Messages


 This appendix lists all messages generated by the CA MICS
 Hardware and SCP Analyzer.  Some messages are generated
 during the processing of the control statements, while others
 are caused by various conditions in the data found during the
 processing.  The messages are listed in ascending numerical
 sequence and include the full text of the message, the type,
 the reason for the message, appropriate user action, and
 applicable references to documentation.
 
 These type codes categorize the following messages:
 
 Information    A note that documents a CA MICS option or
                potentially important feature in the data.
 
 Warning        A condition is present in either the date or
                the control statements that does not affect CA
                MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer operation, but
                that might lead to unexpected results.
 
 Error          A problem with a control statement that will
                prevent a successful run of the product has
                been encountered.  Execution is stopped after
                all control statements are processed.
 

 The message text often includes references to information
 that is contained in a control statement or the values of
 permanent or temporary variables that were created during CA
 MICS processing.  In the description below, the message text
 contains a word beginning with a percent sign (%), which
 indicates that a value will be substituted into the text at
 execution time.  For example, message RMF00104 reads as
 follows:
 
 SHORT RECORD DROPPED:
 SYSID: %SYSID   ORGSYSID: %ORGSYSID
 END TIME STAMP: %ENDTSCH
 RECORD TYPE: %SMFRTYPE
 
 A possible version of the printed message in the MICSLOG
 might be:
 
 SHORT RECORD DROPPED:
 SYSID: SYS1   ORGSYSID: SYS1
 END TIME STAMP: 10SEP90:15:00:00.00

    TYPE:    Warning
 
    REASON:  An error in writing the RMF records has caused a

             will continue.
 
    ACTION:  If this is a one-time occurrence, it is not a
             matter of great concern.  If it happens
             repeatedly, investigate for the possible
             corruption of your SMF records.

             CA MICS will not process records prior to the
             lowest RMF version supported.

    TEXT:    A truncated, malformatted or non-RMF record has
             been detected in the input file before initial
             checkpoint processing.  MICSLOG messages showing
             counts of records read, processed, and deleted
             will be incorrect.  RMF00109W messages will
             follow for each bad record.
 
    TYPE:    Warning
 
    REASON:  CA MICS must be able to read the SYSID and
             timestamp of each RMF input record in order to
             begin checkpoint processing.  CA MICS determined
             that an input record was either from a non-RMF
             source, or was too short to contain the SYSID or
             timestamp.
 
             This message is issued only for the first bad
             record detected.  Message RMF00109W is issued for
             each bad record.

             encounters a record that is from a non-RMF source

    TYPE:    Warning
 
    REASON:  This message is issued if there is a mismatch
             (%MSGVAR can take the values "more" or "less")
             between the actual number of cache data sections
             available in a continuation type 74 subtype 4
             Coupling Facility record, and the total number of
             sections expected for all cache structures
             belonging to the original record.
 
             The data will be processed but there is a
             potential corruption in the HARCFH file for all

    REASON:  This message is issued if there are broken
             records in the input data for which support has
             not yet been validated.  These are records that
             required continuation records because the raw

             Record(s) discarded because there are no suspend
             record(s) available to perform delta processing
 
                     Record   (normally one record per logical
             SYSID   Count     processor assigned to LPAR)
             -----   ------
 
    TYPE:    Warning
 
    REASON:  This message appears if any SMF type 113 interval
             records are encountered that required delta
             processing, but there was no HARCMX suspend file
             record available.  The records are discarded.
 
             This message should only be seen if SMF type 113
             records for a particular LPAR are input into a
             DAILY update DAY020 step for the first time, and
             the first record encountered for a LPAR processor
             was a HISINTYP='INTER' or 'LAST' record, meaning
             that delta processing was required to determine
             the true interval values.
 
             The HARCMX file maintains suspend records to
             allow delta processing to span DAILY update runs.
             If this message appears, and the SMF type 113
             data does not contain data from new LPARS,
             investigate the situation.

    TEXT:    Some SMF type 113 Hardware Instrumentation
             Record(s) discarded because delta processing

             SYSID   Count
             -----   ------
 
    TYPE:    Warning
 
    REASON:  This message appears if the normal delta
             processing (which subtracts the counter value of
             the previous interval record from the current
             interval record counter value), resulted in a
             negative value.
 
             There is no way to determine if the problem was
             due to a raw data field overflow, or because an
             IPU was varied offline, then online again.  The
             true interval value cannot be determined, so the
             IPU level record is discarded.
 
             To find more details about the first 50 records
             deleted, search for the text string "RMF00115" in
             the DAY020 SASLOG.

    TEXT:    Duplicate $RMFPHY entry found and deleted.
             Duplicate key:
             %START
 
    TYPE:    Warning
 
    REASON:  This message is generated when a duplicate data
             element assignment is found under a DEFAULT, CPC,
             DEV, or LDV statement. The third line of the
             message (%START) shows the statement, key, and
             data element. DEFAULT statements have no key.
 
             Examples:  DEFAULT                    PHYKWHUS
                        CPC00000000000FBAA602HA1   PHYKWHRT
 
             The duplicate assignment statement is ignored.
 
    ACTION:  No action is necessary because the duplicate
             statement is ignored. To avoid the message, you
             can edit prefix.MICS.PARMS(RMFPHYDE) and delete
             the duplicate data element assignment statement.
