Configuring GLA Exceptions

Use this task to configure exceptions for GLA. Exceptions direct the actions that are taken when specific requests cannot be processed correctly by the system.

The steps below apply to any exception code listed on the GLA Exceptions page. All individual exception codes can be updated independently using these steps.

1. Click GLA > Configuration > Exceptions.

   The fields are described in Configure GLA Exceptions elements.

2. Select an Action from the available options. Valid options are:
   • Discard - the request is discarded and no answer is sent.
   • Answer with Result Code - an answer message with the Result Code AVP is sent to the request originator.
   • Answer with Experimental Result Code - an answer message with an Experimental Result Code AVP is sent to the request originator.
3. Enter a Result Code or select one from the listing. If Discard is selected for the Action, this field is grayed out. If the Action is other than Discard, the result code is sent with the exception answer.
4. Enter a Vendor ID. This field is activated only if you selected Answer with Experimental Result Code for the Action. This value is sent with the experimental/result pairing.
5. Enter an Error String to be appended to the error/message pairing sent with the answer message.
6. Click Apply or Cancel.
   If Apply is clicked and any of the following conditions exist, an error message appears:

   • Any fields contain a value that contains invalid characters or is out of the allowed range.
   • Any required field is empty (not entered).
   • A Result Code value is not set when Answer With Result Code or Answer With Experimental Result Code is selected.
   • An Vendor ID value is not set when Answer With Experimental Result Code is selected.
