Association-Related Diagnostic Messages
2015
Cause. The initiator-identity parameter in the initialize request was invalid, or it was 
omitted and there was no default user ID/password configured for the responder.
Effect. The association is not established. The responder generates the password-
failure event (event number 20).
Recovery. Either the application or FTAM user should retry with a valid initiator 
identity, or the Compaq problem solver should configure the responder to have a default 
user ID/password. Change the VFS profile for the responder to define a DEFUSER 
attribute. Refer to the ALTER PROFILE command description in the SCF Reference 
Manual for FTAM and APLMGR.  
2016
Cause. The remote initiator has set the presentation-context-management parameter to 
true on the F-INITIALIZE service. The Compaq responder does not support the 
presentation-context-management parameter.
Effect. This is an information-only diagnostic message. The association is established.
Recovery. No action is necessary.
2018
Cause. The responder detected one or more inconsistent or unsupported presentation 
contexts in the contents-type-list on the initialize service.
Effect. This message is a warning. The responder disregards the contents types that it 
does not support or are not valid and retains those that are. The association is 
established with a partial contents-type-list.
Recovery. The application or FTAM user should investigate the resulting list to 
determine if needed contents types are still included. If not, interoperability of the two 
FTAM implementations is limited and might prevent you from using FTAM to 
accomplish your purpose. The responder supports only the FTAM-1, FTAM-2, 
FTAM-3, and NBS-9 document types.
2020
Cause. The password on the initialize request is invalid, or an invalid default password 
is configured for the Compaq responder.
Initiator identity unacceptable
Context management refused
Contents type list cut by responder
Invalid filestore password
