CIP System Error Messages
The system can report error conditions in numerous facility codes related to the Channel Interface Processor (CIP). As shown in the following example, the format of the error messages for the CIP differs from the format of other system error messages:
%CIP3-6-MSG:%ADAPTER-6-DIAGBEGIN: [chars] diagnostic starting
All CIP-related error messages begin with a percent sign (%), the facility code CIP, and a number, 3 in the preceding example, that indicates the slot where the CIP is installed. The message severity level, 6, follows the slot number along with the mnemonic MSG. This format parallels the format for other system error messages, but it indicates that the CIP generated an error message.
The information that follows the initial error message is the CIP facility subcode, severity level, and mnemonic—%ADAPTER-6-DIAGBEGIN in the preceding example.
The CIP error messages are organized alphabetically into sections by subfacility beginning with CIP-ADAPTER. Within each subfacility section, messages appear alphabetically by mnemonic.
Note
CIP and the slot number are not shown in the error message listing that follows.
