XD* Error Code Discussion

AS of August 2010 the complete list of error codes includes error codes from ITI TF-3: 4.1.13 Table 4.1-11 plus additionals errors added by the Cross-Community Access (XCA) and XDS Metadata Update Supplements. This list shows how Table 4.1-11 would look if all the updates to it were integrated together.

There are several questions regarding the current collection of errors used by XD* transactions:

• Should error codes be prefixed with a profile name (XDS) and what does it mean to have such a prefix, some do and some do not.
• Do we have a good collection of error codes, sufficiently detailed but not too detailed?
• Have we left appropriate space for future profile and CP extensions to the error codes?

During discussion of CP 479 on August 11, 2010 the following thoughts about future direction of the error codes were considered:

• Presenting our error codes as a hierarchical set of codes
• Using a coded terminology for the error codes
