Gateway and CPIC Error Codes

Error code

Error text

Troubleshooting

221

CPIC_ERROR

Internal CPI-C error

222

CANT_GET_MEMORY

Memory bottle neck, because either the shared memory blocks or the main memory is too low.

223

NI_READ_FAILED

Network read error, network problems, or partner has terminated

224

NI_WRITE_FAILED

Network write error, network problems, or partner has terminated

225

INVALID_REQUEST

Unknown request type in APPC header

228

Maximum number of connections in the gateway has been reached Increase value of parameter gw/max_conn

233

WRONG_COMM_TYPE

Unknown connection type Permitted types are only:

I for internal connections, partner is in SAP NetWeaver

E for external connections, external partner

E for external connections, partner is registered

C for external connections, partner is in R/2

234

CONNECT_FAILED

Attempt to open connection to gateway failed. Check the host name and service. If these are correct, check whether the gateway is actually running and is listening to the correct port. Your own host name(s) and the ports the gateway listen to are in the first lines of the trace file (dev_rd).

235

COMM_TABLE_ERROR

Error in the administration structure that the gateway shares with the SAP System (communication table).

236

GW_CONNECT_FAILED

See CONNECT_FAILED

237

GW_DISCONNECTED

Connection to the gateway has been closed (CPIC-SS ), or the gateway should open a connection to a different gateway, and an earlier attempt had already failed. If the connection to another gateway fails, the next attempt is not until 60 seconds later. If connection requests arrive at this gateway during this time, they are rejected and assigned this error status.

238

WRITE_TO_GW_FAILED

Network write error, network problems, or the remote gateway has been closed.

239

READ_FROM_GW_FAILED

Network read error, network problems, or the remote gateway has been closed.

240

INVALID_LEN

Destination length is longer than an APPC request block; or the length of the data packet is shorter than the length of the APPC header.

242

GW_TIMEOUT

Connection setup to the remote gateway has been closed because timeout has been exceeded. The time limit can be set in parameter gw/timeout.

244

SYSTEM_DISCONNECTED

The connection to the partner has already been closed, yet the system is still attempting to connect to the partner.

245

MEM_OVERFLOW

The overflow area can no longer store the data. If a partner sends data much quicker than the partner can receive it, the data is stored temporarily in the overflow area. The size of the area is set in the parameter gw/max_overflow_size. The memory is for local processes. The default is 1 MByte and you can increase this as appropriate.

246

WRONG_APPCHDR_VERSION

The protocol header exchanged between gateways and CPIC/RFC clients contains an invalid version number.

247

GW_APPC_SERVER_DOWN

The data could not be sent from the SAP System to the gateway. Check that the gateway is running.

248

TXCOM_TABLE_FAILED

Entry in table TXCOM was not found or there is a problem with the database table itself. Check that the symbolic destination exists (transaction SM54).

249

COMM_TABLE_OVERFLOW

The communication table is full. The size of the table or the number of entries is set in the parameter rdisp/max_comm_entries. The value should be at least as big as the value of parameter gw/max_conn.

450

C_NO_MEM

Request for memory unsuccessful.

451

C_NO_SIDE_INFO

Side info file could not be found. If the environment variable SIDE_INFO is not defined, the file sideinfo is searched for in the current directory.

455

485

C_GETHOSTNAME

The local host name could not be determined.

486

C_NO_SAP_CMACCP

SAP_CMACCP call is missing. This call must be the first call made in a CPIC program that is to be stated from a different program.

487

C_NO_PROGRAM_NAME_ARG

The local program name could not be found in the argument list. Check that all arguments have been passed to the program.
