is/HTTP/show_detailed_errors
This parameter determines the standard form of HTTP error messages that the server (ICM or SAP Web dispatcher) creates and sends to the client.
You can set whether the error page is sent to the client with or without details.

Value Range and Syntax
The parameter can have the values TRUE or FALSE. The default value is FALSE.
The parameter affects the contents of the error pages of the ICM or SAP Web dispatcher, as follows:
TRUE: The error page contains details about the cause of the error (name of the application server, date, module, line, component, description of error).
FALSE: The error page does not contain details about the cause of the error. With some errors an error tag (e.g. {00060025}) is issued, which you can use to find the error details in the trace file (dev_icm or dev_webdisp).
SAP Recommendation
For security reasons the details should not passed to the client. SAP recommends that you do not change the value of the default setting (is/HTTP/show_detailed_errors = FALSE), unless you want to use the detailed information for error analysis and it is not critical for security.
If you configure dynamic error pages, this will override the standard error pages. In that case the value of this parameter is irrelevant.
