Important Notes About Identity Manager Messages

Be sure to read the following information before you start working with Identity Manager error and exception messages:

• Examples in this chapter use a locale (xx_XX locale) that was devised for example purposes only.

• When you interpret error messages, be aware of the following:

  • Some messages have different keys but display the same error message text.

  • Some messages are used by multiple components.

  • Exceptions are generally listed by exception type, component, or both.

  • Some exceptions are caused by internal programming errors that cannot be viewed by Identity Manager users.

  • Some exceptions are simple wrappers and their parameters are the entire exception. For example, Identity Manager exceptions wrap resource messages, adapter code, and multipart exceptions, such as password policy violations.

• If you are using parameterized messages with single or double quotes in the message, you must use an additional single or double quote to escape the message. (You will see only one quote symbol when the message is output to the system.)

  For example, the following message begins and ends with two single quote marks:

  ”’0}’’
