This topic describes the specific messages sent to the QSYSMSG message queue.
If the QSYSMSG message queue exists, the system sends the following messages to QSYSMSG instead of QSYSOPR:
The system sends certain messages to both QSYSMSG and QSYSOPR, or only to QSYSMSG, or only to QSYSOPR, depending on the system reference code (SRC) sent with the message and whether the SRC is being logged with critical message handling. These messages include the following.
The system sends all other messages in this topic to both QSYSMSG and QSYSOPR.
This message is sent if the amount of available auxiliary storage in the system auxiliary storage pool has reached the threshold value.
The system service tools function can be used to display and change the threshold value.
This message is sent when a start request is rejected and contains a reason code identifying why the rejection occurred.
If a password is not valid or an unauthorized condition occurs using APPC, it may mean that a normal job is in error or that someone is attempting to break security. You may choose to prevent further use of the APPC device description until the condition is understood by doing the following:
This message is sent when a user has attempted to sign-on multiple times, causing the User Profile to be disabled.
This message is sent if the threshold value assigned by the system value QMAXSIGN is reached and the device is varied off. The message indicates that a user is not entering a valid password. The message data for CPF1397 contains the name of the device from which the message was sent. You can use this information and design a program to take appropriate action. You could consider performing one or several of the following:
The system has detected a network interface failure and is attempting error recovery for the network interface.
Try the request again. If the problem occurs again, enter the Analyze Problem (ANZPRB) command to run problem analysis.
The Systems Network Architecture (SNA) session ended due to a request shutdown (RSHUTD), request recovery (RQR), unbind (UNBIND), or notify power off (NOTIFY) command received from the remote controller.
Contact the remote controller operator to determine why the communications support ended the session. Correct the error, and try the request again.
Vary off the device. Vary the device on and try the request again. If the problem continues, report the problem (ANZPRB command).
The Systems Network Architecture (SNA) request received for remote location &5, device description &4 violates SNA protocol. The system received a negative response with sense data &7 to the controller.
Correct the problem in the controller program and try the request again.
The system received a negative response with sense data &7 for remote location &5 device description &4. The first four characters of the data did not begin with 10xx, 08xx, or 0000. The Systems Network Architecture (SNA) session ended if it existed.
Correct the error and try the request again. For more information on sense data and the causes of negative responses, see Systems Network Architecture Formats, GA27-3136.
A Systems Network Architecture (SNA) INIT-SELF command was received for finance remote location &5, device description &4 that did not contain valid authorization data. One of the following occurred:
Have the user try the request again with a valid user ID and password. If the user has no authorization to the device, use the Grant Object Authority (GRTOBJAUT) command to authorize the user to this device.
An error occurred during a read or write operation. If this is a display file, the display may not be usable.
See the previously listed messages, correct the errors, and try the request again. If the problem continues, report the problem (ANZPRB command).
Close the file and then try the request again.
The program attempted an input operation or an output operation to program device &4, remote location &5 that had a prior error.
Vary off device associated with remote location &5 and then on again (VRYCFG or WRKCFGSTS command). Then try the request again.
The Systems Network Architecture (SNA) session could not be established. The Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) frame size is not compatible with the request/response unit (RU) size. This is either a configuration error, or the SDLC frame size has been negotiated to a smaller value by i5/OS™. This occured while the remote controller is using the Exchange Identification (XID) command.
The MAXLENRU parameter of the device description contains the specification of the RU size for retail and finance devices.
The MAXFRAME parameter of the line description contains the SDLC frame size specification. The MAXFRAME parameter of the controller description also contains the specification for retail and finance devices.
Do one or more of the following and try the request again:
The system has detected line failure while processing input or output and is attempting error recovery for the line.
Try the request again. If the problem continues, start problem analysis (ANZPRB command).
The system has detected a controller failure and is attempting error recovery for the controller.
Try the request again. If the problem continues, start problem analysis (ANZPRB command).
Close the file. Vary off the device (VRYCFG command). Look at any system operator messages in the job log to determine if any action is necessary before you vary on the device. Correct the error, and vary on the device (VRYCFG command). Then try the request again. If the problem continues, start problem analysis (ANZPRB command).
Object &7 type *&9 is either being used in another process, is not varied on, or has no sessions available for advanced program-to-program communications.
Close file &2. Try the request again when object &7 is available or varied on. If the object that could not be allocated is for APPC, there were no sessions available to use. You can change the WAITFILE parameter to allow the system to wait longer for a session to become available. The mode can also be changed (MAXSSN parameter) to make more sessions available. The remote system may also have to configure again to accept a greater number of sessions. If configuration exists for sufficient sessions, use the CHGSSNMAX command to attempt to increase the current session limit.
A user has created a library name that is reserved for the QDLS file system. For example, for user ASP 5, library name QDOC0005 is reserved for the system. The system will attempt to create this library when the user is trying to create the first document library object (DLO) on the user ASP. However, if a user has created their own library using the reserved name QDOC0005, then message CPF8AC4 will be sent. The user-created library must be deleted or renamed before a DLO can be created in the user ASP.
The software license grace period for i5/OS has expired. Successful completion of the next initial program load (IPL) requires a software license key.
Contact your IBM® marketing representative or IBM business partner for a new Operating system/400 software license key. Use the Add License Key Information (ADDLICKEY) command to add the software license key.

Press F14 to run problem analysis.
This message is sent if the mirroring synchronization of a disk unit has started and disk mirroring protection is being resumed. One of the steps the system performs before disk mirroring protection is resumed is to copy data from one disk unit to another so that the data on both disk units is the same. You may observe slow system performance during the time that the data is being copied. After the copy of the disk data is complete, message CPI0989 is sent to this message queue, and disk mirroring protection resumes.
This message is sent if the mirroring synchronization of a disk unit completed successfully. The system completed the copy of data from one disk unit to the other. Disk mirroring protection is resumed.
This message is sent if errors were found on disk unit &1; The message does not include information about the failure to run problem analysis.
The storage directory is nearing capacity. This is a potentially serious system condition. The system repeats this message until it receives an IPL.
You must reduce the amount of storage that is used on the system. To reduce the amount of storage that is used, do the following:
The amount of storage that is used in the system auxiliary storage pool has reached the critical lower limit value. The system will now take the action that is specified in the QSTGLOWACN system value: &5. The possible actions are:
You can reduce use of storage through the following actions:
Failure to reduce the storage usage may lead to a situation that requires initialization of auxiliary storage and loss of user data. Use the WRKSYSSTS command to monitor the amount of storage that is used. Use the PRTDSKINF command to print information about storage usage. The WRKSYSVAL command can be used to display and change the auxiliary storage lower limit value (QSTGLOWLMT) and action (QSTGLOWACN).
The system is being started to the restricted state because the amount of storage available is below the auxiliary storage lower limit. Failure to reduce storage usage may lead to a situation that requires initialization of auxiliary storage and the loss of user data. The console is the only active device.
