Generating a custom message
The DevOps Plan application allows hooks to present error,
warning, and information alert messages to users by embedding the alert message parameters within a
normal hook error message. However, because the DevOps
Plan application, user-written scripts, and older
applications might not recognize the alert message parameters, this capability should be accessed
through the global hook below, after adding it to your schema. If the application does not support
custom messages, the hook uses the message parameters in a normal die statement. If the application
does support custom messages, the hook uses the DieWithCustomMessage function.
The DieWithCustomMessage function
below can be called from all places where a die statement
can be used, and it will have the same effect as a die statement
on the current operation. For example, calling the DieWithCustomMessage function
from an access control hook would indicate failure in exactly the
same way a die statement would indicate failure,
but with a custom message.
Examples
Perl
sub Defect_generate_error_message {
my($result);
my($param) = @_;
# record type name is Defect
$error_summary="ReturnCustomErrorMessage";
$error_details="Error message: Clicking this button will activate a computer virus!";
# $result=&DieWithCustomMessage($error_summary,$error_details,"ERROR");
DieWithCustomMessage("ERROR",$error_summary, $error_details);
return $result;
}
sub Defect_generate_warning_message {
my($result);
my($param) = @_;
# record type name is Defect
$error_summary="ReturnCustomWarningMessage";
$error_details="Warning message: Do not smoke at the work place!";
DieWithCustomMessage("WARNING",$error_summary, $error_details);
return $result;
}
sub Defect_generate_info_message {
my($result);
my($param) = @_;
# record type name is Defect
$error_summary="ReturnCustomInfoMessage";
$error_details="Information message: Welcome to Beijing!";
DieWithCustomMessage("INFO",$error_summary, $error_details);
return $result;
}
