Error management

Errors passing arguments

This type of message is generated:

Lack 'PG_SID' parameter, Usage: sqwpg_DumpAllDatabases.ksh [-h]  -I instance [+ options]
For full help : sqwpg_DumpAllDatabases.ksh -h

If you are connecting through a terminal, no mail will be sent and you will have more this kind of message:

Not sending mail because you are in connected mode !!!
Lack 'PG_SID' parameter

If you are not connected to a terminal, the error message appears and is sent by mail to the address contained in the variable $gvsqw_GlobalMail (See help customize this variable). The subject line will always start by "$gvsqw_MailMsg_postgres : " (See help customize this variable).

Execution errors

Whether you are or not connected to a terminal, the error message appears and an email containing a summary of treatment errors is sent to the address contained in the variable $gvsqw_Mail_postgres (See help customize this variable). The subject line will always start by "$gvsqw_MailMsg_postgres : " (See help customize this variable).
