ERR (Error) Fields

The ERR event is triggered when a data transfer fails in the context of dissemination, providing detailed information about the failed operation. It records metadata about the transfer, including file details, network parameters, and user information, along with an error message describing the issue. This helps diagnose and troubleshoot dissemination failures within OpenECPDS.

Example
