automation check for timeout

What is the correct method to check for a timeout state on an Element object in automation?

We're running a backup script for IDP configuration.
Since it's not using dummies, it's not failing the script, but we should still check for a timeout on the element before attempting to capture the config file from the managed element.

Hi Jeroen,

If you are not using the Code Library, you can use generic parameter 65008.

if (!thisElement.IsActive || Convert.ToInt32(thisElement.GetParameter(65008)) == 7)
{
engine.ExitFail("Element not available.");
}

Hi Ive,
Shouldn’t you first check if the element is active before executing a ‘GetParameter’ call? It will fail if the element is stopped.

Ive Herreman [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 14th June 2023

Hi Stijn, that’s a valid remark.
I’ve updated the answer above for future reference.
