Introduction

This topic contains information on all messages issued by SoftSpy.

Terminal message format

Most SoftSpy messages are displayed on the user's terminal. A few are issued to the audit trail.

Messages have the following general format:

SPY.nnn : message type : message text

where:

SPY.nnn is the message identifier. The word SPY indicates that the message is a SoftSpy message, and nnn is the SoftSpy message number. The message identifier is not present for errors issued using the SoftSpy ERROR command.

message type is Error, Warning, or Bug. The absence of a message type indicates the message is an informational message.

message text is a brief explanation of the situation that caused the message to be issued. A complete description of the cause of each message, and any corrective action that should be taken, is given in this topic. The messages are documented in numerical order. A gap in the numeric sequence indicates an unused message number.

Message documentation format

SoftSpy messages are documented in the following format:

Message Number The number of the SoftSpy message.
Message Type The message type is either Bug, Error, Informational, or Warning.
Message Text The text of the message as it appears on the user's terminal, except for generic terms, such as a keyword, for which SoftSpy substitutes the appropriate value.
Description A description of the SoftSpy message. While some descriptions are easily understood, others are longer and more complex, identifying several distinct causes of the message.
Response The required response, an indication to notify the SoftSpy Administrator, or an indication that no response is required.
Administrator The required response, if any, for the SoftSpy Administrator.

Messages

This topic lists the SoftSpy error messages and responses. A gap in the message number sequence indicates unused message numbers.

Administrator Increase the number of SoftSpy servers if warranted. The SoftSpy installation guide contains information on how to define IODEV=55 threads for SoftSpy servers for future active jobs.

If IODEV=55 threads are defined, issue the SPY EDIT CONFIG command. Press PF 8 (Forward), and examine the configuration. If the current date is after the expiration date, or the configuration specifies a start date that is after the current date, then contact Technical Support for a key with new dates. If the CPU model and serial number do not match your processor, contact Technical Support with your current CPU model and serial number for a new key.
