value.error.warnings[].issues[].file | string | The name of the file in which the parse issue was found.
value.error.warnings[].issues[].line_number | long | The line number of the line in the file (see vcenter.ovf.parse_issue.file) where the parse issue was found (or -1 if not applicable).
value.error.warnings[].issues[].column_number | long | The position in the line (see vcenter.ovf.parse_issue.line_number) (or -1 if not applicable).
value.error.warnings[].issues[].message | localizable_message | A localizable message describing the parse issue.
value.error.warnings[].issues[].message.id | string | Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template. This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.
value.error.warnings[].issues[].message.default_message | string | The value of this localizable string or message template in the `en_US` (English) locale. If vapi.std.localizable_message.id refers to a message template, the default message will contain the substituted arguments. This value can be used by clients that do not need to display strings and messages in the native language of the user. It could also be used as a fallback if a client is unable to access the appropriate message catalog.
value.error.warnings[].issues[].message.args | string[] | Arguments to be substituted into a message template.
value.error.warnings[].name | string | The name of input parameter. Optional. It is only relevant when category has value INPUT. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of `category` is INPUT.
value.error.warnings[].value | string | The value of input parameter. Optional. It is only relevant when category has value INPUT. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of `category` is INPUT.
value.error.warnings[].message | localizable_message | A localizable message. Optional. It is only relevant when category has value INPUT. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of `category` is INPUT.
value.error.warnings[].message.id | string | Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template. This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.
value.error.warnings[].message.default_message | string | The value of this localizable string or message template in the `en_US` (English) locale. If vapi.std.localizable_message.id refers to a message template, the default message will contain the substituted arguments.

value.error.warnings[].error | object | Represents a server vapi.std.errors.error. Optional. It is only relevant when category has value SERVER. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of `category` is SERVER.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must contain all the attributes defined in vapi.std.errors.error. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will contain all the attributes defined in vapi.std.errors.error.
value.error.information | ovf_info[] | Information messages reported by the `create` or `deploy` operation. For example, a non-required parameter was ignored.
value.error.information[].messages | localizable_message[] | A array of localizable messages (see vapi.std.localizable_message).
value.error.information[].messages[].id | string | Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template. This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.
value.error.information[].messages[].default_message | string | The value of this localizable string or message template in the `en_US` (English) locale. If vapi.std.localizable_message.id refers to a message template, the default message will contain the substituted arguments.
