Interpreting APRI Errors

Table 1-2 describes possible errors and corrective actions if an error

occurs during a call to APRI.

Table 1-2 APRI Call Errors

APRI Call Reason Corrective Action

ap_open() Incorrect installation or OTS

stack is not up.

Run otsstat to see if

OTS stack is up. Run

otsstart to start OTS

stack.

ap_set_env() Incorrect address speciﬁed.

(parameter ap_my_psap)

Recheck the value of

ap_my_psap.

ap_poll() Time out (osidiag defaults to

30 seconds for indication or

conﬁrmation).

Increase time if needed.

Unanticipated primitive

(osidiag received an

indication it did not expect.)

Check osidiag display

immediately after the

call to ap_poll().

ap_rcv(A_PABORT_IND) Incorrect remote address. Recheck remote

address; check that local

NSAP is on same subnet

as the destination

system.

ap_rcv(A_ABORT_IND) The application on top of the

Presentation layer detected

some problem. An abort may

also be sent by the HP

provider if the speciﬁed

address is valid, but no

process is currently accepting

connections.

Examine the output of

the remote application

for further information

as to why the abort was

sent.
