Sense code 80140005 received with session activation failure

Problem statement: Session activation failed with the sense code 80140005.
Common symptoms: An attempt to establish a session failed, and the sense code 80140005 (RSCV exceeds the maximum length) was returned.
Probable cause: The sense code indicates that the number of hops between the origin and destination nodes was too large, so the attempt to build the Route Selection control vector failed.
User response: Examine your network configuration to determine how many hops would be expected in the best route for the requested APPN Class of Service. If the number of hops within a single APPN network is greater than six, you may need to provide a more direct origin to the destination path.
