DBA Message ID Message Explanation User Response

DBA5006E

evname is an Event Monitor that writes to a named pipe. Event Analyzer does not support PIPE Event Monitors.

The Event Analyzer only handles traces produced by FILE Event Monitors.

Use a FILE Event Monitor.

DBA5007E

Event Monitor event-monitor does not exist.

The Event Monitor names specified with the -evm option could not be found in the catalogs for the database specified with the -db option. The Event Monitor may have been dropped or you may be trying to connect to the wrong database.

Make sure that the Database alias specified with the -db is properly cataloged and that the Event Monitor has not been dropped. If the latter is the case, re-create the event monitor.

DBA5250I

The number of records retrieved exceeded the limits of the window. A partial list is displayed.

The window height required to display the retrieved objects exceeds a system limit.

You can reduce the number of objects displayed in the window by doing the following:
  • If the “Include” choice is available on the “View” menu, you can specify a subset of the objects to display in the window. When you select “Include”, a window appears and prompts you for a sub set of the criteria.

DBA5300E

Event Analyzer invocation error. Usage: db2eva [ - db database-alias -evm evmon-name ]
The command parameters for the db2eva command are:
-db database-alias
specifies the database for which the Event Monitor is defined, as cataloged on the machine where the trace is analyzed.
-evm evmon-name
the Event Monitor trace tables you want to analyze. The event monitor must be defined in the database specified in the -db parameter.

If you specify the database and event monitor names, db2eva connects to the database, and issues a 'select target from sysibm.syseventmonitors' to locate the table where the Event Monitor writes its trace. The Event Monitor and related tables must not have been dropped when using this mode.

If you do not specify any parameter, a dialog box will be opened to prompt for the database alias and the event monitor name you want to analyze.

Re-issue the command with valid arguments.

DBA5311E

Event Monitor invocation error. Usage: db2emcrt database-alias

The command parameter for the db2emcrt command is:

database-alias
specifies the database for which the event monitors are to be created or analyzed, as cataloged on the machine the db2emcrt command is invoked. database-alias overrides the database name specified in the trace.

Re-issue the command with valid arguments.

DBA5350E

An error occurred while opening file file-name.

The specified file could not be opened in read-only mode for an unknown cause.

Check the spelling of the directory specified by the -path option, its access authority, and that it contains a non-empty, readable trace file called 00000000.evt.

NOTE: The first trace file for an Event Monitor is always named 00000000.evt and cannot be renamed.

DBA5351E

File file-name cannot be found.

There is no 00000000.evt file in the directory specified by -path.

Check the spelling of the directory specified by the -path option, its access authority, and that it contains the trace file 00000000.evt.

NOTE: The first trace file for an Event Monitor is always named 00000000.evt and cannot be renamed.

DBA5352E

Path path-name cannot be found.

The -path option specifies a directory that does not exist.

Check the spelling of the directory specified by the -path option, its access authority, and that it contains the trace file 00000000.evt.

NOTE: The first trace file for an Event Monitor is always named 00000000.evt and cannot be renamed.

DBA5353E

Access to param-1 was denied.

The specified file could not be opened in read-only mode. The -path option may be specifying a directory to which you do not have sufficient access authority.

  • Check the access authority to the directory specified by the -path option.
  • Verify that no one has locked the specified file in exclusive mode.

DBA5354E

The data cannot be read from file-name.

The Event Monitor trace file contains unexpected data, or cannot be accessed.

The trace file was likely corrupted during transmission or has been removed.

Transmit your trace files from your server again. When transmitting trace files from a remote server, ensure that the transmission is done in binary mode.

DBA5355E

An Event Monitor log header could not be found in file-name.
The first file written to by an Event Monitor is named 00000000.evt and contains a data structure that identifies the trace characteristics. This data structure could not be read. Possible causes:
  • The trace file was corrupted.
  • The trace file is empty. This can happen if the Event Monitor is active but, has not flushed its buffers yet.
  • If the trace was transmitted from a remote server, retransmit, ensuring that the transmission is done in binary mode.
  • If the trace file is empty, turn off the Event Monitor to force it to flush its buffer.

DBA5356E

Byte order not valid in file-name.

The Event Monitor log header (the first record written to a new trace) specifies whether the trace contains little-endian or big-endian (e.g., AIX) data. The value found in the trace file specified neither of these two supported types of data.

The trace file was likely corrupted during transmission.

Transmit your trace files from your server again. When transmitting trace files from a remote server, ensure that the transmission is done in binary mode.

DBA5357E

Unexpected data was found at offset offset-value in file file-name.

The Event Monitor trace file contains unexpected data.

The trace file was likely corrupted during transmission.

Retransmit your trace files from the server, ensuring that the transmission is done in binary mode.

DBA5358I

Cannot browse local file system without an active local Administration Server.

The file browser requires a Database Administration Server (DAS) instance to browse file systems. If this is a client installation, the DAS instance is not present and local file browsing is disabled.

For server installations, ensure the DAS instance is started and retry the operation.

DBA5500E

A system error has occurred. The Event Analyzer tool could not continue processing.

For an unknown reason a system error has occurred when trying to initialize the application environment.

Re-issue the command.

DBA5510E

When trying to activate the monitor, the directory for its data files was not found.

When activating an event monitor, the directory that was specified when the event monitor was created must exist. In order to flush its buffers, an event monitor needs an existing file and path.

Create the directory that was specified when creating the event monitor. Try to activate the event monitor again.

DBA5511E

Entry name is not valid because the value is out of the acceptable range.

The values for an event monitor's Maximum file size, Maximum number of files, and Buffer size must be between 1 and 2,147,483,647.

Enter a value in the entry fields that is within the given range.
