Sense code 0855

Route Setup procedure failure: An intermediate or destination node was unable to successfully complete the processing of a high-performance routing (HPR) Route Setup request or reply.

Bytes 2 and 3 following the sense code contain sense code specific information. Settings allowed are:
0000
No specific code applies.
0001
The destination LU is not ready to accept sessions.
0002
An unknown destination LU was specified in the request.
0003
A TG specified in the RSCV could not be activated.
0004
An unknown TG was specified in the RSCV.
0005
A TG specified in the RSCV has failed.
0006
A TG specified in the RSCV was not activated as an HPR TG.
0007
An intermediate node had insufficient storage to activate a TG specified in the RSCV.
0008
The receiving node had insufficient storage to process the route setup request.
0009
The route setup request was received over a TG that was not activated as an HPR TG.
000A
A VR within a composite network node is inoperative.
000B
The receiving node does not support HPR protocols.
000C
The receiving node does not support the HPR transport option.
000D
The route setup request or reply could not be forwarded over the TG in the FID2 format because its size was greater than the TG maximum BTU size.
000E
The value of the current hop count field of the RSCV received in a route setup request exceeded the value of the destination hop index field in the request (for example, the route setup request appeared to have passed the destination node).
000F
The route setup request completed unsuccessfully. The route setup reply was not received in the allotted time (as determined by the IOPURGE start option).
0020
The intended destination was not able to perform the RTP function (for example, it does not support the RTP transport tower). When a negative route setup reply with this sense code passes through an RTP-capable intermediate node, the intermediate node attempts to become the new destination and perform the RTP function.

VTAM® hint: This might be encountered due to an error in the definition of an activate-on-demand switched link, which was dialed as the result of the route setup request. If the link was predefined as HPR capable, but the partner node does not support HPR (or does not wish to support HPR protocols on the designated link), the route setup will fail when the link fails to activate as an HPR-capable link.

This should not lead to a failure to set up the session, but might lead to the use of normal APPN intermediate session routing instead of HPR.

0021
An extended border node rejected a path switch attempt due to locally defined restrictions that do not allow RTPs to pass through that node. This sense code could be set during APPN Locate search processing or route setup processing for an RTP connection that is undergoing path switch. For APPN Locate search processing, this sense code might not cause a search failure. Rather, this sense code causes APPN Locate search processing to continue, thereby allowing discovery of alternate paths to the target node, which support the path switching RTP.
