Webservice : Severity code

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have a small doubt in relation to severity code for a webservice .

Severity 1 : success

Severity 2 : Warning.

Severity 3: Error.

The above severity codes explains the respective execution status of a web service.

I have a small doubt , when a particular feature is not supported by a system or not expected to be supported by system , what should be the severity of that service.

For eg : A user tries to create a purchase order or a personnel number in a system which doesnt support those operations .

In such cases what should be the response from the service to the end user . Is it meaningful to throw a warning or Error?

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

Generally a warning is displayed just as a precautionary measure, and continuation is allowed, in this case if the end user is not allowed to create a PO for example, then I would think an error would be the better option.

Usually webservice consist of bapi or RFC . these have return table that comprise these kind of exceptions.

These doesn't show to user. my suggestion will be send error to the user
