Sorting and Filtering Error Messages

This section helps you understand how the messages (errors / warnings / information) are displayed in a dialog box for failed interoperability operations. Multiple occurrences of the same message can be filtered and a generic message will be displayed. On selecting a particular message (error/warning), the list of affected objects will be displayed in a separate frame below the message, with an advice providing corrective action wherever possible.

The report is generated and displayed to the user to indicate the reasons for failure. This dialog box informs the user about the possible causes for failure by classifying them as Error, Warning or Information. It is represented as shown below.

The error dialog box extends to all the interoperability scenarios. The reporting dialog box will:

• display the messages in the order as Error/Warning/Information.
  • Error: The errors are generated whenever any operation fails.
  • Warning: The warnings are generated whenever any operation fails.
  • Information: Usually informative messages about the status at the end of failed operations.
