IFX XML Status Information and Error Codes

Status information is information about the current status of a message. It appears only in response documents. It can appear in a response header or in any element of a response body.

The external server inserts status information after processing the document. If the processing is satisfactory, status information may or may not be inserted. If there is a problem in the processing, the status information identifies the problem.

A status code of zero means the status is satisfactory. If any other number appears, it is an error code or warning, and the message is flagged. The error code can be used in troubleshooting.

Status information in the header applies to the entire IFX XML document. Status information in a service applies to that service. Status information in a message applies to that message. The following example shows status information in a header.

<Status>
   <StatusCode>100</StatusCode>
   <Severity>Error</Severity>
   <StatusDesc>General Error</StatusDesc>
</Status>

For details of status codes, see the IFX XML specification, which provides a description of all error codes.
