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. For this reason SAP recommends you set the parameter to FALSE.

If the details are not critical to security, you can set the value to TRUE. The details can be useful for analyzing errors.

Integration

If you configure dynamic error pages this will override the standard error pages. In that case the value of this parameter is irrelevant.
