42.0. "CM events vs error messages" by VINO::DBIGELOW (Innovate, Integrate, Evaporate) Wed Dec 02 1992 17:14

    In the event list window that is assocoated with the C3, there are
    a lot of Console Manager events. These may also be looked upon as
    error messages. Do these correlate directly with the error messages
    that are in the documentation? I am seeing the following three
    error messages and trying to trace down the problem:
    
       1. CMgr Console NOT Found - Unable to open console for system foobar
          - Can't assign requested address.
    
       2. CMgr Console NOT Found - Unable to open console for system xyz 
          - Mount device busy.
    
       3. CMgr Console Lost - Console link for system abc lost 
          - Bad file number.
    
    Do the 'CMgr Console NOT Found' and 'CMgr Console Lost' translate to an
    error message?

42.1Yes, they are errors!OPG::PHILIPAnd through the square window...Wed Dec 02 1992 18:2017
Dave,

    Yes, they are errot messages, the 'CMgr Console NOT Found' means that CM
    couldnt get to the console, so there is most likely a problem with the
    server, or the unix device you specified in the database, and the 'CMgr
    Console Lost' is telling you that we had a connection and it has now
    for some reason gone away, possibly due to a network problem, or the 
    DECserver being rebooted, this last message shouldnt be too much of a
    problem as CM will retry and connect to the DECserver, however, if the
    DECserver is bouncing up and down and this message is appearing
    repeatedly for the same console, then you have a real problem. 

    Do you think we need to change the docs? If so, what would you like to
    see in them?

Cheers,
Phil

    Phil,
    
        In the error Messages section, their is a bolded line. I'm not sure
    what it is. It appears to be message text. I would first suggest that
    this documentation text be the same as the Information field in the 
    event list window. Abovew that, also in bold or italic, i would
    identify a name which in this case would be the 'event name' field in
    the window. Finally, if you gat a chance, what would be really nice and
    tastefull would be for the cause and action to appear in the popup
    window when you try to get the context. It would definately speed
    things up a bit in trying to solve the problem and might even save 
    us some money by elimating some support calls.

Dave,

  We shall see what we can do, I will take a look at what I can do in the
  event list window. On the documentation front, Karen, are you reading this,
  can you take a look at the stuff Dave is talking about.

Cheers,
Phil
