Hi @AndreasFagschlunger

I am trying to get hardware error details from description of results in WFS_SYSE_HARDWARE_ERROR for a device.

typedef struct _wfs_hwerror {
   LPSTR lpszLogicalName;
   LPSTR lpszPhysicalName;
   LPSTR lpszWorkstationName;
   LPSTR lpszAppID;
   DWORD dwAction;
   DWORD dwSize;
   LPBYTE lpbDescription;
} WFSHWERROR, *LPWFSHWERROR;

I want to know what information would be available in lpbDescription and how to interpret it.

Currently I got the below information from this how do I know the problem

{
        "dwAction": 16,
        "lpszAppID": "",
        "lpbDescription": 83,
        "lpszLogicalName": "IDC",
        "lpszPhysicalName": "XFS IDC Service Provider",
        "dwSize": 141,
        "lpszWorkstationName": "9M1EB5IPMQV"
 }

Hi @sundarsabapathi

The content of "lpbDescription" is not part of XFS specification, so it depends on the service provider which information is provided and how it can be interpreted.

If the "lpbDescription" doesn't contain useful information, I suggest you check the logs of the service provider, maybe even the Windows Event log.

Thanks @AndreasFagschlunger. I check the logs of the service provider.
