Note: “Message Life Cycle Rules” describes the priority relationships between individual Routine Messages.
Message Life Cycle Rules
“Message life cycle rules” are the rules that govern creating, replacing, displaying, storing, and deleting messages.
FID 1:
vCreation: A FID 1 is created when the
vDisplayed: FID 1 messages are displayed when created. All FID messages will have the form “FID n mm”, where n is 1 through 4 and mm is the specific FID code.
vDeletion: FID 1 messages are deleted during the power cycle. If a FID 1 message displays, and the Enter button is pressed, the FID 1 message deletes. Also, new FID 1 messages delete old FID 1 messages.
Attention Messages:
vCreation: When the
vStored: When a FID 1 message overlays an Attention message, the code stores the Attention message. When the code deletes the displayed FID 1 message, it displays the stored Attention message.
vDeletion: An Attention message is deleted when the Enter key is pressed or when power is cycled. Pressing the Reset button deletes it. The Attention message generates again if the condition has not been resolved.
Routine Messages—Mount:
vCreation: A Mount message is created when a SCSI Display Message command is received that requests a Mount message. If a cartridge is loaded in the drive, it ignores the Mount message.
If a Mount message is received while an earlier Mount message exists, the second Mount message replaces the earlier one.
This command also deletes any General messages and deletes the mount portion of previous Demount/Mount messages.
