Message format

Edit online

Messages that are logged by IBM® Verify Identity Access adhere to message standards. Each message consists of a message identifier (ID) and accompanying message text.

Message ID format

A message ID consists of 10 alphanumeric characters that uniquely identify the message.

A message ID is composed of:
  • Three-character product identifier
  • Two-character or three-character component or subsystem identifier
  • Three-digit or four-digit serial or message number
  • One-character type code that indicates the severity of the message

The figure that follows shows a graphical representation of a possible message ID and identifies its different parts. (Some messages might use 2 characters for the component ID and 4 digits for the serial number.)
