How to customize the validation error message

Hi,
In my infopath 2010 form, when a required field is skipped, we get a very cryptic error message which is not user friendly. Can anyone please let me know how can i customize this cryptic message with a more user friendly one.
many thanks.

Hello,
There is no straight solution of this problem. You may use data validation rule instead of field validation for validation so you can at least avoid that pop up error message.
Another way is, make field mandatory via code. you can just remove all field validation then check all fields data via code and cancel the submit event.
Another way is, add custom button form for submit, then hide this button until form validation is succeed.

How to check the SQL error message to address the application issue

Dears,
The application runs SQLs against Oracle via oracle client(actually the app is IBM Cognos which shows report and the data is from oracle database). So, for a report which fails to run, I want to check the sql and the error message for this failed sql statement. Where is the message stored, client or server and How to get it?
I know there is a view v$log used to check the sqls ran in database but here I mean the failed sqls....
Thanks,
Ricky Ru

The application only presents the application error message.. And it is not helpful for me to get the root cause..The application uses the Oracle Call Interface to communicate with the database server. OCI calls return a result code to the client. The client is expected to call OCIErrorGet() to get the full error text.
If the client does not do this, or obfuscate the server error, or suppress the server error? Crappy client. The lack of the client to play its role as client, correctly within the documented client-server architecture, is solely the client's problem. Not the server.
For DB2, I could use db2diag to check the log. why oracle can not do this? any thoughts?Because Oracle is not stupid? Why on sweet mother earth waste server resources to track client application errors, on behalf of clients? How does this make ANY sense!?
Oracle server's handles 1000's of SQL executions per second. Just where is it to find sufficient space to log application errors (not database system errors) at that rate? How do you justify that overhead? Using the argument that the application is poorly designed or written? Come on!

How to get the returned error messages in the Try/Catch block in DS 3.0?

A customer sent me the following questions when he tried to implement custom error handling in DS 3.0. I could only find the function "smtp_to" can return the last few lines of trace or error log file but this is not what he wants. Does anyone know the answers? Thanks!
I am trying to implement the Try/Catch for error handling, but I have
hard time to get the return the msg from DI, so I can write it to out
custom log table.
Can you tell me or point me to sample code that can do this, also, can
you tell me which tables capture these info if I want to query it from
DI system tables

Hi Larry,
In Data Services XI 3.1 (GAd yesterday) we made several enhancements for our Try/Catch blocks. One of them is the additional of functions to get details on the error that was catched :
- error_message() Returns the error message of the caught exception
- error_number() Returns the error number of the caught exception
- error_timestamp() Returns the timestamp of the caught exception.
- error_context() Returns the context of the caught exception. For example, "|Session Datapreview_job|Dataflow debug_DataFlow|Transform Debug"
In previous versions, the only thing you could do was in the mail_to function specify the number of lines you want to include from the error_log, which would send the error_log details in the body of the mail.
Thanks,
Ben.

How to customize production version error message

Hi Friends,
I copied the BAPI_REPMANCONF1_CREATE_MTS into Z FM and when I test the Z FM, I wantedly entered the wrong production version say ABCD instead of 1234. The message field of my return bapi BAPIRET2 is populated with an error message saying that "Production version not found". Till here it is working fine.
I need to modify my code in such a way that if I enter the wrong production version, my bapi should error me in such a way that "ABCD Production version not found" in the message field of BAPIRET2.
Please sugesst me ideas for solving this.
Thanks.

Nani,
Please follow approach suggested by Suman.
All you have to do is validate production version ( of that material/product?) against DB Tables before calling you ZFM or Std BAPI.
If you would like to go by my approach.. you will have to do something like this..
option1:
IF RETURN-TYPE = 'E' AND RETURN-ID EQ 'RM' AND RETURN-MESSAGE = '149'.
CONCATENAT 'XXXX' RETURN-MESSAGE INTO RETURN-MESSAGE.
ENDIF.
Option2: Create a Z class.
IF RETURN-TYPE = 'E' AND RETURN-ID EQ 'RM' AND RETURN-MESSAGE = '149'.
RETURN-ID = 'ZID'.
RETURN-NUMBER = 'XXX' -> Number in Z class.
RETURN-MESSAGE = 'your message'.
ENDIF.

URGENT: how to get the database error message into application?

Hi, pls give some idea:
For example, the database is MS Access. When insertion failed, the getMessage() method of SQLException will print "General error", while the log file created by ODBC will be "[MICROSOFT][ODBC DRIVER]column ID no found in student table"(...just a example).
So, how to get this message in our application?

instead of using the getMessage method, have you tried something like this:
         try {
         } catch (Throwable t1) {
            System.out.println(t1.toString());
         }If that still doesn't work, you can always redirect the log entries into a textarea but then everything that appears in the log file will be redirected!

Interactive Report validation error messages...

Hi guys!
I was looking for answer to this question for a long time now...is it possible to change the validation error messages in interactive report?
With regards,
PsmakR

Hi,
there are more validations than you think. Anthony Rayner has prepared a nice summary in a [url http://anthonyrayner.blogspot.com/2010/08/apex-40-enhancements-validating-form.html]blog post.
You see in that post where and how to disable validations, but also, that you may not disable all of them. The only way to avoid all validations would be to implement the report yourself completely.
The good news is, you can overwrite those messages. The following documentation tells you how to:

Localising Validation Error Messages

Apex 3.1
I'm trying to localise all my validation error messages.
I've created an error message Datevalidation as type pl/sql expression.
When I test the error message I just get DateValidation rather than my translated error message.
How do I specify how to return an error message name which is translatable

Hello Keith,
I’m glad things are working for you, however …
>> I realised that I had to change the validation error message type to function returning error text
That’s a bit puzzling to me as this type of validation – function returning error message – is the least supported option in the APEX translation mechanism. Can you please describe how you translate the error message inside the PL/SQL code?
Thanks,
Arie.

Hi,
You have to use OADailogue region to achieve this. Please follow below code units to create a dialogue page and display an error message.
OADialogPage dialogPage = new OADialogPage(OAException.WARNING, message, null, "", "");
String yes = pageContext.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_T_YES", null);
String no = pageContext.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_T_NO", null);
dialogPage.setOkButtonItemName("DeleteYesButton");
dialogPage.setNoButtonItemName("DeleteNoButton");
dialogPage.setOkButtonToPost(true);
dialogPage.setNoButtonToPost(true);
dialogPage.setRetainAMValue(true);
dialogPage.setPostToCallingPage(true);
dialogPage.setOkButtonLabel(yes);
dialogPage.setNoButtonLabel(no);
java.util.Hashtable formParams = new java.util.Hashtable(1);
formParams.put("foo","value");
dialogPage.setFormParameters(formParams);
pageContext.redirectToDialogPage(dialogPage);

Validation Error Message in OBPM 10GR3 Presentations

Hi all,
I have a presentation which has some fields as REQUIRED Fields... For e.g. the From Date field is required...
I select "YES" for the Required option in the properties tab for that field in the presentation and also put a Validation Error Message which says " From Date Required".
I thought that the Validation Error Message would show up when the date is no selected or filled..
But instead the name of the variable used showed up.. i.e. TestObjectFromDate..
Why is that so?
How can I make the Validation Error Message show up instead?

No this sounds odd, but you might find it's easier not to use the "Required" property for BPM Object presentation text fields.
Try making the Submit button on the form invoke a method (instead of the default "submit" action). In the method, try this:
if someField = null || someField = "" then
    // set the background of the field to red
    setBackgroundColor this
              using componentId = "someFieldName",
                         color = "Red"
    focus("someFieldName")
    setVisible this
      using componentId = "errorTextField",
          visible = true,
          collapsed = false
    someErrorText = "Please enter a value in the field highlighted below"
else
    submit("Submit")
endThis would put your cursor in the offending field and make its background red. It also would make a text field visible on the presentation and set its value.
This assumes that "someErrorText" is a String attribute of your BPM Object that is placed somewhere on the UI.

how can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,…"

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

How to Customize the Error Message when a user enters a wrong password

Hi Gurus
Pls Help out me that
How to Customize the Error Message when a user enters a wrong password ?
I need the Help to Customize the messege ?
How we can do
Pls Tell me indetail

Firstly many appologies I have given you slightly duff information here, I had been editing the file above for email notification texts not logon / password texts.
The file you need is actually a portal .par file and can be found in the deployment/pcd directory. The file you need is called com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par (with a .bak extension at this time).
You need to copy this file to a local machine and unzip the contents. The files you need to edit are contained in a further jar file which can be found in the \PORTAL-INF\lib directory - it is called umelogonbase.jar. It too needs to be extracted and the file you need to edit is logonMessages_xx.properties (where the xx is the language code you are using).
In this file you will find lines like:
NUMERIC_REQUIRED=Invalid new password (must contain digits)
You need to identify which texts you wish to modify and edit the text to the right of the equals sign. Once complete rezip the umelogonbase.jar file and then the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par (this time name it without the .bak extension. Then logon to the portal and upload the new par and you should see your new logon messages.
