public class ErrorDescription

extends java.lang.Object

implements HasLocalizedMessage, java.io.Serializable

A description of an error that caused an OLAP API method to throw an exception that is related to execution in Oracle OLAP. Such an exception can be associated with several ErrorDescription objects, because the problem might have triggered several related errors. The ErrorStack associated with the exception records all of the related errors. To obtain all of the ErrorDescription objects for a particular Oracle OLAP related exception, call its getErrorStack method, and then call getErrorDescriptions on the ErrorStack.

The description of a particular error is provided through the method calls on its ErrorDescription. For example, the getErrorType method returns one of two types of errors, and the getDomain method reports the area of Oracle OLAP functionality (called the domain) within which the error occurred.

In general, the descriptive information that is provided by an ErrorDescription is useful only to Oracle staff who are debugging an internal problem. It is not meaningful to application developers.
