Cosmos Architecture Meeting 13-Dec-07

Notes on Error Discussion

OK... We've opened a bunch of ERs with "Error" type stuff in them. I've tried to compile the complete list below.

• Review of attached code for COSMOS Design 209227 and other errors...

Errors vs. Logging....

There was some discussion/confusion that COSMOS Design 209227 was or was not going to cover our logging strategy. In prep for this discussion, I went back over some of my notes and trolled around on the wiki to try and assemble where I think we are. The net is, we wanted to keep the logging strategy related, but separate from, the error strategy. We established a page to capture our logging requirements COSMOS internal logging use cases. The intent was to use these use cases to open up the necessary ERs.

Looking at this page, we clearly have some work that needs to be done. Given that we are getting to the point where we need to start producing logs, we may want to ensure we get a good cut of this work done in i9.
