After you have modified the automatic error messages or
added explicit messages in the -GE Lines of
the Segment's Data Element calls (-CE Lines),
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 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:
INVALID_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,
you must create a file with a
.properties extension
and copy-paste the lines above in it. 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:
- Modified the automatic error messages by remplacing them vith
your own messages or by supplementing them with documentation,
- And/or added explicit error messages which correspond to errors
desribed with specific code.
To generate this batch error message file, you must:
- Right-click on an open location, the Data Structure entity level,
or a Data Structure and select . A
generation wizard opens up then, displaying all the Data Structures
present in the Repository. If you have opened te wizard from:
- A Repository or the Data Structure entity level, all the Data
Structures are selected by default.
- A Data Structure, only this Data Structure is selected by default.
You can select or deselect the Data Structurs with the All or None buttons
or by clicking the checkbox located on each Data Structure line. Only
the error messages assigned to the selected Data Structure(s) will
be generated.
- Fill in the generation wizard which opens up and click Finish.
Results
The generation generates the error messages in the file (with
a
.txt extension) you have indicated in the wizard.
You will then have to integrate this file into the error messages
file used by the applications, via:
- A direct load into an indexed file or a DB2 database,
- Or an update of this file.
In both cases, you are responsible for this integration process.
