Appendix B Error Messages

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

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.

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

Workgroup name already exists. (CIERR 12201)

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

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.

Workgroup does not exist. (CIERR 12202)

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

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.

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

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.

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.

LIMIT priority cannot exceed BASE. (CIERR 12204)

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

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.

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

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

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.

MINQUANT value cannot exceed MAXQUANT. (CIERR 12206)

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

MINCPUPCT value cannot exceed MAXCPUPCT. (CIERR 12211)

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

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.

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

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

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.

Invalid character in workgroup name. (CIERR 12213)

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.)

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

WG parameter requires SM capability. (CIERR 12227)

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

Consult your system manager or system administrator.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.)

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

For some reason, the WGCONFIG file has been corrupted.

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.

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)

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

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.

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

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

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

You must purchase the Workload Manager (product # B3879AA) before you can create any user-defined workgroups. (CIERR 12238)

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Cannot modify the CPU percentages of the system-defined workgroups. (CIERR 12241)

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.

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.
