Documentation again! Error codes. Anybody? 2111

hi,

so, have server-side script error indesign 2111 resolve... can't find _anywhere_ lists indesign error codes or meanings.

 

i _certain_ there useful document out there somewhere, opaque google...

 

please can point me in right direction?

 

thanks,

for further analysis, write properties of error object log file / estk console / whatever.

e.g.

try { ...} catch( ex ) { for( n in ex ) $.writeln(n,"=",ex[n] ); }

 

could error os or other subsystem (database, other connectivity) ?

 

assuming indesign error id, allocated in id space of plugins. same plugin should provide matching string , may fill in placeholders in string - delivered in alert or 1 of properties of exception. that's theory.

 

if have plugin sdk, you'd search 63th error in header file prefix 8, because 8*256+63=2111. file layoutid.h . unfortunately file not provide error id @ all, , when force error myself there no string provided. did not try indesign server, though.

 

another place server's system output, separate script accessible areas. ask admins watch out system log entries, and/or configure server startup stderr output ends in file. on osx refer the man page launchd, standarderrorpath.

 

if you're lucky , have deployed on mac, make familiar dtrace or instruments application. there can watch out system calls produce error code, search 2111 , try make sense stack frames. on windows, sysinternals program may have similar tools.
