Getting Help with Errors 

When NMMGR encounters an error, it displays a brief message in the
message field of the current screen.  In most cases, these messages
provide enough information for you to correct the error and continue
operation.  Occasionally, however, you may encounter a more serious error
or the cause of an error may not be readily apparent.  You may then need
additional information to understand the cause of the error.

The Error Information Screen 

The Error Information screen displays the latest error that NMMGR
encountered and associated error messages, if any.  To display the Error
Information screen, type ERRORS in the command window of any screen and
press [ENTER].

Note that as many as five levels of error messages can be displayed in
the Error Information screen, depending on where the error occurred in
the software.  However, it does not display the prompts that are a result
of entering invalid data types in fields.

Figure 2-2 shows an example of the error messages displayed on the Error
Information screen.  In this case, a user who was not the creator of the
configuration file, tried to compress the file.  This action is not
allowed.  Note the hierarchy of the errors returned as shown in the
example.  The top level is the NMMGR error message; the other levels come
from software accessed by NMMGR.

NMMGR Error Messages 

Error messages associated with the NMMGR program are listed in appendix A
of this manual.  Each error message is listed with at least one possible
cause and a recommended action for each cause.  You also may need to
refer to the MPE file system and operating system manuals for
explanations of any MPE error messages that may appear on the Error
Information screen.
