Introduction

This chapter contains an explanation of the TTGEN error and status messages. TTGEN groups the problems it detects from a configuration file into four categories:

The sections following this introduction provide lists of errors and other messages which may be produced by TTGEN. The severity code indicates whether that problem is a Disaster (value 3 or above), an Error (value 2), or a Warning (value 1).

When specified, the "%s"(%d) field in the Disasters, Errors, and Warnings indicate the source file name and the line number where the problem occurs. Other instances of %s indicate strings, %d indicate signed integers, and %u indicate unsigned integers, filled in at TTGEN runtime with an appropriate value and printed out with those values.

TTGEN Summary Messages

TTGEN summary messages are displayed after TTGEN is run regardless of TTGEN run options.

Disaster Messages

Disaster messages indicate very serious problems. TTGEN will stop immediately when it is detected. No output file or listing will be produced.

Example:: Problem in opening or reading the source configuration file.

Error Messages

Error messages indicate a critical problem in system configuration or definition. TTGEN detects some problems or inconsistencies with the configuration. By skipping or ignoring some statements, it manages to continue the compilation. But the resulting memory file would be invalid. Hence no output file or listing will be produced.

Example:: Multiple interface cards with the same bus and slot.

Warning Messages

Warning messages indicate minor configuration problems. TTGEN detects some non-critical configuration problems with the configuration file. This may cause unexpected results or unavailable functions during normal runtime operations. However, the system should otherwise operate normally without encountering a fatal error. If only warnings are detected, a ZCOM memory file and listing (if requested) will be produced. After the memory image file has been created, you may use it to initialize and start up the ZCOM runtime subsystem using zmasterd.

Example:: A long system name is specified, causing some trailing characters to be truncated or some ports of an ACC card are not defined.

File Handling Errors

Any file handling errors that occur while running TTGEN are reported by HP-UX. For further explanation of any file handling errors, refer to the Hewlett-Packard HP-UX Reference Manual, under PERROR(3) and ERRNO(3).
