Database Message Mappings
This feature is used to assign User unstandable error messages to specific Database error messages. This allows a non-technical user to fully understand the database error message. An english translation for the technically challenged ;-)
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Message Number | An incremental number automatically assigned by the system. |
| Message from Database | A message or a distinct portion of the message which the database sends out upon an error. |
| Message for User | An english description of the error message. |
When the system presents an error message that orignates with the database, the error message is checked against this table. If a match is found, the "Message for User" is presented on the resulting message screen. For example "duplicate key error" can be changed into "an entry with this key (unique identified) value has already been entered. Please click "back" and enter a different key value, then try to save the record again".
