arc clients: Web
- Arc Version: 4.0.0
- Excel Version: 365 64 bit
Describe the bug
You could argue whether this is a bug or not. It's certainly an annoyance. When I run a chore from Arc I sometimes get a Big! Red! Error! like this one, reading "Chore Execution Failed":
Oh no! My chore failed! All my data movements are lost! What caused the failure?
Haaang on a minute...
Yes, somebody typed a garbage date from 30 years into the future into the ERP system, resulting in one, count them, ONE out of several thousand rows rejecting and the process having an exit code of...
Yes, "minor error". Of one record.
So, having Arc tell me that the chore "failed" is rather like a doctor telling someone that her husband has died, her pointing out that he's still breathing, and the doctor reminding her that he DOES have a rather nasty paper cut on his finger, which amounts to the same thing.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior: Create a chore, feed one of the processes of the chore some data with a key error, run the chore from Arc, and when the chore ends, watch the screen light up like the Klingons are attacking.
Expected behavior
If the chore ABORTS due to an invalid parameter, an invalid data source, etc... in short, if one or more of the processes exits with a code of ProcessExitSeriousError(), then yes, I would agree that this message is valid.
If, however, any of the processes simply exit with a code of, for example, ProcessExitMinorError(), I would expect the message to be something more like the (rather less dramatic) one shown by Perspectives in the same circumstances: with the dialog in orange or yellow rather than "red alert".
