Error Messages
Error messages indicate serious problems. VCM processes do not stop running because of an error, but
VCM might not continue normally.
For example, if the collection of a specific data type produces a value that is not of the type that the
database expects, VCM might have to discard the collected information for that entire data type.
Discarding collected information produces an error message that indicates that something did not work
properly. VCM can recover and continue, but the data you wanted for that collection is not correct.
Exception Messages
Exception messages indicate a problem that unexpectedly stops VCM because of a complete failure of the
current process.
For example, the following exception might occur when there is a communication problem between the
Collector and Agent.
A connection with the server could not be established HRESULT 0x80072efd;
