Many of the MPM error messages are self-explanatory. However, there are other messages that we felt could use additional explanation. Those messages are included in this appendix. The messages are listed alphabetically.
Error Message |
Explanation |
||||||
A Global File ID already exists for this path. |
There are six global files for each Global File ID. The names of these six files remain the same regardless of the fact that you assign them a Global File ID. For this reason, each global file ID must exist in a unique directory. Enter a unique path and this error message will no longer display. |
||||||
A user cannot be assigned rights to more than 100 WBS Legs. '###' WBS Legs have been selected for this user. |
This restriction applies when you select specific WBS legs (elements) for a user. The restriction does not apply if you assign the user access to an entire project. If you need to assign specific WBS legs, you may be able to assign a parent rather than its individual children, decreasing the number of WBSs assigned. |
||||||
Access to the system is restricted because there are more users in the system than the number specified in the license. Please contact your system administrator. |
When the License Type is Named User and a non-SYSADMIN user logs in, the number of users logged onto the system is now higher than the number of users specified in the license. |
||||||
Access to the system is restricted to non-SYSADMIN users because there are more users in the system than the number specified in the license. Please delete excess users. |
