Abstract for SMP/E Messages, Codes, and Diagnosis

Purpose of this information: Use this information when:

You need information about an SMP/E message or return code. This information will help you (1) identify the SMP/E message or return code, (2) understand the action taken by the system, and (3) respond to the message or return code as needed.
You suspect a problem with SMP/E. This information will assist you in searching for a solution and, if necessary, reporting the problem to the IBM® Support Center.

Who should read this information? Read this information if you need to interpret SMP/E messages and codes, or diagnose an SMP/E problem.

To interpret an SMP/E message or code, see these topics:

SMP/E messages. This topic lists the SMP/E diagnostic messages (prefix GIM) along with the system action and your required response. Messages appear in alphanumerical order.
SMP/E return codes. This topic lists return codes according to the command, interprets the return codes, and lists possible error conditions. In addition, except for the LOG command, each section outlines instructions for error recovery.

To diagnose an SMP/E problem, see:

Diagnosing SMP/E problems. This topic contains procedures for determining whether you can solve a suspected SMP/E problem and, if not, for gathering the information needed to report the problem to IBM.
