Infopath 2013 generic error message that displays

In an InfoPath 2013 custom form that I created, I have several columns that are required. If the user does not enter all the data that is required, the automatic generic error message is displayed.
I would prefer to make the error message that is more 'user friendly'. Thus can you tell me if there is a way to make the error message more user friendly? If so, would you tell me how to make the message more user friendly?
The generic error message that is automatically displayed is:
'InfoPath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterisk (required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values). use ctl+shift+O to go to the next error. Use ctl+shift+I to view error details'.
Thus can you show me how to make this error message more user friendly in InfoPath 2013?

Hi Wendy,
All the error messages for the InfoPath form errors are stored in the intlcorestrings.js file which is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\INC.
If you want to modify the error messages, then you can modify that file to change the corresponding error message.
Per my knowledge, the error you want to customize is IntlCoreStrings.k_strSubmitBeforeErrors and IntlCoreStrings.k_strSaveSubmitErrorInformation.
You can change the two lines.
Thanks,
Victoria

I cannot sync my iPhone with iTunes for Windows. Even if the computer is authorized, it keeps on displaying an error message that tells that this computer is not authorized. I already tried to do the resolutions you have given in case this situation happens.

It's an endless circle.
See if these instructions help: iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Prevent that error messages are displayed twice

Hi All!
How can I prevent that error messages are displayed twice.
The FuBa is called at the backend more than one time (at least twice)
therefore I get every message twice.

Sas-
I'm not sure if I understood your problem. Are you saying that you have a service which you call in a loop, and display the error message in the loop as well? If so an option would be to have a [HashMap|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html] where the key is the error message id, and the value is the error message. In the loop check if the error message id returned by your service already exists in the map and add it only if absent. Then after your loop is complete use the MessageManager to display your consolidated error messages.

My iCal will not let me add new events since Jan. 1,2013. I get an error message that directs me to the console, whatever this is. Frustrating and confusing!!!

My iCal will not allow me to add any new entries. I get an error message that says I encountered a critical error while saving to data base and directs me to te console whatever this is??? This just started after the first of the year?

My iCal worked fine on my MacBook Pro so I ran Chronosync between my MacBook Pro laptop and iMac, the problem seems to have disappeared. Both computers have a working iCal now and I have my fingers crossed that they will stay so!!!

Strange error message getting displayed

Hi All,
We are facing a strange problem when we type in the following URL http://<host>:<port>/irj/blah.jsp
The error message says that the file blah.jsp does not exist and then gives the complete directory structure for e.g. c:\usr\sap\<instance name>\JC<Instance Number>\.....irj\.....\blah.jsp does not exist.
We want to prevent this directory structure from getting displayed and display a generic error message.
Please let us know how this will be possible.
Regards
Sidharth

Hi,
If you want to display your error message you must add in "apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\web.xml" file the following tags:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/my_error_page.jsp</location>
</error-page>
Now when error code 404 occurs then this my_error_page.jsp will be displayed instead of default error page.
In my_error_page.jsp you may process the errors as you want.

Error message while displaying a Workbook in Portal

Hello,
We have a Workbook with 5 Queries in ech sheet. When we open the Query from Portal it displays the error message that
1. Query was changed! Characterisitc no longer exists
2. Invalid filter on CUST_SD: Filter changed
I opned the Workbook directly from Analyzer and it did not display the error message.
Thus it seems to be a change required in Portal side or may be some property of the Workbook.
Please let me know your opinion to fix the error.
Regards,
Nitin S.

Can you define "sometimes" a bit more?
Is it after a number of runs of a report?
Is it on a particular report?
Is it after you do certain operations on the report (paging, zooming, dill down, print, etc., etc.)?
Can you duplicate the issue if you isolate the report to a new test app?
Did you happen to notice if the issue existed prior to FP 3.5?
Is this on your dev computer or a client computer?
OS?

No error message is displayed while deleting an attendee from a course.

Hi Experts,
Mu customer is facing problem while trying to delete an attendee from a course under Training and event management. The path he is following is right:
1) In PSV1(Dynamic Attendance Menu)the employee is seen firmly booked in
a course.
2)Right-click on his name and select cancel
3)Click the dustbin to remove
But nothing is happening, neither the employee is getting moved from the course nor any error message is displaying giving us any indication of what can go wrong. Can you please suggest what can be the possible problem?
Strangest thing is, this problem is occuring only for one employee.
Thanks and Regards,
Toa

Hi Manoj,
Thanks for your reply.
That is the problem, no error message is showing. When the delete button is pressed, neither the attendee is getting deleted nor any error message is displaying as of why the deletion is not occuring.
FYI: The employee is not locked.
Thanks,
Toa

Can't find printer connected by ethernet through airport extreme. All I get is a generic error message - I'm using printer IP address as address.

Old imac using snow leopard printed just fine to Ricoh cl2000n printer that is connected to airport extreme via ethernet (as was the imac). New iMac with Lion otherwise same cable configuration and the computer cannot find the printer. It searchs and spits out a generic error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is your printer listed?

If not then you need to get the driver and install it.
Otherwise you may want to reset the printing system.

When attempting to play songs on itunes, getting error message that file cannot be found and asked if i want to locate it. not sure where it went. do have new computer and all files were transferred to new machine.

I just tried to play some songs that i have in itunes and i get an error message that says file can't be located. It appears to be on about half the songs of the thousands I have in there. I do have a new computer and transferred the itunes library about a month ago. I have successfully managed ipod on new computer. I wonder if it is a licensing issue but this is just the second computer althought the third hard drive these songs have been on. It is affecting songs loaded from CD's and purchased from itunes on the old computer alike.

Hi angela dfromtx,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. You'll have to locate the file manually if it is still available. For more information refer to the following article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email. I get the error message that adobe could not

I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email. I get an adobe error message that it can not print with an ok to check and when i do I get another adobe error message that says I did not select a page to print. I have downloaded the latest adobe download. I forwarded the email to my husband and he printed the document just fine.

This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

Ps: which jdev version do you use?

"Importer reported a generic error" message while importing ProRes 422 clip

Hi all. I am getting an "Importer reported a generic error" message when I try to import a ProRes 422, linear PCM clip into Premiere Pro CS6. I have imported other ProRes 422 clips in previous projects without a problem, although those clips did not have the linear PCM codec included. I have tried to solve the problem using advice on other forum threads. Changing the file name did not work. Removing underscores in the file name did not work either. Copying the file and pasting to a different folder before re-importing did not work either. The file DOES open in AE, but I am getting the error message without fail when I try to import into Premiere. Any thoughts on how to remedy the situation? FYI - I am still running version 6.0.0 of Premiere. Thanks for your help!

Try going to Help | Deactivate in Pr. Close Pr. Reboot. Launch Pr and activate if requested. That procedure has helped some users restore missing codecs and presets, maybe it'll help your Dynamic Link.

Edit error message as displayed when browsers fail to display dynamic pdfs

I'm sure many people here are aware of the problems that arise when many browsers attempt to open a dynamic writable pdf. The built in plugin that ships with most browsers is unable to display the content, and as a result the following message is shown.
"If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader."
(I trimmed a bit because the message is quite long)
My question is, is there some way to modify the message above by editing the pdf using a program like Adobe Livecycle or Acrobat Pro? The message that displays is basically useless, because the problem is actually due to the browser's inability to display the pdf. If it is possible to replace this message with something more meaningful, such as instructions on downloading the form with right click, that would be fantastic for the users.
Does anyone know where this information is stored? It doesn't seem to be browser specific (as the browsers I've tested seem to display the same message).

I got the error messages to work from properties file and some helper class, but not through just defining in faces-config or web.xml.
I am sure there is a better way to do but hopefully this will help you.
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
In my validation method - I have the following code, which will associate
the appropriate message
String failureMsg = ErrorMessages.getString("SignUpData.NO_USER_NAME");
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,          failureMsg, failureMsg);
context.addMessage("login_form:username", message);
My properties file - errormessage.properties - have the following info
SignUpData.NO_USER_NAME =Please Enter User Name
SignUpData.NO_PASSWORD =Please Enter Password
Helper class - ErrorMessages.java
import java.util.MissingResourceException;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
public class ErrorMessages {
private static final String BUNDLE_NAME = "com.path1.path2.resources.error_messages";
private static final ResourceBundle RESOURCE_BUNDLE = ResourceBundle.getBundle(BUNDLE_NAME);
private ErrorMessages() {
public static String getString(String key) {
try {
return RESOURCE_BUNDLE.getString(key);
} catch (MissingResourceException e) {               return '!' + key + '!';
I am also looking for a way to avoid all this extra helper classes if there is a better alternative.
thanks

Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?
This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
Good luck,
Hunt
