Error management

Additional information about raised conditions may be detected using EIBRESP2. Please consider that, in case of LDAP based security, XCICS/TS may return detailed information about the error only if the configured LDAP APIs return detailed information. Currently only Oracle LDAP APIs are known to be limited, therefore not all diagnostic information may be retrieved through them.
