After you have modified the automatic error messages or
added explicit messages, you must generate them so that they get recognized
by the applications.
Before you begin
You must know whether a specific file must be used. The error
messages that it contains will replace the standard messages displayed
for any input errors automatically detected from the controls specified
on the Segment
-CE Lines tab.
A specific
file is to be used only if the standard messages are not adapted to
the applications of the current repository.
There are five standard
messages for errors on Data Elements and three standard messages for
errors on Segments:
Figure 1. List of the standard error
messagesINVALID_ABSENCE_FOR_THE_FIELD = INVALID ABSENCE FOR THE FIELD
INVALID_PRESENCE_FOR_THE_FIELD = INVALID PRESENCE FOR THE FIELD
INVALID_VALUE_FOR_THE_FIELD = INVALID VALUE FOR THE FIELD
NON_NUMERICAL_CLASS_FIELD = NON-NUMERICAL CLASS FIELD
NON_ALPHABETICAL_CLASS_FIELD = NON-ALPHABETICAL CLASS FIELD
INVALID_CREATION_RECORD = INVALID CREATION RECORD
INVALID_DELETE_MODIFY_RECORD = INVALID DELETE/MODIFY RECORD
END_OF_LIST = END OF LIST
To specify a new specific file, create a file with a
.properties extension.
Copy and paste the lines of the standard error messages in this file.
Then overwrite the error messages (second part of each line, after
the '
=' sign) as needed.
About this task
You must generate the batch error message file if you
have performed one of the following actions:
- Modified the automatic error messages by replacing them with your
own messages or by supplementing them with documentation,
- Added explicit error messages which correspond to errors described
with specific code.
You can generate this batch error message file in two different
ways:
Results
The generation generates the error messages in the file (with
a
.txt extension) you have indicated in the wizard.
You must then integrate this file into the error messages file used
by the applications. To do so, load into an indexed file or a DB2
database, or update this file. In both cases, you are responsible
for this integration process.
