NBT Event Messages
This appendix lists event messages that describe all the significant events that occur 
during NBT startup and operation. NBT uses the Event Management Service (EMS) to 
report these events.
NBT reports events that have global effects on all NBT users. Events that only affect a 
single user or session are not reported. One exception is event 
znbt-evt-logon-suspended which could indicate a potential security violation.
Standard DDL, TAL, C, TACL, and EMS Template Compiler definitions are provided in 
the NBT DSV for all EMS events generated by NBT. Refer to these files for detailed 
information on the tokens used for a particular event.
All EMS messages generated by NBT contain the process name (such as $NBT) as the 
subject. The process name is always edited first and is denoted in all of the following 
event descriptions by pname.
znbt-evt-abend
Cause. NBT is terminating because of an internally detected error, or via the NBTCOM 
ABEND command. reason is an internal code for the error detected.
Effect. A saveabend dump file will be created. 
Recovery. Forward the dump file to your Compaq support representative for analysis. If 
a backup is present, a backup takeover occurs. If no backup is present, then NBT must 
be restarted.
znbt-evt-alloc
Cause. NBT could not allocate an extended segment for its buffer pool at startup time. 
status is the result of the NonStop ALLOCATESEGMENT procedure. size is the 
number of words requested.
Effect. NBT was not started.
Recovery. Check the value for PARAM POOL^SIZE, and determine that adequate 
space exists on the disk volume containing the NBT object file.
