Entire Net-Work Messages and Codes

Some Adabas response codes refer to problems with interregion communication in one way or another. In Entire Net-Work environments, the cause for these response codes is not always as apparent as in single Adabas environments. This is due to the fact that all calls are passed through interregion communications in two places: first they are passed from the user`s task to Entire Net-Work, then, on the server's node, they are passed from Entire Net-Work to the server. In both instances the same types of errors may occur. Therefore it is sometimes difficult, if not impossible, to guess on which node the problem was encountered.

To aid in diagnosing such situations, Entire Net-Work provides the node ID (targetid) of the Entire Net-Work node where the problem was encountered for all problems related to the response codes listed in the following pages. The information is returned in the Additions-2 field of the Adabas control block (ACBADD2 in ADACB). Note that this field is not modified by Entire Net-Work under any other circumstances. In some cases, where the problem prevents the call from reaching Entire Net-Work on the user's node, the information obviously cannot be provided by Entire Net-Work.
