What To Do if Something Goes Wrong
System Failures
System failures are errors detected in the
IBM
Personal
Computer XT /370 hardware or in the VM/PC software.
They can be detected during the VM/PC startup or at any
time during normal VM/PC processing. Whenever a system
failure is detected, you will be notified in two ways.
The Session Selection Menu will be updated to indicate
an error on the Local 3277 Session. The Session
Selection Menu will instruct you to select the Local 3277
Session for more information. When you select the
Local 3277 Session, you will see the message listed
below.
• When the Local 3277 Session is active, the following
message will be shown:
Local 3277 Session Terminated (or Initialization Failure)
Press Fl for retry, SELECT to return to Session Menu
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is
an error message.
If
you receive this message, press the FI key to attempt
a retry.
If
the retry is successful, the local session will be
restarted. Your last entries may be lost and may be
entered again. Any remote sessions which were active
will not be affected.
If the retry is unsuccessful, you must take some further
action. Refer to the procedures below or call your
technical coordinator and tell him/her the error message
you received.
