Appendix A . Error and Informational Messages

Most of the messages produced from Connect TCP for CICS are sent back to the remote TUXEDO Connect TPS Gateway and written to the ULOG on that system. Occasionally, messages are written directly to the CICS log configured specifically for Connect TCP for CICS. (See Chapter 4, "Configuring BEA Connect TCP for CICS," for more information on configuring the CICS log.)

Messages Returned to the Remote Gateway


Message	Description
`BEA Connect for CICS server process initiated.`	The Handler process has been started.
`Welcome to BEA Connect MVS/CICS.`	The connect process has completed successfully.
`Goodbye.`	The disconnect process has completed successfully.
`Client has already logged in.`	A client process has attempted to establish a connection when a connection already existed. (The connection request protocol was resent.)
`Client has not logged in.`	A client process has made a request to the Connect TCP for CICS gateway but has not yet established a login connection. (The connection request protocol was never sent.)
`BEA Connect MVS/CICS server is active.`	This message is returned to the remote TUXEDO gateway when a PING request is sent to the Connect TCP for CICS gateway from the tmadmin administration tool.
`Invalid password.`	The password specified in the Connect TPS configuration file does not match the password specified when the CICS supplied listener was configured.
`Invalid client account.`	The account code specified in the Connect TPS configuration file does not match the account code specified when the CICS supplied listener was configured.
`System Resource is protected by CICS.`	The mode command was executed through the tmadmin tool on TUXEDO and the administrative request specified is not available in the CICS region.
`Data too long, please check message header.`	A message received is larger than the maximum allowable message length.
`Data too short, please check message header.`	A message was received and was smaller than the smallest expected message.
`Message header is incorrect.`	An invalid protocol header was received. This can occur if there was a transmission error or if a message was sent to the gateway without having gone through the Connect TPS Gateway on the remote TUXEDO node.
`This transaction is not defined in CICS.`	A CICS transaction code was mapped to a service name in the Connect TPS configuration file for a transaction code that is unknown to CICS.

Messages Written to the BEA Connect CICS Log


Message	Description

`Load Control Failed RESP=hexcode RESP2=hexcode`	A CICS LOAD PROGRAM command failed. The Handler was unable to load the control programs OTPCICS01 or OTPCICS02.
`Start Task Failed RESP=hexcode RESP2=hexcode`	A CICS START command failed when the Handler tried to issue a START on the specified user program.
`Link Program Failed RESP=hexcode RESP2=hexcode`	A CICS LINK command failed. The Handler was unable to LINK to the specified user program.
`GETMAIN Failed RESP=hexcode RESP2=hexcode`	The CICS GETMAIN command failed.
`TAKESOCKET Failed RC=rc ERRNO=errno`	The Connect TCP Handler was unable to take control of the TCP/IP socket.
`Socket SELECT Failed RC=rc ERRNO=errno`	The Sockets SELECT function failed.
`Socket READ Failed RC=rc ERRNO=errno`	An error was encountered while attempting to read from the active socket.
`Socket SEND Failed RC=rc ERRNO=errno`	An error was encountered while issuing a send over the active socket.
`Client connected successfully.`	The client request is allowed because the account and password codes are authorized to use the Connect TCP Gateway.
`BEA Connect Server CTOS is shutting down.`	The Connect TPS Handler is shutting down.
`Verifying User Account.`	The Handler is verifying that the account and password codes supplied by Connect TPS on the remote TUXEDO Gateway are valid.
`Unauthorized Client Rejected.`	The client request will not be allowed because the account and/or password codes were not authorized.
