Processing main cause errors and sympathetic errors in devices in a system
First Claim
1. A computer program product for handling errors in a system having devices, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that executes to cause operations, the operations comprising:
- analyzing error data for the devices in the system to determine a detected main cause error for one of the devices that causes at least one sympathetic error in the system;
generating a first main cause event object for the main cause error;
generating at least one sympathetic event object for the determined at least one sympathetic error resulting from the main cause error, wherein the at least one sympathetic event object indicates a sympathetic event action to perform for the sympathetic error represented by the sympathetic event object;
determining from the at least one sympathetic event object at least one sympathetic event action to perform for the at least one sympathetic error;
performing the determined at least one sympathetic event action to recover from the at least one sympathetic error represented by the at least one sympathetic event object providing the at least one sympathetic event action, wherein the first main cause and sympathetic event objects are generated for the detected main cause error at the device in order to perform recovery operations to address the detected main cause error;
transmitting, by the system, information indicating the main cause error to a remote system having devices;
generating, by the remote system, a second main cause event object for the transmitted main cause error, the second main cause event object comprising a remote main cause error; and
analyzing, by the remote system, error data for the devices at the remote system to determine whether there is at least one sympathetic error at the devices in the remote system resulting from the remote main cause error.

Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for processing main cause errors and sympathetic errors in devices in a system. Error data for the devices in the system are analyzed to determine a main cause error for one of the devices that cause at least one sympathetic error in the system. A main cause event object for the determined main cause error and at least one sympathetic event object for the determined at least one sympathetic error resulting from the main cause error are generated. A determination is made from the at least one sympathetic event object of at least one sympathetic event action to perform. The determined at least one sympathetic event action is performed to recover from the at least one sympathetic error represented by the at least one sympathetic event object providing the at least one sympathetic event action.

13. A system having devices, comprising:
-
a first system, comprising; a processor; and a computer readable storage medium having code executed by the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising; analyzing error data for the devices in the first system to determine a detected main cause error for one of the devices that causes at least one sympathetic error in the system; generating a first main cause event object for the determined main cause error; generating at least one sympathetic event object for the determined at least one sympathetic error resulting from the main cause error, wherein the at least one sympathetic event object indicates a sympathetic event action to perform for the sympathetic error represented by the sympathetic event object; determining from the at least one sympathetic event object at least one sympathetic event action to perform for the at least one sympathetic error; performing the determined at least one sympathetic event action to recover from the at least one sympathetic error represented by the at least one sympathetic event object providing the at least one sympathetic event action, wherein the first main cause event object and the at least one sympathetic event objects are generated for the detected main cause error at the device in order to perform recovery operations to address the detected main cause error; a second system in communication with the first system; wherein the first system transmits information indicating the main cause error to the second system having devices; wherein the second system performs operations, the operations comprising; generating a second main cause event object for the transmitted main cause error, the second main cause event object comprising a remote main cause error to the second system; and analyzing error data for the devices at the second system to determine whether there are sympathetic errors at the devices in the second system resulting from the remote main cause error. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
