Errors found during inbound CMIP processing

An inbound CMIP string is a CMIP string (either request or response) that is being received from some CMIP sender. The sender can be on a different system or on the same system.

When the SMAE portion of CMIP services is the destination system of the CMIP request or response, error handling is handled as follows:

If the error is found in ROSE, an RO-REJECT(P) is sent to the originating system.
This is true for responses and requests (both confirmed and unconfirmed).
If the error is found in CMISE, an RO-REJECT(U) is sent to the originating system.
This is true for responses and requests (both confirmed and unconfirmed).
For errors found in requests above CMISE in CMIP services, an RO-ERROR is returned if the request if confirmed.
If the request is not confirmed, the request is discarded.
For responses, the code above CMISE in CMIP services does not have any known error checking.
If an error is found at this level, CMIP services attempts to pass the response to the appropriate object or discard the message if the message cannot be routed.
If an application program detects an error during CMIP request processing, an RO-ERROR is returned if the request if confirmed.
If the request is not confirmed, the request is discarded.

For confirmed requests, the actual errors returned are to be defined by the application program, such as the VTAM® topology agent. Refer to Responding to CMIP requests for more information on how the VTAM topology agent handles such errors.
If an application program detects an error during CMIP response processing, the error handling processing is defined by the application program. Refer to Responding to CMIP requests for more information on how the VTAM topology agent handles such errors.
