monitor home directory is not valid Explanation: The directory from which the monitor was invoked is no longer valid. Typically, this occurs when the monitor is invoked by the installation IVP procedure, which subsequently deletes the invocation directory. However, this can also occur during day-to-day operations whenever directories are deleted. When the monitor home directory does not exist, the monitor is unable to invoke other server processes, such as the database recovery process ("DBR") or the AIJ Backup Server ("ABS") to name a few. When the monitor home directory does not exist, the server processes will be unable to create temporary work files. User Action: Stop the monitor, and restart it from a valid directory.
