DLM Excel add-in: Improve the user message for errors from external source server
As Karine,
I want that instead of the current too technical The remote server returned an error: (504) Gateway Timeout.
error message the DLM Excel add-in returns the following message: The external source '{data source label}' returned the error '{error message}' for the following query: {data source query} Try again later or contact the owner of this service.
So that the user can understand that the issue comes from the external resource and can check manually the status of web services in a browser session.
Example
Show:
The external source 'Eurostat' returned the error '(504) Gateway Timeout.' for the following query: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/SDMX/diss-web/rest/datastructure/all/all/all Try again later or contact the owner of this service.
