Lists of specific error messages are contained in the
AppErrors.csv and
AlertSeverities.csv files, which can be edited by double-clicking them in the
Data Files section of the project tree view. These lists are based on significant consulting experience and meet the needs of most users.
If however you feel that certain error messages are missing, or you wish to add additional error messages, you can customize
these files.
Customizing Error Messages in HTML
The
AppErrors.csv file contains error messages that cause errors to be raised when they occur in HTTP responses. Each row defines one error
message across three columns:
- Severity: Specifies the severity of error that is to be raised. Values in this column must begin with S, I, W, E, or T (signifying
the severities
Success,
Informational,
Warning,
Error, or
Transaction Exit).
- Data or Html: Specifies whether the entire HTTP response should be searched for the error message (API function
WebVerifyData), or whether only the visible HTML content should be searched for the error message (API function
WebVerifyHtml). Values in this column must begin with either D or H.
- Error String: The text of the error message. If you want to catch a set of error messages that have a common substring, it
is good practice to enter only one entry where the
Error String is the common substring. Example: If you have 100 different error messages, which all begin with
Microsoft SQL error:, it is sufficient to have one list entry with the
Error String
"Microsoft SQL error:.
