M204.2509
M204.2509 token hexValue
Horizon uses this message to report two types of events:
- A receipt of request or a response unit for sessions that are in the process of termination and are therefore discarded.
- A failed attempt to BIND a session.
The general format of the message in the first case is:
M204.2509 rutype BEING DISCARDED FOR HS_ID = xxxxxxxx
or
M204.2509 DISCARDING rutype FOR HS_ID = xxxxxxxx
where HS_ID is the hexadecimal Half Session identifier and rutype is one of the following:
- BIND RESPONSE
- CINIT (Control Initiate) REQUEST
- MESSAGE
- NOTIFY REQUEST
- TERMINATE REQUEST
- UNBIND RESPONSE
The general format of the message in the second case is:
M204.2509 rutype FAILED | REJECTED SENSE=
where rutype is one of the following:
- BIND
- BIND RESPONSE
The sense codes are standard SNA codes, which are listed in the IBM manual SNA Formats, GA27-3136.
The following table is a sampling of sense codes:
Code | Message | Action to take (if any) |
|---|---|---|
08050000 | Session limit exceeded | Check the DEFINE PROCESSGROUP INLIMIT parameter, or DEFINE SESSIONGROUP MAXIMUM and WINNERS parameters for CNOS. |
08090000 | Mode inconsistency (wrong state) |
|
080F6051 | Security violation | Check that the partner is opening the process with a valid user ID and password; check the LOGON and GUESTUSER parameters on the local and partner DEFINE PROCESSGROUP commands. |
08150000 | Function already active |
|
0835nnnn | Parameter error in BIND image |
|
084B0000 | Resources are not available | Check storage to see if it is a problem. |
08520001 | Session activation request received while earlier one pending |
|
System manager response: The DISCARDED messages usually point to some earlier session failure, and no further action is usually necessary.
When there is a BIND failure, check the BIND parameters--the MODENAME parameter on the DEFINE PROCESSGROUP or DEFINE SESSIONGROUP--on both ends of the session. Refer also to the previous table on specific sense codes.
