doc text looks good.

Comment 4 Sahina Bose 2016-02-25 03:35:06 EST

Since there's a limitation in returning the device list in case of device errors, the least we can do is to inform the user that there is a problem.

This bug can be modified to do that.  What do you think?

Comment 5 RamaKasturi 2016-02-25 04:59:13 EST

yes, it would be good to inform the user when there is a problem.

Comment 6 Sahina Bose 2016-04-27 02:28:40 EDT

Ramesh, are we handling exception and informing user of error currently?

Comment 7 Sahina Bose 2018-01-29 10:10:51 EST
