Miscellaneous Error Identifiers for the Error Log

This category of identifiers contains the following error labels:

CONSOLE         LOST_EVENTS         NLS BADMAP
NLS MAP         OPMSG               PGSP KILL
PPRINTER ERR1   RCMERR              REPLACED FRU
SRC             SYSLOG

Go back to the categories of Error Identifiers.

CONSOLE

Error Description: SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR

This error is logged by the console device driver if an unexpected error occurs when calling another module.

DETAIL DATA

Detecting Module Name of the detecting module.
Failing Module Name of the failing module.
Return Code Return code from the failing module (see sys/errno.h).
Reason Code Unique error indication for the console device driver.

LOST_EVENTS

Error Description: ERROR LOGGING BUFFER OVERFLOW

Probable Causes: EXCESSIVE LOGGING BY SOFTWARE PROGRAM

Install Causes: BUFFER SIZE SET TOO SMALL

Recommended Actions: INCREASE BUFFER SIZE

Failure Causes: EXCESSIVE LOGGING BY SOFTWARE PROGRAM

Recommended Actions: Identify offending software component, correct, then retry offending software component

NLS BADMAP

Error Description: SOFTWARE ERROR: NLS MAP CORRUPTER

This error occurs when the required National Language Support (NLS) map is resident but does not match data from the input stream.

DETAIL DATA

Error Code System error code.
Rule Index Number of the rule in the NLS rule map that failed.
Number Of Rules Number of NLS rules that were not followed.
Map Name NLS map name associated with a particular character set.

NLS MAP

Error Description: SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR

This error occurs when the required National Language Support map is not resident.

DETAIL DATA

Error Code System error code.

OPMSG

Error Description: OPERATOR NOTIFICATION

This error is logged when the errlogger command is run.

DETAIL DATA

Message From errlogger Command
                          The text entered using the errlogger command.

PGSP KILL

Error Description: SOFTWARE PROGRAM ABNORMALLY TERMINATED

DETAIL DATA

Program's Paging Space
                          The program's paging space in 1KB blocks.

PPRINTER ERR1

Error Description: PRINTER ERROR

This error is logged by the printer device driver. The failures recorded by this error log entry are not usually fatal and should occur infrequently.

DETAIL DATA

Sense Data The sense data consists of failure data that is analyzed by the Diagnostic Programs.
Adapter At Address Printer control register address.
Additional Information
                          Information about the data being transferred and the operation being performed.
Device Address Device address.
Generation Parameter
                          Pointer to internal printer structure.

RCMERR

Error Description: SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR

This error is logged by the rendering context manager when an unrecoverable error is detected. These errors are not necessarily catastrophic, and operations may continue; however, the response occurring immediately after the failure may be unpredictable.

DETAIL DATA

Detecting Module Name of the detecting module.
Failing Module Name of the failing module.
Return Code Return code from the failing module (see the sys/errno.h file).
Reason Code Unique error indication for the console device driver.

REPLACED FRU

Error Description: REPAIR ACTION

This error is an informational message logged by the diagnostic programs that indicates that a piece of hardware has been replaced.

SRC

Error Description: SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR

This error is logged by the System Resource Controller daemon in the event of some abnormal condition. Abnormal conditions are divided in three areas: failing subsystems, communication failures, and other failures.

DETAIL DATA

Symptom Code The status returned by the failed subsystem. This is the child process termination status returned in a parameter by the wait subroutine (see sys/wait.h).
Software Error Code
                          The System Resource Controller error number (see srcerrno.h).
Error Code System error number (errno). If the System Resource Controller error number is SRC_ODMERR(-9090), the error code is set to an ODM error (see odmi.h).
Detecting Module Name of the module detecting the error.
Failing Module Name of the failed subsystem or other failing System Resource Controller object.

SYSLOG

Error Description: MESSAGE REDIRECTED FROM syslog

This error may be logged in the system error log by specifying errlog as a destination in /etc/syslog.conf. The syslog daemon redirects the specified messages to the error log.

DETAIL DATA

Syslog Message Text of the syslog message.
