Appendix C  Error Messages 

This appendix includes the mapping of X.25 SOCKERRs to protocol module
errors, and the complete table of possible NetIPC errors (SOCKERRs).

In the IPCCHECK intrinsic, both socket errors (SOCKERRs) and the
corresponding protocol module errors ( pmerrs) are returned.  The
following SOCKERRs are mapped to  pmerrs.  Other SOCKERRs can be returned
to NetIPC with a corresponding  pmerr of zero (0).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 46:       UNABLE TO INTERPRET RECEIVED PATH REPORT.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 5 Intrinsics :  IPCCONNECT

CAUSE             Unable to find an X.25 address to call from the remote node name
                  given.

ACTION            Check consistency between configuration file and network directory.
                  In order to map the node name to the X.25 address, both the address
                  key and the IP address are used.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 55:       EXCEEDED PROTOCOL MODULE'S SOCKET LIMIT.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 1 Intrinsic : IPCCREATE

CAUSE             All call socket entries in the X.25 internal tables are in use.

ACTION            Remember to release call sockets when no IPCCONNECT and  IPCRECVCN
                  are expected.

          (cont.) 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MESSAGE           PMERR = 45 Intrinsic : IPCCONNECT

CAUSE             All connection entries in X.25 internal tables are in use.

ACTION            Remember to shut the VC's that are no longer in use.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 65:       CONNECTION ABORTED BY LOCAL PROTOCOL MODULE.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 21 Intrinsic : IPCRECV, IPCSEND, IPCCONTROL

CAUSE             Greater than 30,000 bytes of data was received in a single message.

ACTION            Alter the remote application program to send smaller messages.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 36 Intrinsic : IPCRECV, IPCSEND, IPCCONTROL

CAUSE             The inactivity timer has timed out.

ACTION            Shutdown the connection before re-opening it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 67:       CONNECTION FAILURE DETECTED.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 2 Intrinsic : IPCRECV, IPCSEND, IPCCONTROL

CAUSE             A clear packet has been received.  The remote system or network
                  aborted the connection.

ACTION            Retrieve the cause/diagnostic field with IPCCONTROL (to examine the
                  cause), and issue IPCSHUTDOWN on the virtual circuit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 106:      ADDRESS CURRENTLY IN USE BY ANOTHER SOCKET.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 4 Intrinsic : IPCCREATE

CAUSE             The requested protocol relative address is already used by another
                  process through another  IPCCREATE call.

ACTION            Use another protocol relative address or wait for previous process to
                  release its call socket.

          (cont.) 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 107:      TRANSPORT IS GOING DOWN.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 7 Intrinsic : IPCCREATE, IPCRECV, IPCSEND, IPCCONTROL,
                  IPCRECVCN

CAUSE             A  NETCONTROL STOP command has been issued.  All connections have
                  been aborted.

ACTION            Issue an  IPCSHUTDOWN on all call sockets and virtual circuit
                  sockets.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 116:      DESTINATION UNREACHABLE.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 13 Intrinsic : IPCCONNECT

CAUSE             Outgoing access not allowed.  The destination X.25 address is either
                  not configured in the SVC path table or the security flags do not
                  allow outbound calls to this address.  It could also be a problem
                  with the network directory.

ACTION            Check the configuration of SVC path table security and the network
                  directory.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 117:      ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH CONNECTION FAILED.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 17 Intrinsic : IPCRECV completing IPCCONNECT

CAUSE             A connection could not be opened between the XL node and the DTC.

ACTION            Issue  IPCSHUTDOWN on the virtual circuit, check the DTC XNA card is
                  working, and re-issue IPCCONNECT.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 131:      PROTOCOL MODULE DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT RESOURCES

MESSAGE           PMERR = 52 Intrinsic : IPCCONNECT

CAUSE             The protocol module has run out of buffers.

ACTION            Try again later.  Reduce network load by closing some connections or
                  increase the number of buffers in the configuration.

          (cont.) 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 142       INVALID CALL USER DATA OPT RECORD ENTRY

MESSAGE           PMERR = 51 Intrinsic: IPCSHUTDOWN, IPCCONNECT

CAUSE             Too much call user data has been sent.  The amount is determined by
                  the "no address flag" and use of the fast select facility.  The
                  maximum call user data that can be sent is 128 bytes (with fast
                  select).

ACTION            Send a smaller CUD, use fast select, or use the "no address" option.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 143:      INVALID FACILITIES SET OPT RECORD ENTRY.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 14 Intrinsic : IPCCONNECT

CAUSE             The facility set passed as a parameter has not been found in the
                  internal facility set table.

ACTION            Use one of the facility sets defined in the configuration or add a
                  new one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 146       RESET EVENT OCCURRED ON X.25 CONNECTION.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 10 Intrinsic : IPCRECV

CAUSE             An unsolicited reset packet was received.

ACTION            Use  IPCCONTROL (request 12) to examine the cause/diagnostic field.
                  The connection is still up and operational but some data may have
                  been lost.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 153:      SOCKET IS ALREADY IN USE.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 3 Intrinsic : IPCCREATE

CAUSE             A single socket per network interface can be created with the
                  catch-all capability.

ACTION            Wait for catch-all socket to be released.

          (cont.) 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 156:      INTERRUPT EVENT OCCURRED ON X.25 CONNECTION.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 12 Intrinsic : IPCRECV

CAUSE             An interrupt packet was received.

ACTION            Use  IPCCONTROL (request 12) to get interrupt data.  The connection
                  is still up and operational.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 158:      CONNECTION REQUEST REJECTED BY REMOTE.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 18 Intrinsic : IPCRECV

CAUSE             The outgoing call was rejected either by the local DTC, the network,
                  the remote DTC or the remote host.

ACTION            Use  IPCCONTROL (request 12) to retrieve the cause/diagnostic field.
                  Take action depending on cause/diagnostic using table given.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOCKERR 160:      INCOMPATIBLE WITH PROTOCOL STATE.

MESSAGE           PMERR = 24 Intrinsic : IPCSEND, IPCCONTROL

CAUSE             This connection is currently in the reset state.  Either a reset was
                  sent and the protocol is waiting for a reset confirmation, or a reset
                  has been received.

ACTION            If you issued the reset, then wait and reissue the call later.
                  Otherwise, issue  IPCRECV to complete an incoming reset.
