Run-Time Codes: System Activity Indicator


When the system is up and running, the LED display issues an alternating run-time message code as FxFF, where "x" is a hexadecimal digit from 0-A. The digit represents the percentage of non-idle time.

DCC Error Codes


Toward the end of system start, the data communication configurator (DCC) executes. This creates the LINK and DTS managers defined in NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. If the DCC completes successfully, the following message is displayed:
  • DCC STARTUP - OK!

However, if an error occurs, one of the following error messages is displayed. These messages contain a DCC error number and description.

In the messages below, the P-L number is a DCC procedure number and DCC location number. These values are needed by your local DCC support person when a problem is reported. The SSSSSSSS in some messages is an 8-digit hexadecimal value. MMM and LLL are decimal values. PATH is a NMCONF path or LLIO physical path.


NOTE: Currently, the last message issued to the console during a system startup is DCC STARTUP - ERROR. This is not an actual error. Enter a Return and the system prompt MPE/XL: is displayed.

DCC Messages

High-Priority Machine Check (HPMC) Errors

  • XXF0 - XXFF

HPMC Messages

Console Messages for Log File Errors


Log file errors are reported in one of the following messages. Refer to Table 9-1 "Log File Errors" for a summary of log file error numbers, their meaning, and whether they are recoverable or irrecoverable errors.

LOG FILE NUMBER xxxx ERROR #nn. LOGGING STOPPED indicates that an irrecoverable error occurred. System logging is disabled until the next system startup.

LOG FILE NUMBER xxxx ERROR #nn. LOGGING SUSPENDED indicates that a recoverable error occurred. A recoverable error temporarily suspends logging until the RESUMELOG command is issued.

Log File Error Messages

Interpreting SYSGEN Messages and Error Codes


Three types of messages (informational, error, and warning) may occur during SYSGEN operations.

Informational messages indicate something out of the ordinary has happened. Do not take any action. SYSGEN continues normally.

Warnings are more serious. They indicate SYSGEN has encountered difficulties, but can handle the problem. Determine if any action should be taken. SYSGEN continues normally. Warnings follow the string, **warning**.

Errors fall into two categories: fatal and nonfatal. Fatal errors make it impossible for SYSGEN to continue. In the case of a fatal error, the job control word (JCW) is set to SYSTEM.

Nonfatal errors are caused by user mistakes.

Both fatal and nonfatal errors follow the string **error**. The "!" is replaced with actual information when you encounter the error.
