SDLC Link Startup Error Messages
SDLC Link Startup Error Messages
Listed below are the messages that might occur when you are starting
the SDLC link. These messages occur when the SNACONTROL START
command calls the WAN_Module_Config procedure and encounters an
error. Depending on the logging configuration for the SDLC Link
subsystem, these messages are logged to the console, to disk, or both.
The messages are logged in this format:
Linkname = LinkName Event Type = EventType
Log Class = LogClass Path = Path
Error Num = ErrorNumber Status = Status
(Note that LinkName is the same as the name of the node.) The
messages are listed below in numerical order according to
ErrorNumber .
1 MESSAGE: The link type is not SDLC or LAP-B or RJEBSC.
CAUSE: The caller of this module did not set the link type to SDLC,
LAP-B, or RJE BSC. For an SDLC link, the link type must be set to
SDLC.
ACTION: Write down the error information displayed on the console and
call your Hewlett-Packard support contact.
2 MESSAGE: Could not open NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
CAUSE: The configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS was purged or
renamed.
ACTION: Restore the file from a backup tape and try to start the SDLC
link again.
CAUSE: The configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS might be opened with
exclusive access.
ACTION: Wait for the program or process that has this file opened
exclusively to close it.
3 MESSAGE: Link data not found in NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
CAUSE: The link data was not found in the configuration file
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
ACTION: Use NMMGR to create the link data for the link you are trying
to start (use the “SNA Node Configuration: SDLC Link Data” screen),
and try to start the SDLC link again.
4 MESSAGE: Could not close NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
CAUSE: The configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS could not be closed.
This did not prevent the link from starting, but it is worth noting
