ECS Error Codes(4.3)

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 ECS Statistics(4.3), and ECS Statistics Event(4.3).

Note!

Several Error Codes can be attached to the same UDR. This will affect the ECS Statistics output. For further information, see Error Code Search ECS Statistics(4.3).

To create an Error Code, select the Error Codes button. 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.

Setting	Description

Setting	Description
Error Code	The Error Code that will be attached to UDRs or batches. This is shared between ECS and Data Veracity.
Description	A description of the error code.
RP Group	The reprocessing group that the Error Code will be assigned to.

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. Any information can be appended into an Error Code using APL. See the example below.

Example - Error case appended using APL

An Error Case can be appended using APL code.

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

In this example the "CALL ID ERROR" is defined in the ECS Error Code dialog, found in the Edit menu in the ECS Inspector.

Note!

To clear the errors for a UDR the udrClearErrors function should be used.
