What is the purpose of an internal exception in Blue Prism?

An internal exception in Blue Prism serves the specific purpose of reporting a problem without generating an external stage. This allows the system to handle various error conditions internally, providing a streamlined way to manage exceptions that occur during the execution of processes. By doing so, it allows for more controlled handling of errors directly within the Blue Prism environment without the need to escalate issues to external systems.

This internal mechanism is beneficial for maintaining process continuity and ensuring that exceptions can be addressed gracefully, facilitating smoother error recovery processes. It is particularly useful in scenarios where an issue arises that does not directly relate to user actions or external system failures, but rather pertains to the operational logic of the process itself.

The choice to handle exceptions internally supports better process management, allowing for more robust automation scenarios without interrupting the entire workflow unnecessarily.
