Enterprise-grade exception handling in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations through X++

On his blog, Vishal Sahijwani wrote that exception handling in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations is often done in a very basic way. The main goal is usually just to catch an error and move on. While this works at a technical level, he wrote, it makes production support and troubleshooting much harder because the real system error details are lost.

A better approach, he wrote, is to use an Infolog-driven exception handling pattern. 

In his post, Sahijwani explained how this lets you capture the exact error messages generated by the system, understand how serious the error is, and build solutions that are easier to support and reliable in production.

Writing on his blog, Parag Chapre wrote that after working on many Dynamics 365 HR, Finance, and Supply Chain projects, he kept seeing the same problems with the standard approvals app.
