Logging Location Codes
Control Process Logging Location Codes
encountered an error trying to initialize the NETIPC Socket Timers
module (PARM = 32-bit status returned by the call to sk_ti_start).
May be preceded by another error from NETIPC, logging the reason for
the original failure.
ACTION: Newer versions of Transport treat this as a fatal error, and
Transport startup will fail. For older versions of Transport this error
was not fatal, and startup will continue, but NETIPC and Sockets will
not work correctly. It is possible Socket Timers encountered an
unreported error during its last shutdown, and exited early without
finishing. Try stopping and restarting transport. If the error still
happens, see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR,” of this manual.
MESSAGE: INTERNAL ERROR; Bad/unknown port message
639 CLAS0002 CAUSE: While waiting for a reply message, NETCP received a message
that was indeed a reply, but the function code in the message was not
the expected value (PARM.(0:16) = the function code that was expected
and PARM.(16:16) = interface code of received message).
ACTION: It is not possible to tell from the console logging what function
code NETCP received, however if disc logging was enabled, the entire
received message was logged, which may aid debugging. The flow of
normal NETCP operations has been interrupted, and a network hang
may be imminent, especially if new :NETCONTROL commands are
issued. It may be necessary to restart the system to clear this problem.
See Appendix A, “Submitting an SR,” of this manual.
MESSAGE: INTERNAL ERROR; Data dictionary error
640 CLAS0002 CAUSE: While attempting to send a reply message back to NETUI to
complete the blocked :NETCONTROL START command that initially
created NETCP, no entry named “NETUI” was found in the CM Port
Dictionary to identify which session port number issued the command
(PARM = 16-bit result code returned by the call to dict_find). Usually
this means the user session which issued the command has somehow
been aborted. The CM Port Dictionary is an operating system lookup
service used by, but not part of, Transport.
ACTION: If a system shutdown was being done, ignore this message.
The network startup or shutdown should run to completion, and other
network operations should continue to work normally. Otherwise, if it
still exists, the user session which issued the command (typically the
system console) may be hung. Since it also owns resources, it cannot be
aborted, and a system restart will be needed to recover. You may
attempt a network stop on another terminal, then restart the system
and restart the network. In some versions of Transport, if this error
occurs NETCP will accidentally send the reply to a random port
number, and the effects of this are indeterminate. If the same problem
happens again, see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR,” of this manual.
