If a Lotus Notes Adapter object (for example, a connection or service) encounters an error with the Domino Server, it will throw an adapter error coupled with the Lotus Notes error, exactly as it was thrown by Lotus Notes. The Lotus Notes errors will be in an IData format.

For example, if a getDbdirectory service fails on the Domino Server at run time because its input fields contain invalid key values, you will receive an adapter error that indicates that the getDbdirectory service failed, and the adapter error will contain the specific error generated on the Domino Server indicating why the service failed. In this case, you would receive a Lotus Notes error specifying that the input key field values are invalid.
