If an error occurs during the installation process, the system displays an error message that instructs you on how to handle the error. Three types of general errors occur—validation errors, operational errors, and database installation errors. Validation errors may occur when you enter incorrect data into a system field or leave a required field empty. Operational errors may occur during installation processes such as copying files to a disk, creating directories, configuring HxGN EAM, and performing other miscellaneous tasks. When validation and operational errors occur, the system displays an error message and stays on the page, allowing you to rectify the problem and resume the installation. Database installation errors (both fatal and non-fatal) may occur when the system attempts to create database files, create users, grant privileges, configure seed data, or run scripts. The system captures database installation errors in the corresponding log file. After installation is complete, examine the log file in the log directory you created in the previous section for errors.
