MPS Error and Informational Messages
Effect. The MPS does not update the master user information and continues operation
without a master user.
Recovery. Stop the MPS concerned and all the APPLs that are served by that MPS.
Use the SCF INFO APPL command to verify the configuration of the APPL(s) in
OSI/MHS. If the configuration is incorrect, correct it using SCF. Then follow the
procedures for adding APPLs to the authorization database from an OSI/MHS
subsystem with APPLs already defined.
Cause. This message reports that insufficient memory was available to allow the MPS
to initialize or add to the in-memory copy of the authorization database. The value
signifies the number of APPL entries in the authorization database at the time of the
failure.
Effect. The MPS continues to serve existing users but is unable to add more APPLs.
Recovery. Dynamic memory is allocated for each APPL that is served by the MPS.
One APPL entry requires approximately 500 bytes of memory. Reduce the memory
requirement for the MPS by defining more MPS processes and assigning some of the
APPLs to them.
Cause. This message states that the MPS changed the configuration parameter MPS-
AUDIT to OFF because of an error in initializing the auditing function. This message is
always accompanied by an error message that identifies the error.
Effect. The MPS no longer logs requests to an audit-trail file.
Recovery. Verify and correct the error in initializing the auditing function, and attempt
to enable auditing again.
Cause. This message reports that the MPS has reached the limit of the number of
processes that can have the MPS open at any one time. That is, more than 16 processes
are attempting to open the MPS.
Effect. The MPS continues to accept requests from its successful openers.
Recovery. Change your configuration to spread the load of your MPS requests across
multiple MPS processes. In addition to reducing the number of openers of the MPS, this
action is likely to improve the performance of your system. An alternative approach is
to change the constant PSS_MAX_NUM_OPENERS in the file PSSERVH, thereby
changing the dimensions of the array in which opener data is stored.
