Your EntireX Installation is destroyed.

Reinstall EntireX.

The EntireX RPC server returned an error.

See under error number for further explanation and action to take.

The EntireX/Natural RPC Server did not find the server program.

Depending on the type of your RPC server, one of the following situations may apply:

1. If the server is an EntireX RPC server on Windows or Linux:

   • The server stub with the name D<library>.dll on Windows or D<library>.so|sl on Linux must be accessible to the EntireX RPC server. The program called must be available within that library as an export named D<program>.

   • The same applies to the server program. A server with the name <library>.dll on Windows or <library>.so|sl on Linux must be accessible to the EntireX RPC server. The program called must be available within that library as an export named <program>.

   Check read/execution access, library names and exports.

2. If the server is an EntireX RPC server on CICS:

   • A program named <program> must exist in the DFHRPL steplib concatenation.

   • The program must be CSD-defined and (depending on CICS version) must be installed.

3. If the server is a Natural RPC Server:

   • If Natural Logon is switched on for the request or conversation, the program must be found within the target library (or its steplib concatenation).

   • If Natural Logon is switched off for the request or conversation, the program must be found in the initial library (or its steplib concatenation) of the Natural RPC Server.

   See also the appropriate Natural documentation.

4. If the server is an EntireX RPC Server for XML/SOAP:

   • The server classes must be accessible from the EntireX RPC Server for XML/SOAP.

   • Make sure that the path of the server classes is in the classpath.

The SDF variable WORKER-PARMS in S-procedure START-RPC-SERVER is not set up correctly. This message will be sent by RPC servers under BS2000 only.

Correct the job control and rerun the job.

An error occurred while establishing the main or a worker task. This message will be sent by RPC servers under BS2000 only.

Contact Software AG Support.

The server program called by the EntireX/Natural RPC Server caused an abnormal end.

Check the program and correct the error.

RPC server was started with option KERNELSECURITY, but failed.

This message is accompanied by a genuine error message.

Correct installation error and restart.

Informational.

RPC server runs with broker KERNELSECURITY=<level>.

None.

The host security refused an authentication request.

Inspect reason code. Retry if password mistyped, otherwise contact your security administrator.

Internal PC routines could not be installed.

Inspect reason code and contact your system administrator.

The host security refused to reset a previously performed authentication request.

Inspect reason code and contact your security administrator.

EntireX RPC server requires the ERX shared library to be available. On Windows this is usually located in directory <drive>:\SoftwareAG\EntireX\bin.

Check EntireX installation. Verify that the erx.dll is in standard installation path.

RPC server received request for target PL/I application but application interface has higher indent level than PL/I supports (32).

Correct RPC client application.

The server mapping file accessed with IDL library and IDL program for the RPC request contained an RPC protocol version not supported by the RPC server. See Supported RPC Protocols in the EntireX RPC Programming documentation. A server mapping file is a Designer file with extension .cvm. See Server Mapping Files for COBOL.

Contact Software AG Support for RPC server upgrade.

The server mapping file accessed with IDL library and IDL program for the RPC request contained an invalid format. A server mapping file is a Designer file with extension .cvm. See Server Mapping Files for COBOL.

Check that you have the latest updates for the Designer installed. Try to produce the server mapping again, see COBOL Wrapper or IDL Extractor for COBOL and retry.

For server mapping files (.cvm), you need to rebuild all RPC clients communicating with this RPC server program. Select the appropriate wrapper (see EntireX Wrappers) and re-generate the client interface objects. For RPC connections with the webMethods EntireX Adapter for Integration Server, you need to update your Adapter connection. See Step 3: Create or Update an Adapter Connection in the Integration Server Wrapper documentation.

If this fails, contact Software AG Support.

If the RPC server uses a server-side mapping container, this message will be printed, otherwise no message. See Server-side Mapping Files in the RPC server documentation for z/OS (CICS, Batch, IMS) | BS2000.

None.

The RPC server did not come up. In the RPC server configuration, EXTRACTOR is specified as the broker service name, but EXTRACTOR is used for internal purposes of the RPC server and is a Software AG reserved service name.

Do not specify EXTRACTOR as the broker service name in the RPC server configuration, and restart the RPC server.

The RPC server did not come up. In the RPC server configuration DEPLOYMENT is specified as the broker service name, but DEPLOYMENT is used for internal purposes of the RPC server and is a Software AG reserved service name.

Do not specify DEPLOYMENT as the broker service name in the RPC server configuration, and restart the RPC server.

The RPC server did not come up. In the RPC server configuration, the deployment service is specified (see Deployment Service for z/OS (CICS, Batch, IMS) | BS2000)), but the server-side mapping container could not be opened.

Check your installation. Possible reasons:

• The server-side mapping container is missing. For configuration see Enabling the Deployment Service for z/OS (CICS, Batch, IMS) | BS2000.

• The server-side mapping container has mismatched DCB parameter.

• ....

The RPC Server for CICS tried to call an RPC server with an interface of type CICS with DFHCOMMAREA Calling Convention (COBOL Wrapper | Extractor), but the length of the data exceeded the CICS DFHCOMMAREA maximum of 32 KB.

Check the interface type of the target RPC server program called:

• If it is not a DFHCOMMAREA interface but a Large Buffer or Channel Container interface, the server mapping file may be missing or is wrong. A server mapping file is a Designer file with extension .cvm. See Server Mapping Files for COBOL.

  For server mapping files (.cvm), you need to rebuild all RPC clients communicating with this RPC server program. Select the appropriate wrapper (see EntireX Wrappers) and re-generate the client interface objects. For RPC connections with the webMethods EntireX Adapter for Integration Server, you need to update your Adapter connection. See Step 3: Create or Update an Adapter Connection in the Integration Server Wrapper documentation.

• If it is a DFHCOMMAREA interface, it is not possible to call such an RPC server program. Check if you can migrate the RPC server program to a Large Buffer or Channel Container interface. See Supported COBOL Interface Types under Introduction to the IDL Extractor for COBOL or COBOL Server Interface Types under Introduction to the COBOL Wrapper.

EntireX services EXTRACTOR or DEPLOYMENT were used other than by broker services EXTRACTOR or DEPLOYMENT.

• For the EntireX RPC client: use broker service EXTRACTOR and broker service DEPLOYMENT respectively.

• For the EntireX RPC server: configure the RPC server with EXTRACTOR=YES and DEPOLOYMENT=YES.

• Allow services EXTRACTOR and DEPLOYMENT in the Broker attribute file.

The EntireX RPC server runs with optionIMPERSONATION=AUTO,SAME_USER. This requires the client to send both, the EntireX user ID as well as the RPC user ID and the IDs must be equal.

Correct your EntireX client.

Deployment service is feasible only when using the programming language COBOL for the server programs (see also configuration parameter MARSHALLING in the respective RPC documentation section).

Check the RPC server configuration options for consistency.

The RPC server runs with COBOL support but no server mapping file was found for this particular RPC request, where one is required. A server mapping file is a Designer file with extension .cvm. See Server Mapping Files for COBOL.

For server mapping files (.cvm), you need to rebuild all RPC clients communicating with this RPC server program. Select the appropriate wrapper (see EntireX Wrappers) and re-generate the client interface objects. For RPC connections with the webMethods EntireX Adapter for Integration Server, you need to update your Adapter connection. See Step 3: Create or Update an Adapter Connection in the Integration Server Wrapper documentation.

The server mapping file accessed with IDL library and IDL program is inconsistent and does not match the RPC request. A server mapping file is a Designer file with extension .cvm. See Server Mapping Files for COBOL.

Check you have the latest updates for the Designer installed. Try to produce the server mapping again and retry. See COBOL Wrapper or IDL Extractor for COBOL.

For server mapping files (.cvm), you need to rebuild all RPC clients communicating with this RPC server program. Select the appropriate wrapper (see EntireX Wrappers) and re-generate the client interface objects. For RPC connections with the webMethods EntireX Adapter for Integration Server, you need to update your Adapter connection. See Step 3: Create or Update an Adapter Connection in the Integration Server Wrapper documentation.

If this fails, contact Software AG Support.

The RPC server detected a memory override by the called server program behind the provided interface (API).

• COBOL: Check that the Software AG IDL File and Server Mapping Files for COBOL match the called server program.

• Other: Check that the Software AG IDL File matches the called server program.

An error occurred within the RPC Server runtime while deallocating storage during worker task shutdown.

None.

The (CICS) RPC server was started with transaction ID different to the transaction-id that was specified in ERXMAIN control block.

The transaction IDs must be unique.

An attempt was made to start (CICS) RPC server a second time.

This message was issued by the RPC server (see also message 10170004). Only one server instance can be started using the same shared memory block (ERXMAIN control block).

An attempt was made to start an RPC worker or user task, but the allocated thread table has no more free entries.

Either reduce the MAXW parameter or increase the SIZE parameter. Check also the server log file for errors, because this situation may also be caused by aborting threads.

Internal error.

Contact Software AG Support

The server was configured to use a feature that is not supported under this operating system.

Change server configuration.

RPC server under CICS tried to perform EXEC CICS SYNCPOINT (due to end of conversation) but failed.

Check CICS response codes for this error.

At startup, the server found an option that is deprecated.

The message is informational. Normally, the option will still be supported for compatibility reasons, but support may be withdrawn in a future release. See EntireX Release Notes for recommended action.

RPC server received broker status: broker not available (error class 0215) or broker resource shortage (error classes 0036 and 0037). These status codes will be considered as a temporary bottleneck. Depending on RPC server option RESTARTCYCLES, the server will try to reconnect the broker within this restart period.

No action is required if the broker problems are solved within the RPC server restart period.
Otherwise check broker job/log for problems.

A final step of the server initialization is to launch the configured minimum number of worker tasks. If this does not succeed within 10 seconds, the server aborts the initialization.

Verify server output for additional messages indicating problems with the worker initialization. Verify server trace output for additional error messages.

The RPC server received an area from the called server program with a length less than expected. The RPC call is invalid. This situation can occur in environments that may alter the reply length, such as CICS with DFHCOMMAREA Large Buffer Interface (COBOL Wrapper | Extractor) or CICS with Channel Container Calling Convention (COBOL Wrapper | Extractor).

Check the EntireX RPC environment for consistency. The expected reply length does not match the length provided the called server program. Consider using fixed arrays in a variable manner or optional output. See Set Arrays (Fixed <-> Unbounded) for interface type DFHCOMMAREA (In same as Out, In different to Out) | Large Buffer (In same as Out, In different to Out) | Channel Container | IMS Connect | COBOL Converter (In same as Out, In different to Out)

The cause of the error and corrective action depends on the type of your RPC server.

• If the server is an EntireX RPC server, contact Software AG Support because of internal problems within the server.

• If the server is a Natural RPC Server, see the appropriate Natural documentation for error 6971.

The cause of the error and corrective action depends on the type of your RPC server.

• If the server is an EntireX RPC server, increase your memory resources and retry the program because a memory request could not be fulfilled by the operating system.

• If the server is a Natural RPC Server, see the appropriate Natural documentation for error 6974.

The EntireX/Natural RPC request could not be executed.

Examine the log of the EntireX/Natural RPC Server for the cause of the malfunction.

The cause of the error and corrective action depends on the type of your RPC server.

• If the server is an EntireX RPC server, the reason could be an invalid compression value.

• If the server is a Natural RPC Server, refer to the appropriate Natural documentation for error 6978.
