I have created a server-side javascript activity as follows. I also have a automation created via automation studio which executes the server-side script. It is succeeding each time however I don't see the update being done on the data extension. How can I debug to see the error msg?

<script  runat="server">

Platform.Load("core","1");

    try {

var caslDE = DataExtension.Init("6C119FFD-0EF5-476A-8127-E2E70D80ED04");

caslDE.Rows.Update({Source:"EXACT"}, ["Prospect Type"], ["A"]);

} catch (ex) {
    Write("An error has occurred: " + Stringify(ex));
}

</script>

I would put your code on a landing page, and test it that way. Like so:

%%[ 
    VAR @Result
]%%

<script  runat="server">

    Platform.Load("core","1");

    try {

    var caslDE = DataExtension.Init("6C119FFD-0EF5-476A-8127-E2E70D80ED04");

    caslDE.Rows.Update({Source:"EXACT"}, ["Prospect Type"], ["A"]);

    } catch (ex) {
        Write("An error has occurred: " + Stringify(ex));
        Variable.SetValue("@Result", Stringify(ex));  //sets above ampscript variable
    }

</script>
//// some basic page html goes here/////
%%=v(@Result)=%%

I did not know how to create a landing page, then I will share a complete solution of the problem.

  1. Go to your sales force marketing cloud interface
  2. Click on "Web Studio" -> "Cloud Pages"
  3. Click on "Create Collection"
  4. Click on "Create" -> "Landing Page"
  5. Click on "Code View"

  6. Insert your script as Timothy Said

    %%[ 
    VAR @Result
]%%

<script  runat="server">

    Platform.Load("core","1");

    try {

    var caslDE = DataExtension.Init("6C119FFD-0EF5-476A-8127-E2E70D80ED04");

    caslDE.Rows.Update({Source:"EXACT"}, ["Prospect Type"], ["A"]);

    } catch (ex) {
        Write("An error has occurred: " + Stringify(ex));
        Variable.SetValue("@Result", Stringify(ex));  //sets above ampscript variable
    }

  7. Click "save"

  8. Click "schedule/publish" and wait until your preview is ready.
