Startup Error Messages
The distributor resends the last event that the consumer has received; that is, it
positions by the context that it recorded last.
INDENT n
overrides the default indentation (36) for a printing distributor. n is the number
of indention spaces. n must not be larger than the record size of the
destination.
GMT ON
converts the local time back to GMT (Greenwich mean time) for printing
distributors. Time is displayed in GMT instead of LCT (local civil time).
DUMP ON
causes the printing distributor output to be in a labeled token dump format
instead of EMSTEXT format. Numerical values are displayed in hexadecimal.
Startup Error Messages
If a distributor process encounters errors while it is starting up, the distributor
generates one or more of the startup error messages listed here or in Section 21,
Distributor Errors. (Errors in Section 21, Distributor Errors, can occur at other times as
well.) Whether you use a RUN command or a NEWPROCESS procedure call for
startup, the distributor displays any startup error messages at the appropriate terminal,
or places them in an OUT file.
Each startup error message, unless specifically designated as a warning, causes the
distributor to terminate execution immediately.
Cause. The AUTOSTOP option was called for a printing or forwarding distributor, but
is only allowed for consumer distributors.
Effect. The distributor fails to start up.
Recovery. Restart without AUTOSTOP called for any nonconsumer distributors.
Cause. The targeted collector could not be opened by the distributor due to the
specified error.
Effect. If the specified error is FENOSUCHSYS or FENETDOWN, the distributor tries
to open the collector again. Otherwise, the distributor fails to start up.
AUTOSTOP only allowed for consumer distributor
