IST541I
FOLLOWING PATH DEFINITION IS IGNORED

Explanation

This message is the first in a group of messages. A complete description of the message group follows.
IST541I  FOLLOWING PATH DEFINITION IS IGNORED
IST544I  PATH list
IST523I  REASON = reason

VTAM® ignores the path definition indicated in message IST544I.

list can be either of the following:
  • VRn = ern, DESTSA = destsubarea
  • ERn = adj, tgn DESTSA = destsubarea
  • adj is the adjacent subarea number.
  • destsubarea is the destination subarea number.
  • ern is the explicit route number.
  • tgn is the transmission group number.
reason can be one of the following:
  • INSUFFICIENT STORAGE
    There is insufficient storage to build a table entry recording the existence of the route.
    ER ALREADY DEFINED
    The explicit route indicated is already defined in the same way as it is now defined in the current path definition statement.
    VR ALREADY DEFINED
    The virtual route indicated is already defined in the same way as it is now defined in the current path definition statement.
    ER MAY NOT BE REDEFINED
    The path definition attempts to redefine an explicit route that is not in a redefinable state (the route is active).
    VR MAY NOT BE REDEFINED
    The path definition attempts to redefine a virtual route that is not in a redefinable state (the route is active).

System action

If the route described is not already defined, it will not be usable.

Operator response

Save the system log for problem determination.

System programmer response

If insufficient storage is a recurring problem, you might need to increase the size of the appropriate buffer pool as determined by the output from the DISPLAY BFRUSE command.

Have the operator cancel nonessential jobs or deactivate an unused part of the network to prevent further losses. VTAM might have to be halted and restarted with increased storage.

If the route is already defined and you meant to change that definition, check the path specification for errors.
