Abstract

Techniques for error handling are described for errors detected by a computer application that receives and processes application transaction data generated by a different computer application. A determination is made as to whether an error can be corrected through the use of the receiving computer application. If not, an indication of the error is sent to the computer application that generated the application transaction data so that the error may be corrected using that computer application. If the error can be corrected by using the receiving computer application, an error correction component stores information so that the error can be corrected through the use of the receiving computer application.
