Status Code: 508
Message: Cannot write file.
Explanation: This error is caused by one of the following:
◆ The NetBackup-Java user service has attempted to write to a file that does not have
write permissions. The solution is to enable write privileges.
◆ The NetBackup-Java user service has attempted to write to a temporary file whose
unique name cannot be constructed. This condition is unlikely, but could result from
an exhaustion of system resources (from the filling of the name space).
Recommended Action: The specific details may be retrieved from the user service log
files. Enable detailed activity logging as explained under “Enabling Detailed Activity
Logging” on page 74.
Status Code: 509

relating to the creation (or demise) of a child job process. The NetBackup-Java service
programs create separate jobs to accomplish specific tasks, as follows. The
NetBackup-Java authentication service creates the NetBackup-Java user service. Upon
successful creation of and connection to the NetBackup-Java user service, all other child
processes are created by the NetBackup-Java user service on behalf of requests made by
the NetBackup-Java interface.
The cause of status code 509 can be found in the appropriate log file, either for
bpjava-msvc or bpjava-usvc. The cause can be categorized as one of the following:
◆ A job (started by either the NetBackup-Java authentication service or user service) no
longer exists, and did not report its result status.
