Making error messages intuitive

Hi,
Is there a way we can make the error messages more intuitive to users? For example, In workforce planning when we have to transfer the employee, if the from and to departments are same, it just shows "Error detected while attempting to run job: Transfer". And when one or more run time prompts are missing, the error is "One or more runtime prompt values are invalid".
I understand the user has to be little aware in selecting. But from IT perspective is there something to do about it like making the message more intuitive or by providing instructions in the run-time prompt window or by any other means?
Regards,
Ragav.

I also tried to execute the code as a separate business rule and this is what I find from the logs.

    iTunes is updated and works fine and I am able to log onto my account. When I go to purchase a song, I get the error message "Your Apple ID has been disabled". I've tried different methods: changing passwords, making a new account with another email address, and emailing itunes tech support. I am curious as to how many others have been experiencing the same issue. When I googled the error, it seemed like it was happening extremely often with many people.
    We all love their products, but they always come with a lot of issues and horrible customer support.
    My apple Id is [email protected]

    My Iphone 4 is telling me the same thing and I believe I figured out what the problem is.  I had some fraudulent charges on my itunes account, so I call my bank and disputed the charges.  Right after I did that, I started getting the message "Your apple ID has been disabled."  I just realized today that the charges are not fraudulent, they are "in app purchases."  One of my daughters downloaded the game Top Girl which is FREE, but in the game Top Girl you use money in the game to purchase things.  It just so happens that the money you use to purchase things is real money MY Money!!!.  My daughter thought she was using play money in the game and had no idea she was using real money.  She spent $106.00 buying stuff.  Now I have to call the bank and tell them to release the hold and pay Itunes.  I'm hoping this solves the problem.  Here is the link to learn how to disable "in app purchase" on your iphone or ipad.

    While making a backup copy in Itunes of my Iphone I receive the following error message: While making a backup copy of this iPhone (-35) an error has occurred.  Do you want to continue with altering this Iphone? When you continue al the material on this Iphone will be lost.
    I reinstalled iTunes but that dit not help. After synching iTunes with my iPhone it also asks to authorize my pc and when i Click on ok, it says it is already authorized.
    Please can somebody help me, so I can make backup.

    It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
    from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • Error message for pdf making overload

    I spent a day or so trying to find why my large, complex doc with lots of raster links make AI CS3 go out to lunch. Then I realized that it simply could not handle the amount of data I had in the file. A simple error message like 'This doc contains is too large to process' would have been very helpful and saved me a lot of time. Now I know it, but I had about 20 force quits for Illustrator before I realized what was going on. This was the case both for the pdf compatible option and for making a pdf.

    Even after launching Reader and accepting the EULA? Most strange.

  • Need help with an error message when making changes to an IMAP account

    I have several IMAP accounts in my Mac Mail. Today when I tried to edit the, "Full Name" associated with the account I got an error message that said:
    Invalid Directory
    The account path /Users/kristen/Library/Mail/[email protected]@host365.ISPhost.com is already being used by the account "Silver"
    Did I somehow corrupt something? I'm not sure why making this small change to the full name would cause such an error. Please help.
    Thanks!!

    stop() forcibly kills a thread. You shouldn't use this method because if the thread is in a critical section of code, you can cause data corruption or deadlock.
    Instead, if you need to stop execution from another thread, invoke the interrupt() method.
    Good luck.

  • Rollover Tool Tips are NOT intuitive for error messages

    Just a note for the Adobe guys here:
    I've run into 2-3 occasions so far this morning that I was stymied by seemingly unresponsive DPS apps/services, only to discover the error message was hidden in a tooltip for the field.
    This happened both on the Folio Producer: Organizer (the very underdocumented Export command), and a couple times in viewer builder when I would bang "next" to no avail, only to finally notice a thin red line around a field.
    Not sure what the logic is for this, but that is not the proper usage of tooltips and is a pretty unfriendly experience for the user. Please, flash a big error popup in my face when there's an issue. I'd appreciate it.

    In the process of making a single folio viewer, you need to use the "export" function in Organizer. I went to do so, but the button was grayed out, and the "Export" command is not documented in either the "iPad publishing companion" or the "Uning Adobe DPS" document. Export is mentioned in the online help, but it never mentions that you have to publish the folio before you can export. It was only during a call to tech support that I happened to hover over the button long enough to see the "You must publish the app" warning in the tooltip.
    I now get it that "publishing" the folio is apparently a needed part of your process, but for a single issue viewer app, it never occurred to me that I needed to "publish" it, since Adobe would not be delivering the content.

  • I can't access my itune account? Error message : your accout is not valid to access US Store. Youvat switch to Philippine Store  before making any purchase.

    Why I can't I access my iTune account on my iPhone 5? This error message appears: Your account is not valid in US Stores. You must switch to Philippine Store before making a purchase.
    I have recently change my address to US where I'm staying and revert back to my old address in the Philippines but I can't still access my account using my iPhone.

    Go to Settings - iTunes&Appstores - Tap your Apple ID - Log out - Log in again - Try again to download/purchase an app.
    Let me know if this doesn't solve the issue

    ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • Help! I am making an iPhoto book and all of a sudden it will not open and I get a huge error message which is supposedly sent to Apple.  How do I access that site????

    Mac osX 10.6.8
    iBook - old version
    can not access Safari - going through Chrome
    All of a sudden my IBook would not open (100 pages and almost finished)
    Error message sent to Apple - how do I access them??????
    Thank you for any help you can give me
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Do you mean, you have been creating a Photo Book in iPhoto? Or an iBook in iBook Author?
    If you are asking about a photo book in iPhoto, what was the last you did in iPhoto, before the crash happened?  Did you add a page with a map?
    Then you may have a problem with a bug, where adding a route to a map may render the book unreadable.  In that case the best option is to restore the iPhoto library from the last backup you made, before you added the map to the book.
    It is not possible to open the book and to delete the unreadable page. You can only delete the book and start over, if this bug is the reason for the crashes. See for example this link:  Getting rid of problem photo book

  • Making apex_util.get_print_document return an error message

    We are using apex_util.get_print_document in a process to run a report something like this:
    declare
       l_report blob := null;
    begin
        l_report := apex_util.get_print_document (
            p_application_id      => :APP_ID,
            p_report_query_name   => 'report_query_name',
            p_report_layout_name  => 'report_layout_name',
            p_report_layout_type  => 'rtf',
            p_document_format     => 'rtf'
       if l_report is not null and dbms_lob.getlength(l_report) > 0 then
          apex_application.g_print_success_message := 'Report Created.<br>';       
          INSERT INTO reports (attachment, date_created, filename, mime_type)
          VALUES (l_report, sysdate, 'report.rtf', 'text/rtf' );       
       else       
          apex_application.g_print_success_message := '<span style="color:#CC0000">There was a problem creating the report.</span><br>';   
       end if; 
    end;And this works well most of the time. The problem is, if the report fails for some reason, apex_util.get_print_document gives no information whatsoever as to what went wrong. Is there any way at all we can find out what the problem was?
