Hi,

We use Export log to xml with option (Only Include failed Action in log) and analyse this xml according to actiontype.

We ignore action type of **TIncludeProjectAction** and others in order to detect&nbsp;actual failed&nbsp;compilations.&nbsp;

The problem is that String position action if failed appears with GIUD like actionType in xml. How we can filter those actions?

For example:

**="{163622B4-B7EE-4045-B1AA-B97DF9DB0BE0}"** datetime="20100617000000" starttime="20100617122020" endtime="20100617122020" runtime="18991230000000" result="1" status="Error Ignored" actionid="{C06EE4B2-BA2C-4C56-B49E-D9F495A96120}" instanceid="{C06EE4B2-BA2C-4C56-B49E-D9F495A96120}0" /\>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Please advice

Rita

I’m not sure understand exactly what you are doing and what is failing?

Nothing is failed but I want to detect actions in xml by actiotype, but in case of string position the action type is not string but GIUD. I bold in my example action type that it is easy to understand like TIncludeProjectAction and one of 163622B4-B7EE-4045-B1AA-B97DF9DB0BE0 that it not simple to detect and filter.   
 How to understand that failed action in xml is string position?

Hi Rita,   
  
 All actions that are written in ActionStudio will have a GUID as their unique identifier, depending on what you’re using to analyse the XML you could use a lookup table or similar to make it easier to filter the actions.
