A brief update. After allowing a database exception to suspend several records, I found that eventually I did see the exception logged correctly when handled within the Scope shape exception handler. Since I can detect an Error, now I can at least inform someone there was a generic DB error so that the message(s) can be reprocessed later. I just need to find a way to cleanly handle each specific situation based on the exception message contents or exception type.
