Unrecognized target - the Dump/Load Data Base was needed but
did not contain an entry for the specified target.
Channel in wrong state
- the channel is not in a state where a
load operation can be done.
File-indicator
- the indication of which file a file error relates
to. Not meaningful for non-file related errors. One of:
Load file
Secondary loader
Tertiary loader
Function:
Requests a down-line load of the local system. This is the
communications
channel equivalent of a system loading itself from
local mass storage. Note that only one self-load can be in
progress at a time.
If a second request is made before a previous
one completes, the new request simply replaces the old one. This
function is a call to the Dump/Load Requester.
Inputs:
Channel-id
- the unique identification of the channel on which the
load is to be done.
Destination-address
- the identification of the systen-1 that is to
assist in the load. Applicable only on multiaccess channels.
If
the address is applicable but not specified, the load will be
taken from whatever system is able to help (for further details,
see operation section).
System-processor
- the processor type of the local system. If not
specified, the assisting system must assume a type. Defined types
are in Appendix A.
Software-id
- the type of software desired. If not specified, the
assisting system must assume a type.
Other-info
- further, implementation-specific information. Zero
or more other-info parameters may be included, each consisting of:
Parameter-id
- identification of the parameter.
Identifications are related to the standard parameters (e.g.
. communications-processor, system-bus) on an
implementation-specific basis.
Parameter-value
- the value of the parameter.
