create a log object and maintain what ever information that u need to track in the log with in repective fields ...when ever trigger fails create a log object in the trigger catch blog and create a record based on the requirement and error deatils...if salesforce itself is unavailable then u can't track this....

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

 

Can i create an object at run time?

 

I read somewhere that we cannot be able to create a field or object dynamically.

nope create a custom object in the system and create the log record for that object.. thats what i am saying ... u can't create a object through apex....

Hi Kiran,

 

You mean I need to create aCustum object with a textarea field say Log and write to this field each time when my trigger fails. Is my understanding right?

 

Thanks
