DB2 Server for VSE & VM: Control Center Operations Guide for VM

Appendix A. Control Center Messages

The majority of the product messages are derived from CP, CMS, and the database messages, which are intercepted by the Control Center service machine, acted on in some way, and possibly passed on to Control Center Administrators and users.

The DATABASE MESSAGES file, located on the product code disk, contains a list of messages that are expected from database machines, along with the module that is invoked whenever the message occurs. Typically, the filename of the executable module and the identifier of the message that gets passed on to the user are derived from the original message identifier.

All product messages sent to users will begin with the three characters SQM, followed by:

• the first character of the original message,
• the numeric portion of the original message, and
• the severity indicator of the original message.

  Severity indicators include:

  E

  Error

  I

  Information

  W

  Warning

For example, when message ARI0043I is received, Control Center module SQMA043I is executed on the service machine. This module will in turn send a message with identifier SQMA043I to appropriate users. The message text associated with the message may differ from that of the original message (ARI0043I), since the product may have additional information to supply.

Control Center Message/Action Report

Provided with the product is the Control Center Message/Action Report (file DATABASE MSGLIST on the code disk). It contains a list of messages that are expected from database machines, along with the module that is invoked whenever the message occurs and a description of the module. It can be viewed using XEDIT by entering this command in the option input field of the product panel interface:

CMS X DATABASE MSGLIST

A partial listing of the Control Center Message/Action Report (DATABASE MSGLIST file) is shown in Figure 243.
