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.
