This section contains the return codes and reason codes of the roll server requests. Unlike Natural system messages, the explanatory long texts to these messages and codes are only available in this document, not online.
The TP monitor interfaces issuing roll server request interpret some reason codes returned by a failed roll server request and issue specific error messages. Other reason codes, however, are not interpreted. These are reported with a more general error message text.
For information on the Roll Server, see:
In addition, refer to the relevant IBM documents mentioned below.
