The first seven NMCNERR messages are written to the console by the NMMON process. The remainder of NMCNERR messages are written by one of the NMLOGMON processes to the console. "NM log Monitor" messages are returned by the "Main type Log Monitor:" this is the first NMLOGMON process created and later handles most tracing. "NM Log Process" messages are returned by the "Log type Monitor," which is the NMLOGMON process that handles logging.

MESSAGE: NMMON: CREATEPROCESS error n on NMFILE.PUB.SYS. (NMCNERR 5)

Level: NMCNERR 5

CAUSE: CREATEPROCESS failed for NMFILE. The NMFILE.PUB.SYS program file might not be present, or might not be Load-able. This could happen if the NMS software is not correctly installed, or if there is a mismatch between NMFILE and SL module versions. Also, there could be other MPE limitations such as insufficient table space.

ACTION: Look up the CREATEPROCESS error number in the Intrinsics Reference Manual. Correct this error. See also "Invalid Software Installation" and "Insufficient MPE Resources" at the beginning of this appendix.



MESSAGE: NMMON: CREATEPROCESS error n on NMLOGMON.PUB.SYS. (NMCNERR 6)

Level: NMCNERR 6

CAUSE: CREATEPROCESS failed for NMLOGMON. The NMLOGMON.PUB.SYS program file might not be present, or might not be Load-able. This could happen if the NMS software is not correctly installed, or if there is a mismatch between NMLOGMON and SL module versions. Also, there could be other MPE limitations such as insufficient table space.

ACTION: Look up the CREATEPROCESS error number in the Intrinsics Reference Manual. Correct this error. See also "Invalid Software Installation" and "Insufficient MPE Resources" at the beginning of this appendix.



MESSAGE: NMMON: NMS version mismatch. NMS-based datacomm unavailable. (NMCNERR 7)

Level: NMCNERR 25

CAUSE: CREATEPROCESS failed for NMLOGMON. The NMLOGMON.PUB.SYS program file might not be present, or might not be Load-able. This could happen if the NMS software is not correctly installed, or if there is a mismatch between NMLOGMON and SL module versions. Also, there could be other MPE limitations such as insufficient table space.

ACTION: See "Submitting an SR" at the beginning of this appendix.



MESSAGE: NM Log Process: Internal error trying to set up NMS logging. (NMCNERR 26)

Level: NMCNERR 34

CAUSE: NM Log Process is unable to acquire an extra data segment.

ACTION: See "Insufficient MPE Resources" at the beginning of this appendix.



MESSAGE: NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn ERROR #nnn. NM LOGGING STOPPED. (NMCNERR 36)

Level: NMCNERR 36

CAUSE: If the error number is greater than 1, this is the file system error that occurred when accessing file NMLGnnnn, where nnnn is the file number specified. If the error number is 1, then see the comments to NMCNERR 23.

ACTION: Correct this problem, then type RESUMENMLOG.



MESSAGE: NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn ERROR #nnn. NM LOGGING SUSPENDED. (NMCNERR 38)

Level: NMCNERR 38

CAUSE: If the error number is greater than 1, this is the file system error that occurred when accessing file NMLGnnnn, where nnnn is the file number specified. If the error number is 1, refer to message NMCNERR 23.

ACTION: Correct this problem, then type RESUMENMLOG.



MESSAGE: UNABLE TO ACCESS NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn. (NMCNERR 42)

Level: NMCNERR 42

CAUSE: The log buffer indicates the logging state is normal or suspended, but it contains a current file number of zero, or FFILEINFO returned a < > condition on the file.

ACTION: Try typing RESUMENMLOG. If SHOWNMLOG after this gives this message again, try rebooting the system to force logging to open a new NMLGnnnn file.



MESSAGE: NM Log Process: Unable to create log dictionary data segment. (NMCNERR 44)

Level: NMCNERR 44

CAUSE: NM Log Process is unable to acquire an extra data segment.

ACTION: See "Insufficient MPE Resources" at the beginning of this appendix.



MESSAGE: NM Log Process: Cannot format log msg. Cannot access formatter for subsystem !. Encountered LOADPROC error !. (NMCNERR 45)

Level: NMCNERR 45

CAUSE: A request to write a formatted log message specifies an NMS subsystem number where formatter Log Process was unable to LOADPROC.

ACTION: The SUBSYSnLOGFORMA procedure, where n is the subsystem number specified in the message, either did not exist in SL.PUB.SYS or could not be loaded when NM Log Process started. Look up the LOADPROC error number in the MPE Intrinsics Reference Manual. Correct this error. Check that NMS subsystem n is completely, correctly installed. See "Invalid Software Installation" and "Insufficient MPE Resources" at the beginning of this appendix.

MESSAGE: NM Log Process: Cannot format log msg. Unknown subsystem nn. (NMCNERR 46)

Level: NMCNERR 46

CAUSE: A request to write a formatted log message specifies an unknown NMS subsystem number.

ACTION: This is an internal error. See "Submitting an SR" at the beginning of this appendix.



MESSAGE: NMLG FILES mmmm THRU nnnn SKIPPED. (NMCNERR 47)

Level: NMCNERR 47

CAUSE: NM log files mmmm through nnnn were skipped over when NMS Logging tried to open a new disk log file. Files NMLGmmmm.PUB.SYS through NMLGnnnn.PUB.SYS already exist. This is an information message only; no error occurred.

ACTION: None.



MESSAGE: NMLG FILES 0000 THRU 9999 ALL USED, NONE AVAILALBLE FOR NEXT LOGFILE. (NMCNERR 48)

Level: NMCNERR 48

CAUSE: NMS Logging finds that files NMLG0000 through NMLG9999 all already exist. It is more likely that a directory problem or an internal problem exists.

ACTION: See "Submitting an SR" at the beginning of this appendix.



MESSAGE: MainLogMon: NMGLOBAL file found, purged (not needed for this version). (NMCNMSG 49)

Level: NMCNMSG 49

CAUSE: Privileged file NMGLOBAL.PUB.SYS was found. This file is not needed in this version of NMS software. The file information is transferred to the Cold Load area of disk, and the file is purged.

ACTION: None. Informative message.



MESSAGE: NM Log Process: Cannot access NMCAT.PUB.SYS to format a log msg. (NMCNERR 50)

Level: NMCNERR 50

CAUSE: NM Log Process could not open the message catalog and so could not format a logging message.

ACTION: See "Invalid Software Installation" at the beginning of this appendix.



MESSAGE: NM Log Process: Logging class ! not configured for subsystem ! in !. (NMCNERR 51)

Level: NMCNERR 51

CAUSE: A logging message was received from NMS subsystem m that specified log class n. However, log class n is not configured. The log message is discarded.

ACTION: Use NMMGR to configure logging class n under subsystem m in the specified configuration file. The NMMGR subtree is LOGGING. SUBmmmm.CLASnnnn, where mmmm is the subsystem number m with leading zeros, and nnnn is the class number n with leading zeros.



MESSAGE: Link Manager unable to open NM logging. (NMCNWARN 70)

Level: NMCNWARN 70

CAUSE: A Link Manager process encountered an error from NMOPENLOG.

ACTION: The specific NMERR will be reported in a console message immediately following this message. The Link Manager process will continue to execute, but will be unable to log any errors, including I/O errors.



MESSAGE: Trace Manager unable to open NM logging. (NMCNWARN 71)

Level: NMCNWARN 71

CAUSE: NMCONFIG does not have logging subsystem 18 configured.

ACTION: None required.



MESSAGE: Linkname Table creation error, subsys=! info=!. (NMCNERR 80)

Level: NMCNERR 80

CAUSE: System call failure.

ACTION: Reboot the system.
