At present for most of the errors faced in RICT-CBS application a common error message “Transaction not processed due to network issues. Please try again” is displayed. In the new version 2.0.1, error codes are categorised and configured, so that indicative error messages are displayed to help field user/ support personnel to identify the impacted layer for early resolution of issues. List of few common errors configured for the impacted layer are listed below which would enable DO/Sys admin/PO users to raise ticket with the concerned team. No changes have been made in the existing application functionalities and in the Transaction Update functionality If any of the newly configured error messages are seen during a transaction, users can check transaction status in Transaction Update functionality and decide on further action.
