Format of Error Codes Without Parameters

The format of error codes informs you of the scope of the component, the log severity level, the subsystem of the component, and the unique error number.

The new error code numbers use the following format:
Scope.Subsystem.Name=000110020789

The format used is parsed and described in the following table:

Number of Error Code Number Digits Description
1 - 4 The first four digits specify the scope of the component (for example, EDI).
5 The next one digit specifies the log severity level. The convention is:
  • 1 = error/exception
  • 2 = debug messages
  • 3 = warnings
  • 4 = information/all messages
6 - 8 The next three digits specify the subsystem of the component (for example, EDI_EDIFACTDEENVELOPING).
9 -12 The next four digits specify the unique error number (this number is unique in conjunction with the rest of the error code format (such as the scope and so forth).
For example, this is an EDIFACT deenveloping system message:
EDI.EDI_EDIFACTDEENVELOPING.DEB_DeenvelopeEDIFACTServiceImpl_start=000520040001
The format used in this message (to the left of the equals sign) is parsed and described in the following table:
Parameter Description
Scope EDI
Subsystem EDI_EDIFACTDEENVELOPING (the EDIFACT deenveloping subsystem, which is a subset of EDI in the system)
Name DEB_DeenvelopeEDIFACTServiceImpl_start

This is the name of the error message which, when translated into the system log, reads DeenvelopeEDIFACTServiceImpl processData() starting...
The format used in this message (to the right of the equals sign) is parsed and described in the following table:
Number of Error Code Number Digits Description
1 - 4 The first four digits (0005) specify the scope of the component (EDI).
5 The next one digit (2) specifies the log severity level, indicating that this is a debug message (DEB).
6 - 8 The next three digits (004) specify the subsystem of the component (EDI_EDIFACTDEENVELOPING).
9 -12

The next four digits (0001) specify the unique error number (this number is unique in conjunction with the entire error code format.
