default_response
is the action taken or the value used if the user presses Return.
After you start a utility, you cannot back up within its dialog and choose alternate responses to
prompts. Only the OSSSETUP utility provides help as a TACL command line option.
You can stop any of the utilities by pressing the Break key. This action is acknowledged by the
following message:
Break or error terminated operation.
task of the OSS subsystem on system-name: FAILED
Utility-name terminated unexpectedly or encountered errors.
task
the action (specific to each utility) in process when the break key was pressed:
UtilityTask
OSSSETUPInstallation
OSSREMOVRemoval
STOPOSSShutdown
STARTOSSStartup
system-name
is the Expand node name for the system on which the utility stopped.
Utility-name
is the name of the utility issuing the message.
The same message appears, preceded by error diagnostic information, if a utility must stop because
of an internally detected error.
Diagnostic Messages
All the OSS EasySetup utilities issue a banner display message and progress and error messages
that are intended to be self-explanatory. OSSSETUP writes diagnostic messages to its journal file
as well as to these files. Progress messages are written to the user’s home terminal.
If the Event Management Service (EMS) event definition files ZOSSTACL and ZEMSTACL have
been installed in the ZSPIDEF subvolume of $SYSTEM, the T0585AAA version of the utilities also
writes progress messages to the system service log ($ZLOG), and to the EMS collector process $0.
Beginning with the T0585AAB version, the utilities suppress progress messages as EMS events
unless the EASYSETUP^EMSVOL PARAM has been defined.
Progress messages have the form:
text: { STARTING | COMPLETED | FAILED }
where COMPLETED indicates successful completion of a task, while FAILED indicates that the task
could not be completed.
OSS EasySetup EMS events are logged with the OSS subsystem ID and have the form:
TANDEM.OSS.D30 00010 USER NOTICE (userID) : text
where userID is your user ID, and text is the event message text.
Diagnostic messages for nonfatal situations include a suggested response to avoid the problem.
See the Open System Services Installation Guide for a complete list of possible diagnostic messages
