Outbound messages

For the outbound messages to a particular system if the sum of the storage for the CLASSDEF and the PATHOUTs is insufficient, the signal will be rejected. This is reported on the RMF™ XCF report as REQ REJECT for OUTBOUND requests. In general, any non-zero value in this field suggests some further investigation. The problem is generally resolved by increasing MAXMSG on the CLASSDEF or PATHOUT definition. See Figure 1 for an example.
