Error and Informational Messages

The following topics describe TMA TCP for CICS messages:

 


Messages Returned to the Remote Gateway

Most of the messages produced from BEA Tuxedo Mainframe for TCP (CICS) (hereafter referenced as TMA TCP for CICS) are sent back to the remote TMA TCP gateway and written to the ULOG on that system.

Message

Description

BEA TMA TCP for CICS server process initiated.

The Handler process has been started.

Welcome to BEA TMA TCP for MVS/CICS.

The connect process has completed successfully.

Goodbye.

The disconnect process has completed successfully.

Service svcname not found.

The requested service was not found in the inbound service name file.

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 TMA TCP for CICS gateway but has not yet established a login connection. (The connection request protocol was never sent.)

BEA TMA TCP MVS/CICS server is active.

This message is returned to the remote Tuxedo gateway when a PING request is sent to the TMA TCP for CICS gateway from the tmadmin administration tool.

Invalid password.

The password specified in the TMA TCP gateway configuration file does not match the password specified when the CICS supplied listener was configured.

Invalid client account.

The account code specified in the TMA TCP gateway configuration file does not match the account code specified when the CICS supplied listener was configured.

Sorry-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 TMA TCP gateway 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 TMA TCP gateway configuration file for a transaction code that is unknown to CICS.

Application Handler abnormally terminated.

The Application Handler terminated prior to completing the service request. This message usually occurs when a service has timed out. Verify that you are not expecting a reply from a service that does not send one.

Requested Service timed out.

The requested service did not complete within the time provided in the message header from the remote Tuxedo gateway.

Unable to start another session.

The Handler is already processing the maximum number of service requests configured as the multiplex count.

Unable to start transaction.

Error occurred in Application Handler.

The Application Handler encountered a CICS error.

Security error occurred in Application Handler.

Messages Written to the TMA TCP for CICS Log

Occasionally, messages are written directly to the CICS log configured specifically for TMA TCP for CICS. For more information about configuring the CICS log, refer to the Configuring and Administering BEA TMA TCP for CICS section.
