Abstract

See full text

A computer system and a computer-implemented method are described which may be used in a distributed client/server computing environment to convert an exception identifier received by a host computing system from a remote device to a more readable message string that corresponds to the exception identifier. The exception identifier is arranged to uniquely identify the exception. Initially, the exception identifier is used to help identify an exception tag that includes a domain name and a message identifier. The message string that corresponds to the exception identifier is then found based at least in part upon the domain name and the message identifier. More specifically, the domain name is used to identify an exception message file that corresponds to the remotely located device. The message identifier is then used to locate a message string within the exception message file that corresponds to the exception indicated by the exception identifier. The message string typically provides a textual explanation of the exception written in a base language.
