Appendix A Messages and Codes : Overview

Overview
You can refer to the meaning of a message without understanding this manual as a whole and enhance your understanding of TIBCO Mainframe Service Tracker by knowing the types of messages the software produces. Knowledge of the messages includes understanding the destinations to which the software sends messages and the audiences for whom the messages are intended.
 
By default, all numeric response and reason code values are shown in decimals. A hexadecimal is sometimes included if the values are received from IBM macros and facilities.
Message Identifiers
Messages issued by TIBCO Mainframe Service Tracker are in this format:
SXKnnnnS message text, follow-on codes, originating module, and so forth
where:
SXK is the product code that identifies TIBCO Mainframe Service Tracker messages.
nnnn is the message number.
S is the message’s severity code, which is separated from the message text by blanks. The severity code defines the importance of the message. The values are as follows:
I: Informational. These messages are usually advisories or replies to requests from TIBCO Mainframe Service Tracker users. Usually, you need not take any action on informational messages.
W: Warning. These messages draw your attention to a problem or potential problem. You might need to take action on them.
E: Error. These messages tell you that something has gone wrong. You probably need to take action on them.
S or C: Severe error. This code stipulates that something has gone seriously wrong. Action by you is required, probably with help from your system support personnel.
F: Fatal error. These messages stipulate that the system or a critical part of the system might no longer be operational. Recovery might be possible, however. Determine the problem by inquiring on the message received and any error or warning messages issued previously in the log output file. Notify TIBCO Support.
