NS3000/iX Error Messages Reference Manual

Chapter 3  NS/NFTERR and NS/NFTWARN Messages 

NFT messages may be distinguished from NFT/3000 messages in the following
way:  bit 2 of the DSCOPY result parameter or of the NFTERR JCW indicates
the appropriate error set (on=NFT/3000; off=generic).  The DSCOPYMSG
intrinsic is able to determine the correct error set.

In the descriptions of the following error messages and warnings, many
references are made to qualifying error-message strings.  These strings
are returned with the Network File Transfer (NFT) errors described below
to further qualify errors that occur.

0            MESSAGE      NO ERRORS WERE DETECTED.

                          created.  If this error occurs while the file
                          producer is in the middle of copying several
                          files, the current file may not have been copied
                          successfully and an attempt will not be made to
                          copy the remainder of the files.

             CAUSE        Indicates that an internal error has occurred.
                          File transfer will continue without tracing.

             ACTION       See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                          manual.

47           MESSAGE      INVALID USE OF STRIP OPTION.

             CAUSE        The STRIP option cannot be used with files that
                          have variable-length records.

             ACTION       Do not use the STRIP option with files having
                          variable-length records.

48           MESSAGE      UNABLE TO ACCESS TARGET FILE/DEVICE.

             CAUSE        An unexpected file system error occurred in
                          accessing the target file.  This may mean that a
                          file equation specified access options which
                          conflict with those desired by NFT.

             ACTION       Verify that the target file is accessible, reset
                          previously given file equations, and specify
                          attributes which do not conflict with those
                          desired by NFT. Also, refer to the qualifying
                          file system error string.

49           MESSAGE      INVALID SOURCE FILE ID.

             CAUSE        The source file name is invalid on the source
                          computer.

             ACTION       Check the source file name syntax and try again.

51           MESSAGE      APPEND NOT SUPPORTED.

             CAUSE        Target mainframe does not support the APP
                          (append) option.

             ACTION       None.

52           MESSAGE      OVERWRITE NOT SUPPORTED.

             CAUSE        Target mainframe does not support the OVER
                          (overwrite) option.

             ACTION       None.

54           MESSAGE      ERROR IN GENERATING LIST OF FILES MATCHING
                          REQUEST.

             CAUSE        An error occurred while a generic source file
                          specification was being processed.

             ACTION       Verify that the generic source file
                          specification does match up with existing files.

57           MESSAGE      INCOMING CONNECTION HAS GONE DOWN.

             CAUSE        An incoming connection to an NFT server program
                          has gone down for an unknown reason.

             ACTION       This error will appear only in a log file.  See
                          "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

58           MESSAGE      MOVE NOT SUPPORTED

             CAUSE        Source mainframe does not support the MOVE
                          option.  The transfer will take place, but the
                          source file will not be purged.

             ACTION       None.

59           MESSAGE      UNABLE TO OPEN CHECKPOINT/RESTART FILE.

             CAUSE        NFT cannot open the file containing the
                          information needed to restart a checkpointed
                          transfer.  This may be caused by the following
                          factors:

                             *   If CHECKPT is specified:  99 restart
                                 files already exist in the group and
                                 account of one of the roles (initiator,
                                 producer, or consumer).

                             *   If RESTART is specified:  the file does
                                 not exist, or is being accessed
                                 exclusively, or the user is logged on to
                                 a different group or account to restart
                                 than when checkpointing.

             ACTION       Be sure there are fewer than 99 restart files in
                          any of the necessary groups and accounts.

                          Determine whether the file exists, and if so,
                          make sure that the file is not being accessed.
                          Also check to make sure that you are logged on
                          as the same user, group, and account number as
                          when checkpointing.

60           MESSAGE      UNABLE TO RETRIEVE RESTART INFORMATION.

             CAUSE        NFT fails to obtain valid information from the
                          checkpointing/restart file and cannot restart
                          the transfer.  An FREAD error may have been
                          received from the restart file, or the restart
                          file may be in an inconsistent state and
                          contains incomplete or invalid data.

             ACTION       The file transfer must be restarted from
                          scratch.

61           MESSAGE      UNABLE TO STORE CHECKPOINT INFORMATION.

             CAUSE        NFT failed to store valid information to the
                          checkpoint/restart file.  This error is returned
                          only if the data transfer portion of the NFT
                          transaction has begun and an FWRITE error to the
                          checkpoint/restart file has occurred.

             ACTION       Attempt to restart the transfer.  If this fails
                          consistently, there may be a problem with the
                          file system.  See "Submitting an SR" in appendix
                          A of this manual.

62           MESSAGE      UNABLE TO RESTART TRANSFER.

             CAUSE        NFT attempted to restart a generic transfer and
                          was unable to open the generic listf file, i.e.,
                          the file which contains the list of files to be
                          transferred.  This would occur if the file is
                          opened exclusively or has been purged.

             ACTION       Make sure that the generic listf file (GENSETn)
                          exists in the producer's group and account and
                          is not accessed exclusively.

63           MESSAGE      SOURCE AND TARGET CHECKPOINTS DO NOT MATCH.

             CAUSE        A restart has been attempted and the producer
                          and consumer checkpoints do not match.  The
                          checkpoint restart file has been corrupted, or a
                          serious internal NFT error has occurred.

             ACTION       Restart the transfer from scratch.  If the
                          problem persists, see "Submitting an SR" in
                          appendix A of this manual.

64           MESSAGE      UNABLE TO INITIATE CHECKPOINTING.

             CAUSE        This warning is issued for any one of the
                          following reasons:

                             *   A checkpoint/restart file cannot be
                                 opened or created.

                             *   The restart ID file cannot be opened or
                                 created.

                             *   The information cannot be written to the
                                 checkpoint/restart file, the generic
                                 listf file, or the restart ID file.

                             *   Checkpointing is being attempted on a
                                 circular file, a message file, or a
                                 variable length record file in
                                 interchange mode.

                             *   Checkpointing is being attempted to a
                                 node which does not support
                                 checkpointing.

             ACTION       After the warning is issued, the file transfer
                          will continue with no checkpointing taking
                          place.  You may wish to abort the transfer.

65           MESSAGE      CHECKPOINTING WILL NOT BE DONE FOR LOCAL
                          TRANSFERS.

             CAUSE        Checkpointing has been specified for a transfer
                          for which the producer and consumer environments
                          are equivalent, i.e., their group, account, and
                          node name are the same.

             ACTION       Transfer will continue with no checkpointing.
                          You may wish to abort the transfer.

66           MESSAGE      FOUND END OF FILE MARK IN TARGET FILE, TRANSFER
                          STOPPED.

             CAUSE        Use of the FSIZE option has resulted in a target
                          file too small to hold the source file.  After
                          the target file is full, the transfer is
                          stopped.

             ACTION       None.

67           MESSAGE      TARGET FILE BLOCK SIZE BEING CHANGED DUE TO FILE
                          SYSTEM DIFFERENCES.

             CAUSE        The block size for the Native Mode KSAM file has
                          changed because of the file system differences.

             ACTION       None.
