APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Starting the NetView Enterprise Management Agent Interface
  started task, message "DWO050E MODULE: CNME8200 RC: 8, MAIN PPI
  session terminating Reason Code: 00000206" is issued.
  Reason Code 206 is not documented.
  

Local fix

• The 206 reason code is coming from the NetView EMA agent, it
  indicates a PPI buffer parsing problem in registration data sent
  from NetView to the agent. This is most likely caused by the
  agent code being back level.
  Verify the agent code that is running is at the same level as
  the NetView code. It may be that the agent's STEPLIB needs to be
  updated.

Problem conclusion

• The IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Command Reference Volume 1 (A-N)
  Version 6 Release 1 (SC27-2847-02) should be changed as follows:
  In Chapter 2. NetView commands and command descriptions, under
  the NACMD (NCCF; CNME8200) command description, following the
  Return Code Meanings, add the following:
  
  Reason codes for return code 8
  
     Reason Code                Meaning
  
     100-103                    Duplicate name
  
     201                        PPI not available
  
     202                        Data too long
  
     203                        Receive failed
  
     204                        Unknown command
  
     205                        Failed to add user access (UA)
                                token to the data space (DS)
  
     206                        Bad parse
                                Note: The most likely cause for
                                      this reason code is that the
                                      TEMA agent code is back
                                      level.
  
     207                        Duplicate node name
  
     208                        Unknown reason
  
     209                        Duplicate receiver name
  
     210                        Failed to get DS
  
     212                        Failed to expand DS
  
     214                        Duplicate PPI receiver name
  
     215                        Receiver already active
  
     216                        Sender already active
  
  Also align all the Return Code Meaning lines for return codes 8
  and 12 to start in the same column as the word 'Meaning' in the
  heading line for return codes.
  The online command help for the NACMD command is being changed
  to reflect the above.
