Using the HP 3000 Workload Manager

Appendix B  Error Messages 

This appendix describes error messages returned by the Command
Interpreter (CI) that relate to workgroups and using the Workload
Manager.  For each message, you will see the cause or probable cause and
one or more suggestions to remedy the error.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 11506        MESSAGE    SHOWPROC format must be SUMMARY or DETAIL. (CIWARN 11506)

            CAUSE      You entered a format name other than the two supported by the
                       SHOWPROC command, SUMMARY or DETAIL. Or, you misspelled one of
                       the two format names.

            ACTION     Reenter the command and specify either SUMMARY or DETAIL as the
                       format name.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12201        MESSAGE    Workgroup name already exists. (CIERR 12201)

            CAUSE      The name that you specified for the new workgroup already
                       exists.

            ACTION     Use the SHOWWG command to determine whether or not a workgroup
                       by that name exists.  If not, check the spelling of the
                       workgroup name and reenter the command.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12202        MESSAGE    Workgroup does not exist. (CIERR 12202)

            CAUSE      There is no workgroup whose name matches the name that you
                       specified.

            ACTION     Use the SHOWWG command to determine whether or not a workgroup
                       by that name exists.  If not, check the spelling of the name
                       that you specified and reenter the command.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12203        MESSAGE    Cannot delete a system-defined workgroup. (CIERR 12203)

            CAUSE      You attempted to delete one of the following workgroups, which
                       are defined by the system and cannot be purged:  AS_Default,
                       BS_Default, CS_Default, DS_Default, and ES_Default.

            ACTION     If you are using the Workload Manager, reenter the command and
                       specify the name of the user-defined workgroup that you want to
                       delete.  If you are not using the Workload Manager, you will
                       always see this error message when you issue the PURGEWG
                       command since you cannot create user-defined workgroups.

                       Regardless of whether or not you are using the Workload
                       Manager, you cannot create or delete the system-defined
                       workgroups.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12204        MESSAGE    LIMIT priority cannot exceed BASE. (CIERR 12204)

            CAUSE      The value that you specified for the limit priority exceeds the
                       value of the base priority.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to supply a value for limit that is less
                       than or equal to the value for base.  If you do not know the
                       current value for base, use the SHOWWG command to display that
                       information.  Remember that the value of limit must be between
                       150 and 255, inclusive.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12205        MESSAGE    MINQUANT and MAXQUANT values must be between 1 and 32767,
                       inclusive. (CIERR 12205)

            CAUSE      The value that you specified for the minimum quantum or the
                       maximum quantum is not within the allowable limits of 1 and
                       32767, inclusive.

            ACTION     Reenter the command, specifying a value between 1 and 32767
                       inclusive.  Remember that the minimum quantum value must be
                       less than or equal to the maximum quantum.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12206        MESSAGE    MINQUANT value cannot exceed MAXQUANT. (CIERR 12206)

            CAUSE      The value that you supplied for the minimum quantum exceeds the
                       value of the maximum quantum.

            ACTION     Reenter the command supplying a minimum quantum value that is
                       less than or equal to the maximum quantum.  If you do not know
                       the current value of maxquant, use the SHOWWG command to
                       display that information.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 CIERR 12207  MESSAGE    TIMESLICE value must be a multiple of 100 and within the
                       range 100 and 32700, inclusive. (CIERR 12207)

            CAUSE      The value that you specified for the timeslice is either not a
                       multiple of 100 or it is not within the range of 100 and 32700,
                       inclusive.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to specify a timeslice value that is a
                       multiple of 100 (i.e.  200, 300, 400,...15100, 31900).  The
                       smallest acceptable value is 100 and the largest acceptable
                       value is 32700.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 CIERR 12208  MESSAGE    Total minimum CPU percentages for all user-defined workgroups
                       cannot exceed 99. (CIERR 12208)

            CAUSE      The total of all the minimum CPU percentages specified for all
                       the user-defined workgroups exceeds 99.

            ACTION     Calculate the sum of CPU percentages for all existing
                       user-defined workgroups and subtract the amount from 99.
                       Reenter the command specifying a minimum CPU percentage that is
                       equal to or less than this amount.  If the sum of the minimum
                       CPU percentages of the existing workgroups is already equal 99,
                       you cannot specify a minimum CPU percentage for the workgroup
                       that you are trying to create.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 CIERR 12209  MESSAGE    MAXCPUPCT value must be within 0 and 100, inclusive.  (CIERR
                       12209)

            CAUSE      The value that you specified for maximum CPU percentage is
                       either less than zero, or it is greater than 100.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to specify a valid percentage value.  Make
                       sure that maxcpupct is not less than mincpupct.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 CIERR 12210  MESSAGE     MINCPUPCT value must be within 0 and 99, inclusive.  (CIERR
                       12210)

            CAUSE      The value that you specified for minimum CPU percentage is
                       either less than zero, or it is greater than 99.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to specify a valid percentage value.  Make
                       sure that mincpupct does not exceed maxcpupct, and that the sum
                       of all minimum CPU percentages is less than 100.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 CIERR 12211  MESSAGE    MINCPUPCT value cannot exceed MAXCPUPCT. (CIERR 12211)

            CAUSE      The value that you specified for the minimum CPU percentage is
                       greater than the maximum CPU percentage.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to specify a minimum CPU percentage that is
                       less than or equal to the maximum.  If you do not know the
                       current value of maxcpu, use the SHOWWG command to display that
                       information.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12212        MESSAGE    Workgroup name must start with a letter or underscore and can
                       contain 255 alphanumeric and underscore characters. (CIERR
                       12212)

            CAUSE      You entered a workgroup name that is longer than 255 characters
                       or you entered an invalid first character.

            ACTION     Make sure that the first character of the name is either a
                       letter or an underscore; numbers and special characters are not
                       permitted.  Also, check the length of the workgroup name to
                       ensure that it is less than or equal to 255 characters.  (The
                       name may have unprintable characters that are not visible on
                       the screen but are included in and contribute to the length of
                       the input.  They are saved as part of the command in the CI
                       history stack; use the DO or REDO commands to check.)  Once you
                       have determined the cause of the problem, reenter the command
                       to specify the corrected workgroup name.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12213        MESSAGE    Invalid character in workgroup name. (CIERR 12213)

            CAUSE      You entered a workgroup name that begins with a character other
                       than the normal alphabet letters or underscore (_), or one that
                       contains a character other than a number, letter, or the
                       underscore.

            ACTION     Check the name for illegal or unprintable characters.
                       (Unprintable characters are control characters that are not
                       visible on the screen but are included in the input.  They are
                       saved as part of the command in the CI history stack use the DO
                       or REDO commands to check.)  Once you have determined the cause
                       of the problem, reenter the command to specify the corrected
                       workgroup name.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12214        MESSAGE    SHOWWG format must be 0, 1, 2, 3, or format name. Defaulting
                       to format SUMMARY (0). (CIWARN 12214)

            CAUSE      You entered a format number that is not between 0 and 3
                       inclusively.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to specify one of 0, 1, 2, 3.  Or, reenter
                       the command to specify one of the following format names:
                       SUMMARY, WGFILE, PROCS, or DETAIL.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12215        MESSAGE    NOTRUNC option is ignored for WGFILE format. (CIWARN 12215)

            CAUSE      You attempted to display workgroup information in the WGFILE
                       (1) format and specified the NOTRUNC option.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to omit the NOTRUNC option.  Or, choose
                       either the PROCS or DETAIL format to display workgroup
                       information without truncation and specify the NOTRUNC option.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12217        MESSAGE    VALIDATE option is ignored when not specified in conjunction
                       with an indirect file name. (CIWARN 12217)

            CAUSE      You specified the VALIDATE option on the command line to create
                       or change a single workgroup.  Or, you did not enter the caret
                       (^) preceding the indirect file name and the CI interpreted it
                       as a workgroup name, thereby disallowing the VALIDATE option.

            ACTION     Enter the command again, making sure that a caret (^)
                       immediately precedes the indirect file name.  (If you do not
                       specify this character, the file name will be treated as a
                       workgroup name.)

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12218        MESSAGE    Only VALIDATE option is allowed with indirect file. Other
                       parameters are ignored. (CIWARN 12218)

            CAUSE      You specified the name of an indirect file on the command line
                       but supplied options other than VALIDATE. Or, you preceded the
                       workgroup name with the caret (^), and the CI interpreted it as
                       the name of an indirect file.

            ACTION     Check the command line to ensure that you did not inadvertently
                       enter a caret (^) with the workgroup name.  Or, if you meant to
                       supply the name of an indirect file, reenter the command and
                       only specify the VALIDATE option with that name.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12219        MESSAGE    At least one membership criterion is required. (CIERR 12219)

            CAUSE      You attempted to create a workgroup but did not specify a
                       membership criterion.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to supply at least one of the following
                       membership criteria:  MEMB_LOGON, MEMB_PROGRAM, or MEMB_QUEUE.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12220        MESSAGE    POSITION parameter is not allowed within an indirect file.
                       (CIERR 12220)

            CAUSE      One or more of the workgroup specifications in the indirect
                       file that you supplied to the NEWWG command contain the
                       POSITION parameter.

            ACTION     Edit the indirect file to remove all the POSITION parameter
                       specifications from the workgroup specifications.  Then,
                       reenter the NEWWG command.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12221        MESSAGE    VALIDATE option is not allowed within an indirect file.
                       (CIERR 12221)

            CAUSE      One or more of the workgroup specifications in the indirect
                       file that you supplied to the NEWWG command contain the
                       VALIDATE option.

            ACTION     Edit the indirect file to remove all of the VALIDATE option
                       entries from the workgroup specifications.  Then, reenter the
                       NEWWG command.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12222        MESSAGE    The indirect file may not contain references to itself or to
                       another indirect file. (CIERR 12222)

            CAUSE      One or more of the workgroup specifications in the indirect
                       file that you supplied to the NEWWG command contains a name
                       that the CI is interpreting as indirect file instead of a
                       workgroup.

            ACTION     Edit the indirect file to remove all caret (^) characters that
                       might cause a workgroup name to be interpreted as an indirect
                       file name.  Then, reenter the NEWWG command.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12223        MESSAGE    BASE and LIMIT priorities must be specified. (CIERR 12223)

            CAUSE      A workgroup specification in the indirect file does not include
                       values for the base priority or the limit priority, which are
                       required.

            ACTION     Edit the indirect file to add a value for base and a value for
                       limit to the workgroup specification whose name appears in the
                       text of the error message.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12224        MESSAGE    MPE/iX names must be fully qualified, and HFS names must be
                       absolute paths. (CIERR 12224)

            CAUSE      When specifying the MEMB_PROGRAM values, you did not fully
                       qualify an MPE/iX file name or you did not enter an absolute
                       path for an HFS name.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to ensure that the MPE/iX file names
                       contain both the group and account components, and that HFS
                       names begin with a / (denoting an absolute path.)  Remember
                       that HFS paths which reference MPE/iX file names must be in all
                       capital letters (e.g.  /SYS/PUB/CI).

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12225        MESSAGE    No workgroup names matched the pattern "!". (CIWARN 12225)

            CAUSE      None of the existing workgroup names match the pattern that you
                       specified.

            ACTION     Check the order of the wildcards in the pattern to ensure that
                       it indicates what you intended and then reenter the command to
                       specify the correct wildcards.  Remember that "#" means one
                       numeric character, "?" means one alphanumeric character, and
                       "@" means one or more alphanumeric characters.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 CIERR 12226  MESSAGE    PRI and WG parameters may not be specified together.  (CIERR
                       12226)

            CAUSE      You specified both PRI and WG parameters, and the ALTPROC
                       command can accept only one of them.

            ACTION     Choose which parameter you want to use and reenter the command
                       to specify only that one.  Use the WG parameter to explicitly
                       place a process in a workgroup (where it becomes an artificial 
                       member) or to return a process to its natural workgroup.  Use
                       the PRI parameter to alter the priority of a process.

                       Note:  Workload Manager users should avoid using the PRI
                       parameter, and use WG instead.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12227        MESSAGE    WG parameter requires SM capability. (CIERR 12227)

            CAUSE      You cannot use the WG parameter to change the workgroup of the
                       specified process because you have not been assigned system
                       manager (SM) capability.

            ACTION     Consult your system manager or system administrator.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12228        MESSAGE    Command does not allow wildcards in workgroup name.  (CIERR
                       12228)

            CAUSE      You entered wildcard characters in the workgroup name specified
                       with the NEWWG or ALTWG commands, or with the WG= parameter of
                       ALTPROC command.

            ACTION     Remove any wildcards from the workgroup name and reenter the
                       command.

 12229        MESSAGE    POSITION parameter does not specify a valid workgroup name.
                       (CIERR 12229)

            CAUSE      The workgroup name that is specified in the POSITION parameter
                       does not exist, or it is one of the following system-defined
                       workgroups:  BS_Default, CS_Default, DS_Default, or ES_Default.

            ACTION     Check the spelling of the workgroup name to ensure that it is
                       what you intended.  If necessary, you can display a list of
                       existing workgroup names by entering the SHOWWG command.  Also,
                       since you cannot place a user-defined workgroup after the
                       system-defined workgroups, the POSITION parameter does not
                       accept any of the following workgroup names:  BS_Default,
                       CS_Default, DS_Default, or ES_Default.  (You may specify the
                       AS_Default workgroup, however, because the workgroup you are
                       adding will precede the workgroup you specify in the POSITION
                       parameter.  So, for example, you would specify the AS_Default
                       workgroup when you want the workgroup you are adding to be the 
                       last user-defined workgroup in the ordered list.)

 12230        MESSAGE    This name is reserved for a system-defined workgroup.  (CIERR
                       12230)

            CAUSE      You attempted to create a user-defined workgroup using one of
                       the system-defined workgroup names.

            ACTION     Reenter the command to specify a workgroup name that does not
                       match one of the system-defined workgroups:  AS_Default,
                       BS_Default, CS_Default, DS_Default, and ES_Default or the
                       reserved workgroup name Natural_wg.  Although these workgroup
                       names appear in mixed alphabetic case, the system reserves
                       these names irrespective of case.  So if you attempt to create
                       a new workgroup called es_default, for example, you will see
                       this error message.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12231        MESSAGE    Cannot modify the AS_Default and BS_Default workgroups.
                       (CIERR 12231)

            CAUSE      You attempted to redefine one or more characteristics of the
                       AS_Default or the BS_Default system-defined workgroups.

            ACTION     You cannot alter the characteristics of the AS_Default and
                       BS_Default workgroups.  Make sure that the workgroup name is
                       what you intended and reenter the command to specify the
                       correct workgroup name.

 12235        MESSAGE    The Workload Manager configuration file is corrupt. Enter
                       "HELP CIERR12235" for more information. (CIERR 12235)

            CAUSE      For some reason, the WGCONFIG file has been corrupted.

            ACTION     Reboot the system and, at the ISL prompt, enter START
                       NORECOVERY SINGLE-USER. Rebooting the system in this way
                       renames the corrupted WGCONFIG file and creates a new WGCONFIG
                       file with the system-defined (default) workgroups.  Once the
                       system is finished booting, you can use the NEWWG command to
                       add user-defined workgroups to the configuration.  Once you
                       have done so, restart the system with your normal START command
                       specifications.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 12236        MESSAGE    Indirect file must be an ASCII file. You may use the WGFILE
                       format of the NEWWG command in conjunction with I/O redirection
                       to create one. (CIERR 12236)

            CAUSE      The indirect file you specified on the command line is not an
                       ASCII file.

            ACTION     Use an editor such as EDIT/3000 to create an ASCII file that
                       contains the definition(s) of your user-defined workgroup(s).
                       You can either create this file from scratch or, if you intend
                       to modify the current configuration, you can capture the output
                       of the SHOWWG command and edit that.  To do so, enter SHOWWG @,
                       WGFILE > filename.  This creates a temporary ASCII file, of the
                       name you specified, that contains the current definitions of
                       all the workgroups that are active on your system.

 12237        MESSAGE    Cannot rewind the indirect file for reading. (CIERR 12237)

            CAUSE      An access error occured during repositioning of the record
                       pointer to the beginning of the indirect file.

            ACTION     Examine the file to ensure that it is not corrupt, then reenter
                       the command.

 12238        MESSAGE    You must purchase the Workload Manager (product # B3879AA)

                       12238)

            CAUSE      You tried to create a user-defined workgroup without purchasing
                       the Workload Manager.  If you have purchased the product and
                       you see this message, it is possible that one or more of its
                       components have been corrupted.

            ACTION     If you have purchased the Workload Manager, verify that the
                       WLMGR.MPEXL.SYS file is intact.  If it is not, follow the steps
                       in the installation guide to regenerate it.

                       To purchase a copy of the Workload Manager, contact your local
                       Hewlett-Packard sales office.

 12239        MESSAGE    Logon name must be of the form "[JobSess_Name,]USER.ACCOUNT"
                       where wildcards are allowed. (CIERR 12239)

            CAUSE      The MEMB_LOGON parameter contains a logon name that does not
                       follow the requirements of the Workload Manager logon name
                       specification.

            ACTION     Inspect the logon name to ensure that each component is not
                       more than eight characters long and that it begins with an
                       alphabetic character or either the "@" or "?" wildcard
                       characters.  (Within the logon name, the wildcard characters
                       "@", "?" and "#" are permitted.  However, since names may not
                       begin with digits, you cannot use "#" as the first character of
                       any of the logon components.)  Also, if the JobSess_Name
                       portion of the logon is supplied, the whole name must be quoted
                       so that it is treated as one entity.  Otherwise, the comma
                       separating JobSess_Name from USER.ACCOUNT will cause
                       JobSess_Name to be treated as a logon name by itself.

 12240        MESSAGE    Cannot change the default workgroup of a system process.
                       (CIERR 12240)

            CAUSE      You attempted to change the workgroup of a system process,
                       which is not allowed.

            ACTION     Use the SHOWPROC command to make sure that the process whose
                       workgroup you are changing is a user process.  If it is, verify
                       that the PIN number that you supplied is correct and then
                       reenter the command.

                       workgroups. (CIERR 12241)

            CAUSE      You attempted to change the CPU percentages of one of the
                       AS_Default, BS_Default, CS_Default, DS_Default, or ES_Default
                       system-defined workgroups.  You can only change the CPU
                       percentages of the user-defined workgroups.

            ACTION     Check the spelling of the workgroup name that you specified,
                       keeping in mind that names are case insensitive.  Reenter the
                       command to supply a user-defined workgroup name.
