Interpret error codes

Use the pidiag utility to interpret any error codes included in the message logs.

To display the error message, enter:

pidiag -e errorcode

where errorcode is the error number displayed in the message log. Error code values may be positive or negative.

For example, if the error code is -11137, enter:

pidiag -e -11137

[-11137] Primary archive is Read-only. Archiving and archive shifts disabled.

You can also use the pidiag utility to translate operating system error codes, which are always positive numbers.
