MPS Error and Informational Messages
The algorithm used by the MPS to search the Authorization information is described in 
the header file for the authorization module. (See MPS Source and Configuration Files 
on page 7-65.)
Another factor that influences performance is the audit -trail option. It is most efficient 
to disable that option during normal operations. If you suspect a problem or have some 
other requirement for auditing, you can run an MPS in ISOLATE mode with the 
auditing option on. For bind operations, no file I/O is required.
Note that the MS bind password server interface is a WAITED interface for the message 
store. The MS process will not be able to service any request from any source if it is 
awaiting the reply to a request from the MPS process.
The MPS configuration that provides optimal performance is one MPS process per MS 
group.
MPS Error and Informational Messages
The next several pages describe the errors, warnings, and informational messages that 
MPS processes print on the output file. The messages are listed in alphabetical order 
with error messages first, informational messages second, and warning messages third.
Cause. This message reports a process or device-related I/O problem. 
Effect. It is fatal and causes the MPS to ABEND.
Recovery. This message should never occur in normal operation. If you are using the 
MPS unmodified (as delivered from Compaq), contact your Compaq representative with 
information about your configuration and the circumstances of the error. 
Cause. This message reports a process or device-related I/O problem. 
Effect. It is fatal and causes the MPS to ABEND.
Recovery. This message should never occur in normal operation. Contact your 
Compaq representative with information about your configuration and the circumstances 
of the error. 
Cause. This message refers to a problem using the TMF facilities. 
Effect. Generally, the MPS will attempt to continue processing under these conditions, 
but any requests from OSI/MHS will be rejected.
