9.24.4.6 ECS Error Codes

With the Error Codes option, errors can be specified in the ECS and associated with both UDRs and batches. A reprocessing group can also be assigned an Error Code, and when an entity is inserted in the ECS it will thereby automatically be available for collection by the ECS Collection agent.

There are two predefined Error Codes within the system, AGGR_UNMATCHED_UDR and DUPLICATE_UDR, which are automatically set by the Aggregation and Duplicate UDR Detection agents when the corresponding error condition is detected. All other Error Codes are defined by the user.

Apart from being accessible in the ECS Inspector, the error codes will also be used in ECS Statistics, see 9.24.5 ECS Statistics, and 4.3.22 ECS Statistics Event.

To create an Error Code, select Error Codes... from the Edit menu. This will display the ECS Error Code dialog.

Selecting Add will open the Add ECS Error Code dialog. This is where assignments of new Error Codes are made.

A user may send optional information to the ECS from an Analysis or an Aggregation agent, as long as an Error Code has been defined. To this Error Code, any information may be appended using APL. See the example below.

udrAddError( input, "CALL ID ERROR",  
     "The callId: " 
     + input.callId 
     + ", Calling number: " 
     + input.anum
    );
