About messages

Message types and organization.

Three types of messages are issued to you from the user interfaces and supporting software:

vInformational messages are identified by the letter “I” at the end of the message identifier. They provide information about activities as they take place. For instance, an informational message might report that a volume was successfully created. No user action is necessary.

vWarning messages are identified by the letter “W” at the end of the message identifier. They warn that activities might have consequences that you do not anticipate. Warning messages normally provide the opportunity to continue an activity or to cancel it.

vError messages are identified by the letter “E” at the end of the message identifier. They indicate that an error has occurred. Refer to the explanations and recommended actions in this document to resolve the problem.

The messages in this document are grouped by the reporting interface or software:

vFramework message identifiers are prefixed by the letters “CMMC” and “CMUF”. The framework is the basic software that supports your user interface.

vCommand-line interface message identifiers are prefixed by the letters “CMUC”.

vDS Storage manager message identifiers are prefixed by the letters “CMUG”, “CMUL”, “CMUR”and “CMUS”.

vStorage management console server message identifiers are prefixed by the letters “CMUN”.

Note: OpenVMS systems display framework and command-line interface message identifiers prefixed by the letters “IBMDSCLI_”.
