SPI PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS FOR TR3271
Error Handling
ERROR HANDLING
General programming considerations for handling errors that occur
when using the management-programming interfaces are discussed in
the Communications Management Programming Manual .
In the programmatic control-and-inquiry interface to the
subsystem, there are two values for the return token that
indicate that the response record does not contain an error
list. One is the value ZSPI-ERR-OK, which means that no error
or warning occurred. The other is a ZCOM error number that
signifies the "empty" response record. This value, ZCOM-ERR-
EMPT-RSP, is returned, for example, when an application requests
through ZSPI-TKN-RESPONSE-TYPE that only response records for
objects on which errors or warnings occurred be returned, and the
command finishes processing without encountering any errors or
warnings.
Error-handling considerations for specific commands are described
in Section 6, "Commands and Responses." The error numbers
returned by the subsystems are described in Appendix A.
SECURITY
Security for the subsystems is handled by SCP, as described in
the Communications Management Programming Manual .
Some of the commands are sensitive commands, meaning that they
can be issued only by certain users. When an application that
is not allowed to issue sensitive commands attempts to issue
one, SCP returns an error. For more information on sensitive
commands, refer to Section 6, "Commands and Responses."
