DIAGNOSTICS
The following error messages can occur when running I-MON:
can't access image file `ARGUMENT' VMS-MESSAGE
I-MON cannot read the symbol table of the image executing in
the process being monitored. The VMS-MESSAGE is the RMS file
open message. If the problem persists, copy the image file to
a local directory and use the /exe=file option to direct
I-MON to read the file locally.
can't assign terminal `ARGUMENT' VMS-MESSAGE
There is a problem with the logical name TT and/or
sys$output.
can't collect to file for states/modes select
can't deas chan stat = VMS-MESSAGE
Internal failure which should not occur.
can't find my old priority VMS-MESSAGE
I-MON needs to be able to alter its priority. This is an
internal failure which should not occur.
can't get to terminal `ARGUMENT'
There is a problem with the logical name TT and/or
sys$output.
can't locate image 'ARGUMENT'
The image name specified on the command line could not be
found. Run I-MON again and specify either the correct image
or use /process or /id to specify the process to be
monitored.
can't locate process 'ARGUMENT'
The process name specified on the command line could not be
found. Run I-MON again and specify either the correct process
name or use /image or /id to specify the process to be
monitored.
can't open file for replay
The file specified in /input could not be opened (usually
because the file name was misspelled).
can't open terminal description file
The file specified in /terminal=file could not be accessed.
can't set up an exit handler VMS-MESSAGE
cant associate mailbox `ARGUMENT' in assign: VMS-MESSAGE
cant do crembx: VMS-MESSAGE
cant enable mailbox: VMS-MESSAGE
cant set up ast on mailbox: VMS-MESSAGE
All of the above are messages which indicate some failure in
I-MON due to some VMS-type problems such as insufficient
quotas or privileges.
invalid /restrict=PROC or /restrict=(PROC:SIZE) format
invalid delta quantity `ARGUMENT'
invalid numeric argument 'ARGUMENT'
invalid numeric argument 'ARGUMENT' (0..4000)
invalid numeric argument for seconds 'ARGUMENT'
invalid process id `ARGUMENT'
invalid screen descriptor field `ARGUMENT'
A syntax error or a value not in the correct range. Correct
the input command line and run again.
license required
An attempt has been made to run I-MON on a machine for which
it is not configured. Call Bear Computer Systems.
missing values for /buckets=(from,to,by)
missing values for /collect=(from,to)
process is suspended or hibernating, can't determine pid
If the process to be monitored was specified using the
process name or image name, and it will not respond to the
getjpi service, then the process can not be monitored.
qualifier(s) /rawin requires an input file via /input
qualifier(s) /restrict and /collect are mutually exclusive
syntax error or VALUE required with /terminal
If /terminal was entered, then an argument describing either
a file or the name of a supported terminal, such as vt100 or
vt52, must be supplied.
terminal has invalid sizing
When specifying a terminal specification file enter the size
for the number of columns and rows.
terminal must support a clear function
terminal must support a home function
When specifying a terminal specification file, a clear and a
home function must be specified.
timer failure VMS-MESSAGE
timer startup failure
The above are messages which indicate some failure in I-MON
due to some VMS type problems such as insufficient quotas or
privileges.
too few buckets
too many buckets
When using the /buckets command qualifier, I-MON requires at
least 10 buckets, and at most 20000 buckets. Check to make
sure that the bucket size argument is correct. Remember that
if it begins with a leading '0', this means that the value is
the decimal number of buckets instead of the bucket size in
hex.
unknown terminal type, not vt52 or vt100
If I-MON is not told what type of terminal is being used (see
/terminal) then it will check the terminal characteristics
for device TT. If this is not vt52 or vt100, vt200, vt300
compatible, then /terminal must be used. If a terminal type
of vtxx is specified in the set terminal VMS command (for
example, vt220) then I-MON will assume that the terminal is a
vt100 (any vt100,vt200,vt300 series compatible terminal is
considered a vt100 by I-MON).
virtual address space full
This is probably caused by the high speed memory allocation
routine running out of space during a long run. Try rerunning
the same command but add "/free" to use the more efficient
but slower memory allocation scheme.
If the use of the /free qualifier doesn't help then the
"pagefile" quota may be too small. This can be changed by the
system manager in the authorization file. If this is not
enough then investigate whether the sysgen parameter
"virtualpagecnt" is now too small.
