Chapter 63 NSDS (NonStop Directory Services) Messages

Table of Contents

APS Error Codes

The messages in this chapter are sent by the NonStop Directory Services (NSDS) subsystem that provides an X.500 standard directory service. The subsystem ID displayed by these messages includes NSDS as the subsystem name.

NOTE: Negative-numbered messages are common to most subsystems. If you receive a negative-numbered message that is not described in this chapter, see Chapter 15.


1

managername DSA SC Process eventsubject: terminateinfo

managername

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem.

eventsubject

identifies the event subject or subjects.

terminateinfo

identifies the reason for the termination. The DSA storage-component process is about to terminate itself or is being terminated by the operating system. The possible causes and their associated meanings are as follows:

Termination CauseMeaning
Process calls exitSTOPPED
Process calls abortABORTED
Instruction failure trapInstruction Failure
Arithmetic overflow trapArithmetic Overflow
Illegal address reference trapIllegal Address Reference
Stack overflow trapStack Overflow
Loop-timer timeout trapLoop-timer Timeout
Termination requestTermination Request

Cause  The DSA storage-component process terminated. The termination cause is indicated in the message as terminateinfo.

Effect  If the termination is due to an error reported in a previous operator message, investigate the problem associated with the error. Usually, a new process instance is started immediately to take over. If a restart is successful, a message announcing the restart is issued.

Recovery  None. The NUMSTATIC parameter in the Pathway server class configuration establishes the number of DSA storage-component processes that run continuously. During normal processing, additional DSA storage-component processes are dynamically started to handle any increased load and then stopped when they are no longer needed. NSDS generates an operator message 1 each time one such additional processes is stopped. If you receive a great number of these operator messages, you might want to increase the value of NUMSTATIC.



2

managername DSA SC Process eventsubject: STARTED

managername

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem..

eventsubject

identifies the event subject or subjects.

Cause  The DSA storage-component process is started and is ready for use.

4

managername DSA SC Process eventsubject: Out of Memory

managername

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem.

eventsubject

identifies the event subject or subjects.

Cause  The DSA storage-component process ran out of available memory. An internal resource management problem is the most likely cause.

Effect  This error may prevent NSDS from functioning. The system might be able to correct the situation itself, or it may subsequently fail; in this case, additional messages are issued.

Recovery  None. If no operator message 1 is reported for the same eventsubject following this operator message, the process successfully recovered from the error. If, however, an additional operator message 1 is reported for the same eventsubject, the process terminated. In this case, an operator message 2 is issued, indicating that a new process has been started.



5

managername

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem.

eventsubject

identifies the event subject or subjects.

addlinfo

indicates any additional information about the error.

Cause  The DSA storage-component process encountered an internal error or unexpected logic error.

Effect  This error may lead to subsequent process failure. In this case, additional messages are issued.

Recovery  None. If no operator message 1 is reported for the same eventsubject following this operator message, the process successfully recovered from the error. If, however, an additional operator message 1 is reported for the same eventsubject, the process terminated. In this case, an operator message 2 is issued, indicating that a new process has been started. Contact the the Global Mission Critical Solution Center (GMCSC).

identifies the event subject or subjects.

Cause  The requester process died unexpectedly, and the access process was able to detect this condition.

Effect  None.

Recovery  None. This is an informational message.

Other Considerations. The requester of the chaining process is the DSA storage-component process, so this message may signal a problem with the DSA storage-component process.

Effect  If the termination is due to an error reported in a previous operator message, investigate the problem associated with the error. Usually, a new process instance is started immediately to take over. If a restart is successful, a message announcing the restart is issued.

Recovery  None. The NUMSTATIC parameter in the Pathway server class configuration establishes the number of view access processes that run continuously. During normal processing, additional view access processes are dynamically started to handle any increased load and then stopped when they are no longer needed. NSDS generates an operator message 1 each time one such additional processes is stopped. If you receive a great number of these operator messages, you might want to increase the value of NUMSTATIC.



502

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem.

eventsubject

identifies the event subject or subjects.

Cause  The view access process maintains resources on behalf of a client process. If the connection with that client is lost, the view access process releases all resources. This event is issued when such forced closure of connections occurs. Possible cause include one or more of the following:

  • TCP/IP terminated

  • A problem occurred in the TCP/IP stack.

  • A problem occurred within a remote work station.

  • A physical loss of link occurred.

Effect  None.

Recovery  None. This is an informational message.

Other Consideations. Check the relevant Tandem processes, the physical link, and the remote work station to find the source of the connection loss.



551

managername View Listener Process eventsubject: PORT portnumber is in-use by another process

managername

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem.

eventsubject

identifies the event subject or subjects.

portnumber

identifies the port number assigned to the TCP/IP port.

Cause  The view listener process tried to listen on a port that another process is monitoring.

Effect  The view listener process cannot function. Thus, no NSDS Viewer client process can bind to the directory that has this view listener process configured as a listener.

Recovery  Take either of the following actions:

  • Change the port number configured for the view listener process and restart the process.

  • Stop the process that is currently listening on the specified port.



552

managername View Listener Process eventsubject: PORT portnumber is in-use by this process

managername

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem.

eventsubject

identifies the event subject or subjects.

portnumber

identifies the port number assigned to the TCP/IP port.

Cause  The view listener process is now successful in listening on the configured port.

Effect  The view listener process is now functional: an NSDS Viewer client process can bind to the directory by means of this view listener process.

Recovery  None. This message is an acknowledgement that the the necessary task has been performed.



553

managername View Listener Process eventsubject: Pathsend Error filesyserror to View Access server.

managername

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem.

eventsubject

identifies the event subject or subjects.

filesyserror

indicates the Pathsend error. For a list of Pathsend errors, see the NonStop TS/MP Pathsend and Server Programming Manual. (Before the D30.02 release, this information was contained in the Pathway Application Programming Guide.)

Cause  The view listener process attempted to send a Pathsend request to the view access server process. The attempt failed. Possible reasons for the failure include:

  • The view access process is not started.

  • The maximum number of view access servers allowed are currently running and busy servicing other clients. The maximum number of allowed servers is determined by the MAXSERVERS parameter specified during PATHMON configuration.

Effect  No NSDS Viewer client process can connect to the directory.

Recovery  If the view access process is not running, it should be started.

If the MAXSERVERS limit had been exceeded, the user should continue to issue Connect requests at the PC until a server becomes available. If this problem recurs, specify a higher value for MAXSERVERS in the PATHMON configuration.



901

Operator attention need for eventsubject please , event number: 901 , action ID: actionID , manager: managername

eventsubject

identifies the name of the alternate collector process.

actionID

identifies the action ID for this request. It is used to associate this request with the corresponding Operator Attention Completed operator message (NSDS operator message 902).

managername

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem.

Cause  The NSDS subsystem failed to write an accounting event to the alternate collector process because the alternate collector process is not available.

Effect  Accounting events are discarded until the alternate collector process is started.

Recovery  Restart the alternate collector process.



902

Operator attention completed for eventsubject thank you , event number: 902 , action ID: actionID , manager: managername

eventsubject

identifies the name of the alternate collector process.

actionID

identifies the action ID that was specified in the original Operator Action Needed request (NSDS operator message 901).

managername

identifies the name of the Pathmon process that manages the NSDS subsystem.

Cause  The alternate collector is available again, and the NSDS subsystem is logging accounting events to it.

Effect  Accounting events are once again collected.

Recovery  None. This message is an acknowledgement that the operator has performed the required task.



1001

Bind attempt: result, direction protocol, AssocID: assocID.

result

indicates whether the association attempt was successful. The values are either Success or Failure.

direction

indicates whether the local system is the association initiator or responder. Inbound signifies that the local system is the responder. Outbound signifies that the local system is the initiator.

protocol

indicates the protocol used for this association. Values are either DAP or DSP.

assocID

is the correlation identifier that identifies this particular association. It is displayed only when a Bind attempt is successful.

The correlation identifier value also appears in operator messages 1002 and 1003. This value allows you to correlate specific operations described in operator message 1003 with a specific association.

A correlation identifier uniquely identifies an association only for the duration of that association. The same identifier value can be reused repeatedly for other associations at later times.

Cause  A requesting process has attempted to establish an association by means of a Bind operation. For inbound requests (in which a local process is the responder), NSDS generates this message because:

  • A local XDS application that incorporates the DUA library attempted to bind to a DSA storage-component process and access the local DIB.

  • A remote DUA or DSA , using the services of the DSA access process, attempted to bind to a DSA storage-component process and establish an association.

For outbound requests (in which a remote process is the responder), NSDS generates this message because a DSA storage-component process has attempted to bind to a remote DSA through the DSA chaining process.

Effect  None.

Recovery  None. This is a informational accounting message.



1002

UNBIND: normal, AssocId: assocID.

assocID

is the correlation identifier that identifies this particular association. A correlation identifier uniquely identifies an association only for the duration of that association. The same identifier value can be reused repeatedly for other associations at later times.

Cause  The association (specified by AssocID) has ended by means of an Unbind operation.

Effect  None.

Recovery  This is a informational accounting message.

optype: result size was resultsize bytes in responseentries entries. AssocID: AssocID.

optype

identifies the Directory Access Protocol (DAP) or Directory System Protocol (DSP) operation performed. Values are:

ValueMeaning
Read OperationThe operation is either a DAP Read or a DSP Chained Read. These operations read information from a single directory entry.
Compare OperationThe operation is either a DAP Compare or a DSP Chained Compare. These operations compare a value asserted in the request.
Abandon OperationThe operation is either a DAP Abandon or a DSP Chained Abandon. These operations indicate to the directory that a DUA no longer wants the result of an operation.
List OperationThe operation is either a DAP List or a DSP Chained List. These operations list the names of the immediate subordinates of particular entry.
Search OperationThe operation is either a DAP Search or a DSP Chained Search. These operations retrieve information from all entries, within a section of the DIT, that match the specified filter (s).
Add Entry OperationThe operation is either a DAP Add Entry or a DSP Chained Add Entry. These operations add a leaf entry to the DIT.
Remove Entry OperationThe operation is either a DAP Remove Entry or a DSP Chained Remove Entry. These operations remove a leaf entry from the DIT.
Modify Entry OperationThe operation is either a DAP Modify Entry or a DSP Chained Modify Entry. These operations modify the attributes of a particular entry.
Modify Rdn OperationThe operation is either a DAP Modify RDN or a DSP Chained Modify RDN These operations modify the relative distinguished name of a leaf entry.

resultsize

indicates the size of the operation result in bytes.

responseentries

indicates the number of directory entries returned in the result.

AssocID

is the correlation identifier that identifies this particular association. It allows you to correlate the operation reported in this message with a specific association.

A correlation identifier uniquely identifies an association only for the duration of that association. The same identifier value can be reused repeatedly for other associations at later times.

Cause  A protocol operation has completed during the particular association indicated by AssocID.

Effect  None.

APS Error Codes

NSDS uses Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocols for communication with remote NSDS subsystems and with other DSAs. The upper three layers of OSI (Application, Presentation, and Session) are implemented in the Tandem OSI/AS product. NSDS uses only the Session Layer of OSI/AS.

A set of APS procedure calls are included as part of the OSI/AS subsystem. These procedure calls provide NSDS with access to the Session Layer. The APS procedures return status codes indicating the success or failure of a procedure call.

Following is a list of these status codes and a brief description of each. For information about correcting APS errors, see the Tandem OSI/AS Programming Manual.

NumberDescription
0Operation succeeded.
1You have received an event.
2Operation failed; don’t retry.
3Operation failed; retry immediately.
4Operation failed; retry after a delay.
5Operation failed;get operator; retry.
6Operation failed; abort connection.
7Operation failed; discard connection.
8Operation failed; status unknown.
