The error dialog

• RivEX reports all errors in a custom dialog box. An example is shown below.

• There are 3 levels of severity that are reported as indicated by the dialog's icon:

• System - An error outside the control of RivEX has occurred, for example a missing file.
• Critical - An error occurred within RivEX which is stopping execution.
• Warning - A non-fatal error or simply a warning informing you of some situation.

• Each error box has the following information:

• Unique error number
• Error log indicator
• Online manual link indicator
• Message title
• Error description

• If the error generates an error log file (not all errors do this) the indicator will be YES and a text file is created listing the status of certain variables when the error occurred. This is always stored in C:\RivEX\Output.

• If the online manual link is YES then you can click on this to be transferred to the manual which will contain information and advice about the error.

• The error messages are stored in an external file (ErrorDB.xml) which must be kept in the same folder as the RivEX MXD.
