Send workflow into error from background method

[Kouw, FA - SPLTX]

Stephan,
 
Maybe I overlook something that makes your problem more complex, but isn't is possible to raise an exception
from your method in case the update fails? The exception should be of type 'A' = application error, which in
turn sets the work item to status 'Error' and the workflow too.
 
Regards,
