104: ZVHS-EVT-CREATE-BACKUP-FAILED
ZEMS-TKN-SUPPRESS-DISPLAY is set to ZSPI-VAL-FALSE.
ZVHS-TKN-PNAME is the process name of VHS.
ZVHS-TKN-ENVIRONMENT-NAME is the name of the environment of this VHS. If no
environment name is defined using the VHS startup parameter ENVIRONMENT-
PARAM, then the default value is VHS.
ZVHS-TKN-CPU is the CPU number of the VHS backup process.
ZVHS-TKN-PRI is the priority of the VHS backup process.
ZVHS-TKN-FILE-ERROR is the file error returned by NEWPROCESS.
ZVHS-TKN-MESSAGE-STRING is the error text corresponding to NEWPROCESS
error.
ZVHS-TKN-NEWPROCESS-ERROR is the error returned by NEWPROCESS.
ZVHS-TKN-VHS-OBJECTFILE is the object file name of VHS.
ZVHS-TKN-VERSION is the version of VHS.
Probable Cause
VHS tried to start its backup process but the NEWPROCESS failed with an error. The
primary VHS process tries to restart its backup process unless the NEWPROCESS
error indicates that the backup CPU is down. In this case, VHS tries to create a new
backup 10 seconds after it receives the CPU UP system message for the backup CPU.
For errors other than CPU down, the VHS primary process waits for 10 seconds and
retries; if this first attempt fails, the next attempt occurs after a 20-second delay.
Thereafter, the primary process attempts to create a new backup process every 20
seconds.
Recommended Action
The recommended action depends on the most significant bytes of the
NEWPROCESS error.
