Abstract

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes outputting, from a requester system to a server system, a request signature. The request signature requests at least one parameter of a function specified in the request signature. The method further includes receiving a first response signature from the server system and identifying within the first response signature a parameter. The specified function is applied to the identified parameter for determining whether the parameter is valid. In response to a determination that the identified parameter of the first response signature is invalid, a location and/or an identity of the identified parameter is marked in a copy of the first response signature. The method further includes using a functional topology of the requester system to trace the identified parameter determined to be invalid to a valid parameter, and outputting a second response signature that includes the marked-up copy of the first response signature.
