Handling connection errors with a stateless server

Most probably the answer to my question is in the documentation, but I have not found.

As all communication is stateless I have to worry about dealing with possible connection problems at all locations that the framework will call the server, right?

For example, I have a code responsible for making a change to a table (in client).

  if Client.Update(People) then
    ShowMessage('Yeah')
  else
    ShowMessage('Ouch. Something very bad happened. But what really happened?')

The update method returns a boolean telling me if it worked. How do I know what went wrong in case I receive a false response?

Is there any method for me to test if the communication with the server is running?

Re: Handling connection errors with a stateless server

Error handling is to be improved.

There is an item on the Roadmap:

Refactor the Client-Server error process, with better transmission of the error raised on server side to identify the cause of a failure on client side;
