CA VM:Secure Messages

While using CA VM:Secure, you will receive messages that do one of the following:

• Inform you of the status and progress of a current function or task
• Prompt you for information about your system
• Indicate if an error occurred
• Provide instructions for resolving errors

All messages are in the following format:

Where:

• VMX = Product Identifier
