(DTSERR)

This chapter contains validation and Datacomm Configurator (DCC) error messages. Validation errors indicate problems with the network management configuration file. They are detected during network management configuration file validation. DCC errors indicate problems with the link or the DTS manager. They are detected when the host is rebooted.

Validation Error Messages

The network management configuration file must be validated before it can be processed by SYSGEN. The validation procedure is invoked in NMMGR by requesting it on the VALIDATE CONFIGURATION FILE screen. Error messages will be displayed on the system console. Additionally, error messages can be directed to a printer. The DTS validation procedure starts by displaying the following on the system console:

197 - Validation of DTS/LINK started. -

Errors are then listed to the console. When the validation procedure is complete, it will print the following on the system console:

nnn Encountered Errors

NOTE: After successful validation, run SYSGEN to cross-validate the DTS configuration with the System configuration.

197 - Validation of DTS/LINK finished. -

where nnn is the total number of errors found during validation. Following is a numerical list of validation error messages and actions for each.

1
MESSAGE

Path: NMMGRpath.

A read error encountered while reading the data record (bad file). (DTSERR=1)

CAUSE

Either a hardware problem occurred or the data record is too long.

ACTION

Try to print the network management configuration file. Rebuild the file from a copy of the sample file NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS. If the problem persists, contact your Hewlett-Packard support representative.

2
MESSAGE

Path: NMMGRpath.

A write error encountered while updating the data record (bad file). (DTSERR=2)

CAUSE

Either a hardware problem occurred or the data record file is too small.

ACTION

If the data record file has been compressed, it is impossible to validate the file. Go to the UTILITY screen and use the compression utility to make the file larger. Try to validate the file. If it still fails, build the file from a copy of the sample file NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS. If the problem persists when verifying the new file, contact your Hewlett-Packard support representative.

3
MESSAGE

Path: NMMGRpath

The data record is empty (use Update Data function key). (DTSERR=3)

CAUSE

The data record was not created for the NMMGRpath.

ACTION

Go back to the screen specified by the NMMGRpath, update the screen, and press Update Data.

4

6
MESSAGE

Path: NMMGRpath

LINK.linkname is not defined. (DTSERR=6)

CAUSE

The link name specified on the DTS DATACOMM & TERMINAL CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION screen is not defined; therefore, the link data record was not created.

ACTION

Verify the link name on the DTS DATACOMM & TERMINAL CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION screen. Check that the link name exists on the LINK SELECTION screen and if it does, check that the link data record was created. If the link data record does not exist, update the LINK SELECTION screen and press Update Data.
