When an Invoke REST Web service action is configured to abort execution for HTTP errors, WEBCON displays only basic information such as the HTTP status code and the generic message:
“REST service call failed. HTTP-Code Conflict (409). Check the log for more information.”
The actual REST response, including the response body, is already stored in the action execution log. However, accessing this information requires navigating through administration tools or even querying the Content Database (WFActionExecutions) and decompressing LOG_CompressedAdditionalMessage.
It would be very helpful if the error message contained a direct link to the corresponding action execution log entry, for example:
View action log / View REST response
This should show the complete REST diagnostic information already recorded by WEBCON, especially:
HTTP response code
Response body
Request URL
Request/response headers where appropriate
Action name and execution timestamp
This would preserve the current rollback behavior while making REST errors much easier to diagnose without requiring direct database access.
