Validation Error Messages
The network management configuration file must be validated before it can be processed by SYSGEN. The validation procedure is invoked in NMMGR by requesting it on the VALIDATE CONFIGURATION FILE screen. Error messages will be displayed on the system console. Additionally, error messages can be directed to a printer. The DTS validation procedure starts by displaying the following on the system console: 197 - Validation of DTS/LINK started. - Errors are then listed to the console. When the validation procedure is complete, it will print the following on the system console: nnn Encountered Errors
 |
NOTE: After successful validation, run SYSGEN to cross-validate the DTS configuration with the System configuration. 197 - Validation of DTS/LINK finished. - where nnn is the total number of errors found during validation. Following is a numerical list of validation error messages and actions for each. |
Validation Error Messages
- 1
- MESSAGE
Path: NMMGRpath.
A read error encountered while reading the data record (bad file). (DTSERR=1)
- CAUSE
Either a hardware problem occurred or the data record is too long.
- ACTION
Try to print the network management configuration file. Rebuild the file from a copy of the sample file NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS. If the problem persists, contact your Hewlett-Packard support representative.
- 2

Path: NMMGRpath.
A write error encountered while updating the data record (bad file). (DTSERR=2)
- CAUSE
Either a hardware problem occurred or the data record file is too small.
- ACTION
If the data record file has been compressed, it is impossible to validate the file. Go to the UTILITY screen and use the compression utility to make the file larger. Try to validate the file. If it still fails, build the file from a copy of the sample file NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS. If the problem persists when verifying the new file, contact your Hewlett-Packard support representative.
