Terminal self-describing agent installation errors
In this section you can find examples of terminal self-describing agent installation errors.
In this example, the install record for product code 11 displays a STATE value of ME:
HUB/RTEMS PRODUCT VERSION GRPID ID IDVER SEEDSTATE STATE STATUS RTEMS_LZ 11 06230000 5655 TMS 06230000 Y ME 1014The STATE=ME record indicates a self-describing agent metadata installation error has occurred on the monitoring server. The monitoring server stops attempting any self-describing agent installation for this product code until some action is taken by the administrator to correct the error. This correction might involve IBM Software Support. In this scenario, use the tacmd deleteappinstallrec command to clear the self-describing agent error record after you have addressed the problem. For more information about the tacmd deleteappinstallrec command, see the Command Reference.
To determine if a self-describing agent product installation has failed with a terminal error condition, run the tacmd listappinstallrecs command using the -e option to show error records only. For any error records with a STATE value of ME, the installation is not retried.
