What is the field ‘error’ in the table ‘Feeds’ meant for?
The value in this field indicates how many times FeedZcollector has tried to capture a feed without success. When this value reaches 6, FeedZcollector stops trying to grab it. WhenFeedZcollector successfully captures a feed, the value will be (re)set to 0.
Explanation of FeedZcollector error handling
error = 0 means that the most recent grab was successful
error between 1 and 6 means that the grab failed once or more because there was something wrong with the feed or the feed availability. If a grab fails the value of error is increased by 1 and the appropriate error message is stored in the field 'errorMessage'. As soon as a next feed grab is successful again the error field is reset to 0 and the 'errorMessage' field is cleared. After 6 failed grabs the 'error' field is set to 7 and grabbing of this feed is stopped.
