In Bentley Map, is there any way to trap and log all Posting Errors (Database Errors) rather than just displaying to the user as a table?

Question

In Bentley Map V8i, is there any way to trap and log all Posting Errors (Database Errors) rather than just displaying to the user as a table? What happens is users get these errors, and to log a ticket, they have to right click on the Posting Error, "Copy Selected Error" that paste into a ticket. This rarely happens, and so our users get errors which go unreported. If there was a way to configure \ setup Bentley Map to capture these errors in a central place. If there is no way (i.e. a magic configuration variable) then perhaps if there was a way to trap the posting error in the code and manage it ourselves would also be good. 
 We are aware of the methods of adding in tracing in Oracle to capture the queries. 
 Thanks,Mike

Mike, 
 In the %temp%\Bentley\GeoDataInterchange folder you should find PostError_n.log files. 
 You may also want to consider checking the .ErrorInstances property after post operations, then iterate through those, logging as necessary. 
 GDIPostProcessor postProcessor = new GDIPostProcessor();

 postProcessor.Post(GeoDataInterchangeAddIn.Instance.MasterFileImport.StorageImports[0], criteria);

 // Check for possible posting errors, logging as necessary.
 if (postProcessor.ErrorInstances != null && postProcessor.ErrorInstances.Count > 0)
 {
 System.Text.StringBuilder builder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
 foreach (IECInstance errorInstance in postProcessor.ErrorInstances)
 {
 Exception ex = postProcessor.GetExceptionFromErrorInstance(errorInstance);
 builder.AppendLine(string.Format("Error instance: {0}, class: {1}, message: {2}", errorInstance.InstanceId, errorInstance.ClassDefinition.Name, 
 ex != null ? ex.Message: string.Empty));
 }
 Bentley.MicroStation.Application.MessageCenter.ShowErrorMessage("Exceptions occurred when posting, see Message details", builder.ToString(), true);
 }
 }
