Parameter
is/HTTP/show_detailed_errors
Short text
Form of HTTP error pages (short without any details or long with details)
Parameter Description
This parameter determines the standard form of HTTP error messages that the server (ICM or SAP Web dispatcher) creates and sends to the client.
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 (for example, {00060025}) is displayed. You can use this tag to find the error details in the relevant trace file (dev_icm or dev_webdisp).
For security reasons the details should not passed to the client. We therefore recommend that 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 troubleshooting.

Are other parameters affected or dependent?
ICM, SAP Web Dispatcher:
You can use the parameter icm/HTTP/error_templ_path to define your own error pages. If you configure dynamic error pages, this will override the standard error pages. If you do so, the value of the parameter is/HTTP/show_detailed_errors is irrelevant.
Values allowed
