Error description

• Symptom:
  # smitty cdat
       collect data from remote nodes
          select node filename -
   > choose collect type press f4
    -> the following error message appears:
  Bareword "MSG_MANDATORY" not allowed while "strict subs"
  in use at /usr/lib/cdat/cdat-list-types line 100.
  Bareword "MSG_DEFAULT" not allowed while "strict subs" in
  use at /usr/lib/cdat/cdat-list-types line 107.
  Bareword "MSG_PASSTHROUGH" not allowed while "strict
  subs" in use at /usr/lib/cdat/cdat-list-types line 125.
  Bareword "MSG_OPTIONAL" not allowed while "strict subs"
  in use at /usr/lib/cdat/cdat-list-types line 102.
  Execution of /usr/lib/cdat/cdat-list-types aborted due to
  compilation errors.
  
  The error can also be seen directly by command line:
  nimlab19:/> cd /usr/lib/cdat
  nimlab19:/usr/lib/cdat> perl cdat-list-types
  Bareword "MSG_MANDATORY" not allowed while "strict subs"
  in use at cdat-list-types line 100.
  Bareword "MSG_DEFAULT" not allowed while "strict subs" in
  use at cdat-list-types line 107.
  Bareword "MSG_PASSTHROUGH" not allowed while "strict
  subs" in use at cdat-list-types line 125.
  Bareword "MSG_OPTIONAL" not allowed while "strict subs"
  in use at cdat-list-types line 102.
  Execution of cdat-list-types aborted due to compilation
  errors.
  
  Problem Analysis:
  This is a perl compilation error due to undefined
  constants in "cdat-list-types" perl script. The missing
  constants should have been defined in the message file
  "/usr/lib/cdat/messages.pm".
  
  Affected release:
  This problem is detected after upgrading "bos.cdat" to
  release "6.1.6.15" which adds the new constants.
  

Local fix

• Add additional lines to "/usr/lib/cdat/messages.pm" as
  follows. Add these 4 lines at the end of "use constant"
  block just after "use constant MSG_BUSY => 128;"
  
  use constant MSG_MANDATORY => 129;
  use constant MSG_OPTIONAL => 130;
  use constant MSG_DEFAULT => 131;
  use constant MSG_PASSTHROUGH => 132;
  
  and these other 4 lines, at the end of the file just
  after
  "MSG_BUSY);" in the "@EXPORT = qw(" block
  
  MSG_MANDATORY
  MSG_OPTIONAL
  MSG_DEFAULT
  MSG_PASSTHROUGH);
  
  note the two closing characters ");" should come at the
  end of the last constant in the @EXPORT block which now
  is
  "MSG_PASSTHROUGH" and not "MSG_BUSY" anymore.
  

Problem summary

• The perl compilation error resulted since message file
  doesn't shipped in bos.cdat fileset.
  

Problem conclusion

• Ship the message file in bos.cdat fileset.
