This section describes the format used to explain messages in this manual.
The part of a message text that is shown in italics represents a variable; the actual wording in the message will depend on the circumstances. The manual lists the messages in the order of the message IDs. The following illustrates the format of a message explanation:
-
message-ID
message-text
Explanation of the message
- S:

- Reference note

When the system administrator is contacted by the operator, the system administrator should collect log information and conduct initial checking in accordance with the procedures explained in 9. Error Handling Procedures.
When you conduct initial checking to determine the cause of a problem, examine all applicable log information, such as the log information for the OS (Windows event log or syslog) and the log information output by PFM - RM for Platform. The log information enables you to understand the details of the processing that was underway when the problem occurred and to take appropriate action. You should also make a record of the operations that led up to the problem and evaluate whether the problem is likely to recur.
