Description

1000

Rc: %d, Missing, corrupted or empty registry entry, for: '%s\%s\%s’

Pipelines could not find the specified registry entry. Try re-installing Pipelines to fix the problem.

1001

No stage DLLs have been found. Cannot run Pipelines!

Pipelines could not find any stage DLLs in either the builtin loadlib or the user loadlib. Try re-installing Pipelines to fix the problem.

1002

Closing command-line quote missing, '"', expected

A closing quotation mark is missing from the Pipelines argument.

1003

Pipelines file: '%s', not found or failed to open, Rc: %d, Reason: %s.

The pipeline file could not be found or failed to open. Check that the spelling of the file is correct and if the file is not in the current working directory, you should specify a fully qualified path.

1004

File: %s, is invalid. Command 'PIPE', expected.

Pipelines expects the first word in a Pipelines file to be: pipe.

1005

Stall detected, writing dump to: %s

The pipeline has stalled. Usually, stalls are caused by stages that read multiple input streams in a particular order or that need records to be available on more than one stream at the same time. A stall occurs when the preceding stages do not deliver records in the order needed or do not provide multiple records concurrently. Pipelines issues this message and the current status of each stage is written to the specified stall-file. The stall-file is written to the current working directory.

Inspect the file to determine the combination of stages that caused the stall.

1006

Pipe(%s),Stage(%d), Null stage found, command expected.

Pipelines expects the name of a stage. This error message may be issued because there are no stages specified at all, or because you have specified two or more consecutive stage separator characters. Pipelines expects a stage command, followed by a stage separator followed by a stage command and so on.

1007

A required argument is missing. The message explains what Pipelines expects.

1015

Pipe(%s): Invalid %s option: '%s', %s expected.

The specified argument is invalid. The message explains what Pipelines expects.

On %s. Return code from WaitForMultipleObjects(): %d.

The operating system reported an error whilst waiting for the specified thread set to complete. Try running the pipeline again and if the problem persists; contact TenFiftyTwo.

1017

On %s dispatch. Rc: %d, Reason: %s.

The operating system reported an error whilst trying to dispatch the specified thread. The combined number of threads for dispatch may be more than the system can load at this time; you should first review the number of stages specified by the pipeline and if this is not significant, try running the pipeline again. If the problem persists; contact TenFiftyTwo.

1018

Unused.

1019

Unused.

1020

In this position, Type(%s) allows: %d input stream(s). There are: %d defined.

Connection(s) from: (Pipe,Stage,Stream): %s are invalid!

The connections for the specified pipeline/stage/stream cannot be made because the stage does not read from more than a certain number of input streams. Or, the target stage or stages do not write to the corresponding output streams.

1026

Stage type(%s), requires a %s output stream.

The stage requires the specified output stream to be defined and connected. Without the connection the stage cannot run.

1027

Invalid output stream(s): %s, for Pipe(%s),Stage(%d),Type(%s).

In this position, Type(%s) allows: %d output stream(s). There are: %d defined.

Connection(s) to: (Pipe,Stage,Stream): %s are invalid!

1029

Pipe(%s),Stage(%d): Unassigned argument(s) '%s'

The argument place-holder: &argn has not been assigned; there is no corresponding command-line argument. The message is issued in order to identify a stage argument which corresponds to an argument place-holder, but which may or may not be intended as one.

9999

Request made by: Pipe(%s),Stage(%d),Type(%s) to issue %s message no: %d failed, message not found!.

The specified stage has tried to issue a message which is not defined. Pipelines assumes that the message was to indicate a critical error and terminates the pipeline.

Character 1

Meaning

(I)nitialising

The message was issued during the initialisation phase; parsing the stage arguments and allocating the necessary resources.

(R)untime

The message was issued while the stage was running; processing its input and output streams. In addition to the standard format; the message includes the current input stream and record number.

Character 2

Meaning

(W)arning
