As a result, WEBES may not process all of the events in the ERRLOG.SYS;-1 previous file 
version. It should not harm subsequent SEA automatic analysis of new events.
In a future version WEBES will copy the ERRLOG.SYS file to process large amounts of data 
without keeping the file open, which will minimize the chances of this problem occurring.
The exact retry scheme that ERRFMT uses is as follows:
After each write failure, it will wait for (retry number *2) seconds before retrying the write. 
So, it will wait 2 seconds before the first retry. If the write fails again, it will wait 4 seconds 
before the second retry, etc. ERRFMT will retry up to 17 times (including waiting 36 seconds 
after the 17th retry) before creating a new file version of ERRLOG.SYS. The total retry time is 
342 seconds, or about 5.7 minutes.
Workaround
If the above error is seen in the Director log or in the CLI output, copy 
SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS;-1 (or whichever file version is desired) to another file and 
manually analyze that file.
2.3.7.2 Insufficient Privilege or File Protection Violation 
If you are not a member of the SYSTEM group, your user ID does not have all privileges, or 
you have not issued the SET PROCESS /PRIV=ALL command, you cannot access or see any 
directories or files under the WEBES directory tree pointed to by the SVCTOOLS_HOME 
logical (SYS$COMMON:[HP] by default). If this is the case, you see errors similar to the 
following examples: 
$ dir svctools_home:[000000...] 
%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening SVCTOOLS_COMMON:[000000]*.*;* as input
