Issue an appropriate message instead of a dump in case of 00E20015 occurrence

A clear DSN... message indicating the problem ASCB is more helpful than a dump. The asid (in R2) could be already another ASCB, so this is ambiguous. The dump could be supressed in my opinion. We have such a lot of cases in which we are forced to ...

It reduces operational risk, accelerates delivery, and aligns with modern DevOps practices.

Large enterprise clients like AT&T, who manage complex data pipelines across hybrid environments, will benefit from streamlined CI/CD processes, improved security, and consistent governance across services. How should it work? GitHub Integra...
