Identifying the Type-of-Failure Keywords
The type of failure can be described by one (or several) of the keywords from the
list shown in Figure 100. Select the appropriate keywords and enter the required
data on the sheet.
Figure 100. Type-of-Failure Keywords
Keyword Type of Failure
AB/cxxx ABEND with ABEND indicator c and code xxx
MS/msgnum A message with number msgnum has been issued
LOOP The program seems to be looping
WAIT The program seems to be waiting for an event without doing anything
INCORROUT Incorrect output from NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS
PERFM The performance of the program is degraded
PUBS/docnum The book docnum of the NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS documentation is in
error
AB/cxxx
Use this keyword when NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS terminates abnormally.
When this happens a storage dump is produced. For the queue handler and
servers, this storage dump contains the symptom record. The ABEND code is
in either the SYS ABEND CODE field or the USER ABEND CODE field of the
symptom record. The format of the keyword is AB/, followed by a single character,
denoting a user ABEND code (U) or a system ABEND code (S), and
finally the 3-character ABEND code.
MS/msgnum
Use this keyword when an error message is issued. This also applies to messages
issued by components other than NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS, for
example, system messages.
The complete message identification is to be attached to the prefix MS/. For
example, message DVG071I should be represented as MS/DVG071I.
The message IDs for errors related to the interactive interface are described in
NetView FTP Messages and Codes.
LOOP
Use this keyword when a NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS component appears to be
looping. A NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS component might be looping if a queue
handler command or a file transfer does not finish, but seems to be processing.
The operator should cancel the NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS component, using
the DUMP option.
WAIT
Use this keyword if a NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS component appears to be in a
wait state. NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS is probably in a wait state if a queue
handler command or file transfer does not finish and seems not to be processing.
You can see at the operator console whether a NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS
component is active or suspended. If it is active, it is in a LOOP. If it is
suspended, it is in a WAIT state. The waiting NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS component
should be canceled by the operator with the DUMP option.
