Preface
Purpose of this Manual
This manual provides probable causes and recommended actions for error messages generated by Oracle Enterprise ManagerTM and its components, including the optional management packs.
Audience
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Messages Manual is written for those who use Oracle Enterprise Manager to perform system administration tasks and who are familiar with the tasks they wish to perform. If you are not familiar with database administration tasks, refer to the Oracle Server documentation set.
If you have not read Part 1 of the Oracle Server Administrator's Guide, it is recommend that you do so. These chapters describe the basic responsibilities of a database administrator.
This manual also assumes that you are familiar with your operating system. If necessary, refer to your operating system documentation.
Note:
For an overview of Oracle Enterprise Manager, see the Oracle Enterprise Manager Concepts Guide and the Oracle Enterprise Manager Quick Tour.
How This Manual Is Organized
All error messages documented in this manual contain prefixes consisting of three or more letters and a number, for example:
VNI-2002: File operation error
Error messages in this manual are listed alphabetically by message prefix and numerically by message number within each chapter. Each chapter covers one or more prefix. Messages can be found by searching for them alphabetically in the manual, or by looking in the Index.
