Alternatively, delete unneeded rows from the Collection table.

NOT_FOUND, record not found

Explanation: An attempt was made to delete a row from the Collection table, but that row does not exist.
User Action: Modify the request to include the proper identification information for the row (entity type, class, and name).
NO_UPD_CLS, class cannot be modified

Explanation: An attempt was made to add, delete, or modify a Collection table record for the Id or Config class. These records cannot be modified.
User Action: No action is required. There is no way to modify the default collection records for the Id or Config classes.
EVNT_MBX_FUL, event mailbox is full

Explanation: This status code has not been implemented.
User Action: No action is required.
NOSTOP, interface cannot be used to stop itself

Explanation: An attempt was made to stop an interface by using that interface. The Remote Manager does not allow either the RPC or the SNMP interface to be used to stop themselves.
User Action: If you need to stop the RPC interface and cannot use the ACMSMGR command, stop the Remote Manager either by using the DCL command STOP/ID or by using the UCX$SNMP_REQUEST (or TCPIP$SNMP_REQUEST) program. These programs are located in SYS$SYSTEM; the OID to use is 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.48.4.1.3.1.

To stop the SNMP interface, you must use the ACMSMGR SET INTERFACE command, or you must stop the Remote Manager (using either the ACMSMGR STOP command or the DCL command STOP/ID).

A.2 ACMSMGR Messages

The following error messages pertain to the ACMSMGR process.

NORMAL, operation completed

Explanation: The command completed successfully.
User Action: No action is required.
CREDSFOUND, credentials for node <node> found, they will be used

Explanation: This message is obsolete.
User Action: No action is required.
USE_PROXY, username not supplied, proxy access will be attempted

Explanation: This message is obsolete.
User Action: No action is required.
NODATA, no <entity-type> data was found

Explanation: The request to get information about the entity type indicated in the message returned no data. This message occurs when no instances of the particular process are running.
User Action: No action is required. If the process had been running previously, you may be able to see the information by resubmitting the command with the /ALL qualifier.
NOCLNT_ATTACH, cannot create client for node <node-name>

Explanation: An attempt to attach to the server on the node indicated in the command failed. If more than one server name was in the list to be processed, the next server will be tried. No further attempt will be made to submit commands to the node for which the attached client failed.
User Action: Verify that the node name is correct and that the Remote Manager is running on the node indicated. In some networks, it may be necessary to use a fully qualified TCP/IP node name. If the Remote Manager is running, verify that the Portmapper is running on the node and that the RPC interface in the Remote Manager has been started. For more help on diagnosing and fixing client attach problems, refer to the Troubleshooting section in the Compaq ACMS for OpenVMS Remote Systems Management Guide.
OLDDATA, this data is old and may not accurately reflect the running system

Explanation: The data being displayed may contain information about processes that are no longer running. Old, or stale, data is displayed only if the /ALL qualifier was included with the command. The old records are flagged with an asterisk (*) in the first character of the node name.
User Action: No action is required. Remove the /ALL qualifier if you do not want to see old data.
INACTDATA, some or all data is old and may not accurately reflect the running system

Explanation: The data being displayed may contain information about processes that are no longer running. Old, or stale, data is displayed only if the /ALL qualifier was included with the command. The old records are flagged with an asterisk (*) in the first character of the node name.
User Action: No action is required. Remove the /ALL qualifier if you do not want to see old data.
UNKCMD, unrecognized command <command>

Explanation: The command verb indicated in the message is not valid.
User Action: Modify the command to include a valid command verb. To learn more about valid verbs, use the ACMSMGR HELP command.
UNKCMDOBJ, unrecognized object <command object> for this command

Explanation: The command object indicated in the message is not valid.
User Action: Modify the command to include a valid command object. To learn more about valid command objects, use the ACMSMGR HELP command.
BADVALUE, invalid qualifier, cannot interpret value <value>

Explanation: The value provided for a command qualifier is invalid. It is either out of the range of acceptable values or is an invalid type.
User Action: Modify the command qualifier to include a valid value. To learn more about valid values for a given qualifier, use the ACMSMGR HELP command.
BADTIME, invalid time <time>

Explanation: The time specification provided for the command qualifier could not be parsed. Time specifications can include date and time, date only or time only. The date and time should be specified as a quoted string in the format DDMMMYYYY HH:MM:SS.hh. Partial strings are accepted (for example, "1NOV" or "10:00").
User Action: Modify the command to include a valid time specification. To learn more about valid time values, use the ACMSMGR HELP command.
WRONGQUAL, qualifer <qualifier> is not supported for this verb and object, please correct and reexecute command

Explanation: A command qualifier was specified that is not valid for the verb/object combination specified.
User Action: Modify the command to include a valid qualifier. To learn more about the valid qualifiers for a verb/object combination, use the ACMSMGR HELP command.
NONODE, node must be specified as a logical or an argument

Explanation: Each ACMSMGR command needs a node name to be specified. The node name can be specified either as a command qualifier (for example, /NODE=mynode) or by the logical name ACMS$MGMT_SERVER_NODE. Multiple nodes can be specified in a comma-separated list (for example, /NODE=node1,node2). To specify a list of nodes when defining the logical name ACMS$MGMT_SERVER_NODE, enclose the entire list in double quotation marks. For example:


$ DEFINE ACMS$MGMT_SERVER_NODE "NODE1,NODE2" 

User Action: Modify the command to include the /NODE qualifier, or define the logical ACMS$MGMT_SERVER_NODE to include at least one node name.

NOCREDS, could not get credentials for <node::user>

Explanation: The credentials file for the user either could not be found or could not be opened by the client process. The credentials file is created when a user explicitly logs in to the Remote Manager (that is, the user supplies a user name and password). A separate credentials file is created for each node to which a particular process logs in. The logical name ACMS$MGMT_CREDS_DIR is used to point to the directory containing credentials files.

Note that credentials files are process-specific (PID) and node specific.
User Action: Verify that the ACMS$MGMT_CREDS_DIR logical is pointing to a valid disk and directory in which a credentials file has been created; verify that the process has read access to the files in the directory. The process may have to log in to the Remote Manager again to create a new credentials file.

NOCLIENTS, no clients created, cannot continue

Explanation: No client attaches were successful. Previous messages will have been displayed indicating the particular reasons that the client attaches failed. Without attaching a client to a server, work can not be performed.
User Action: Determine and remedy the reason for the client attach failures then resubmit the command. See also the Troubleshooting section of the Compaq ACMS for OpenVMS Remote Systems Management Guide for more help.
NOFACILITY, facility must be specified when setting trace level

Explanation: The user name specified exceeds the maximum allowed length of 12 characters.
User Action: Modify the user name to be no longer than 12 characters and reenter it.
ENCRYPTFAIL, encryption routine failure on <username>

Explanation: An attempt to encrypt the user name indicated for client authentication failed.
User Action: Make sure the user name is correct and reenter it.
LOGIN_FAIL, login failed

Explanation: The attempt to log in failed. The reason might be an invalid user name or password. The Remote Manager log will contain more information about the reason for failure.
User Action: Consult the Remote Manager log on the target node for more information about the failure (using the ACMSMGR SHOW LOG command). Correct the problem and resubmit the login request.
HOSTNAMEFAIL, can't translate UCX$INET_HOST name, aborting...

Explanation: The logical name UCX$INET_HOST could not be translated by the client process. This logical is used to determine the current host name, which is used during client authentication. The logical is defined by the UCX or TCP/IP layered product when it is started. If the logical is not defined, either UCX or TCP/IP is not started, a different TCP/IP networking package is being used, or something has gone wrong with the logical name.
User Action: Verify that the UCX or TCP/IP layered product is started. If it is not, start it and then reissue the command. If it is started, contact your system administrator to determine why the logical is not defined.
FILEOPENERR, could not open file <filename> for write

Explanation: This message is displayed when the /OUT qualifier to ACMSMGR command specifies an invalid or inaccessible file specification. The reason could be an invalid disk or device name, an incorrect logical name in the file specification, insufficient privileges for writing to the directory or file, or a full device.
User Action: Ensure that the client process can access the directory and file in the file specification, and resubmit the command.
NOVAL, qualifier <qualifier> requires a value string

Explanation: The qualifier indicated requires a value string, but none was provided.
User Action: Modify the command to include a valid value string and resubmit the command. To learn more about the valid values for a given qualifier, use the ACMSMGR HELP command.
WRONGPARAM, parameter type is not valid for this entity type, please correct and reexecute command

Explanation: The parameter type in the command is not valid for the entity type specified. Each parameter is valid for only a particular set of entity types; the combination specified is not a valid pair.
User Action: Modify the command to include a valid combination of entity type and parameter. To learn more about valid combinations, use the ACMSMGR HELP command.
2MANYCLASSES, too many class qualifiers were specified.

Explanation: Each ACMSMGR command allows either one class or all classes to be displayed at the same time. To display all classes, do not include a class qualifier with the command. To display a particular class, include that qualifier with the command. You cannot specify more than one class qualifier with a given command.
User Action: Modify the command to include a maximum of one class qualifier, and resubmit the command. To learn more about the valid class qualifiers for a given command verb and object, use the ACMSMGMR HELP command.
NOCOMPND, compound name is not allowed for this entity (only server and group).

Explanation: An attempt was made to add a collection record using a compound name for an entity that is not a server or group. Compound names (that is, names that contain an application specification and a process specification) are valid for only servers and groups.
User Action: Modify the command so it does not include a compound name. For more help about adding collection records, use the ACMSMGR HELP ADD COLLECTION command.
