Appendix C
Recovering from Errors

This appendix provides information to help you deal with failures or errors that might occur during product installation or product use.

C.1 Failures During Product Installation

If VMSINSTAL detects any problems during the installation, it notifies you and asks if you want to continue the installation. In some instances, you can enter Y to continue. To stop the installation process and correct the situation, enter N or press Return. Then correct the problem and restart the installation.

If errors occur during the installation itself or when the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) is running, VMSINSTAL displays failure messages. If the installation fails, you see the following message:


%VMSINSTAL-E-INSFAIL, The installation of HP BASIC V1.6 has failed.

If the IVP fails, you see these messages:


%VMSINSTAL-E-IVPFAIL, HP BASIC Installation test FAILED.
The HP BASIC V1.6 IVP has failed!

Errors can occur during the installation if any of the following conditions exist:

  • The operating system version is incorrect.
  • A prerequisite software version is incorrect.
  • Quotas necessary for successful installation are insufficient.
  • System parameter values for successful installation are insufficient.
  • The OpenVMS help library is currently in use.
  • The product license has not been registered and loaded.

For descriptions of the error messages generated by these conditions, see the OpenVMS documentation on system messages, recovery procedures, and OpenVMS software installation. If you are notified that any of these conditions exist, you should take the appropriate action as described in the message.

For information about installation requirements, see Chapter 1.

C.2 Failures During Product Use

If you encounter a problem while using HP BASIC, and your software contract or warranty agreement entitles you to telephone support, call HP.

Review the Software Product Description (SPD) and Warranty Addendum for an explanation of warranty. If you encounter a problem during the warranty period, report the problem as previously indicated or follow alternate instructions provided by HP for reporting SPD nonconformance problems.
