4.4 Generic Error Reporting Example with Request for Error Report Level 2 Data (Level 2 of the Protocol Is Executed)
An error, for example, an installation failure, occurs.
The system creates an error report.
The CER client checks whether a destination server has been configured. The following value is set: testserver.corp.xyz.com.
The CER client creates the error report level 1 data in Unicode.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> <WERREPORT xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <MACHINEINFO machinename="client-machine.corp.cliendomain.com" os="6.1.6561.2.0.0.256.1" lcid="1033"/> <USERINFO username="Username"/> <APPLICATIONINFO appname="Test" apppath="E:\tools\wersample.exe" appcompany="Test Corporation"/> <EVENTINFO reporttype="1" eventtime="128497001160460289" eventtype="MikeTest" friendlyeventname="MikeTest"/> <SIGNATURE> <PARAMETER id="0" name="Problem Signature 01" value="1000"/> <PARAMETER id="1" name="Problem Signature 02" value="2000"/> <PARAMETER id="2" name="Problem Signature 03" value="3000"/> </SIGNATURE> </WERREPORT>
The CER client constructs the level 1 destination URL with the host as testserver.corp.xyz.com and the URL path as "/stage2.htm", and does an HTTP POST of the error report level 1 data.
The server returns an HTTP code of 200 with the following ANSI text in the body:

The CER client creates a cab file with the error reporting data.
The CER client constructs the level 2 destination URL with the host as testserver.corp.xyz.com and the URL path as DumpFile=\PersistedCabs\Generic\MikeTest\1000\2000\3000\41ed848b-30fe-4db5-92e9-7745d2ceb2b8, and uploads the cab data by using an HTTP PUT.
