OSS EasySetup Utility Messages

The following console messages can appear on the terminal that issued an EasySetup

command. The OSS EasySetup utilities can also generate EMS events, which are

issued under the OSS subsystem ID. For information about these messages, see the

Operator Messages Manual.

filename

indicates the Guardian file that cannot be found, which is usually

$SYSTEM.ZSPIDEF.ZEMSTACL or $SYSTEM.ZSPIDEF.ZOSSTACL.

Cause. The utility cannot find the indicated event definition file, a Subsystem

Programmatic Interface (SPI) file containing the Event Management Service (EMS)

event definitions that the utility needs to issue event messages. This problem

commonly occurs when the SPI files either have not been installed, have been

installed on a volume other than $SYSTEM, or have been installed in a subvolume

other than ZSPIDEF.

Effect. All utilities continue processing. No EMS events are generated.

Recovery. If EMS events are needed, install or reinstall the missing SPI file, carefully

following the instructions for DSM/SCM use.

variable_name

indicates the Event Management Service (EMS) message token for which a

definition cannot be found.

Cause. The utility cannot find the event definition file (usually

$SYSTEM.ZSPIDEF.ZEMSTACL or $SYSTEM.ZSPIDEF.ZOSSTACL) that contains the

token definition. The event definition file is a Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI)

file containing the EMS message definitions that the utility needs to issue event

messages. This problem commonly occurs when the SPI files either have not been

installed, have been installed on a volume other than $SYSTEM, or have been

installed in a subvolume other than ZSPIDEF.

Effect. All utilities continue processing. No EMS events are generated.

Recovery. If EMS events are needed, install or reinstall the missing SPI file, carefully

following the instructions for DSM/SCM use.
