NO BUFFER at SEND signal
NO SPACE AVAILABLE FOR ADM BUFFER
NOT POSSIBLE TO ALLOCATE A BUFFER FOR DID REQUESTS
Send to pr1_db_5min or pr2_db_24hour

Database, use the command SDDOC. See Operational Instruction Statistics and Traffic
Measurement Subsystem Event Codes, Repair.
Note: If this event code is received in the SPS EVENT LOG some information for some objects
collected for this BRP will be lost as some values will not be stored in the STS Measurement
Database. This alarm will be repeated for every BRP as long as the condition exists.

a
Possible Cause A - STS could not access the file STMPFILE. This file is used to store
measurement program data. All STS Measuring programs will not work.
b
Possible Cause B - STS could not access the STDBRCFILE file. This file is used to store
counter values for the STS Measurement Database. Counter values will be lost.
c
Possible Cause C - STS could not access the STCPDUMP file. This is used to store copied
counter data from the CP to the SP. If STS has not been configured to use the JTP
conversion mode collection mechanism, no counter data from the CP can be stored.
Note : Depending on the file reported in the (filename) field of the Add Info section, an FMS
ERROR will affect STS in a number of different ways.

Info: ERROR IN AXIOJTP JOB


Add Info: (Will be one of the following)
BREAKDOWN ON TRANSPORT LEVEL OR LOWER
CONGESTION IN JTP
CP USER NOT AVAILABLE
INCOMPLETE DATA
ILLEGAL RESULTCODE
CP FUNCTION BUSY
UNABLE TO INITIATE A CONV WITH JTP
Cause: STS has received an unexpected disconnection indication from the CP or STS has been
unable to communicate with LAVS. The CP/ JTP has encountered one of the above difficulties.
Note: If STS has not been able to communicate with LAVS expect no counter values to be
collected for this BRP.
Info: ERROR IN AXIOJTP JOB
Add Info: (Will be one of the following)
BLOCK PASSIVATED OR INDIVIDUAL VARIABLE DECREASED TO ZERO.
BUFFER CONGESTION
CLOSE - FILE ERROR
CP FUNCTION BUSY
ILLEGAL RESULTCODE
INPUT DATA ERROR
OPEN - FILE ERROR
VARIABLE SIZE DECREASED
WRITE - FILE ERROR
Cause: STS has received corrupt data ffrom the CP. STS orders then processes 150 buffers at a
time from the CP. This event code will be seen if STS tries to order data when it has become too
late in the BRP for STS to order and process more buffers before the end of the BRP.
Info: ERROR IN AXIOJTP JOB
Add Info: ILLEGAL RESULTCODE REATTEMPTING REGISTRATION
Cause: When STS tried to register with JTP it was unable to do so. STS reattempts registration.

Info: BUFFER MISSING


Add Info: For additional information reference section 5.1 Error in STS sorting or accumulation,
Add Info format.
Cause: After STS has sorted the counter values for a particular object from a particular Object
Type. STS inserts these values into a buffer it uses this buffer to store the counter values in the
STS Measurement database. STS could not write these values into the Measurement database
for this BRP as the buffer is missing.

Cause: Data being transferred from the CP must be converted into SP format. While this
conversion was taking place STS found that the string length for a DID was faulty. This may be
due to a fault in the buffer transferred from the CP.

which is too large for that variable to hold.

4.26 EVENT CODE 7148


4.26.1
4.26.1.1

Specific Event Printout


Reporting modules STFIOP, STMRGC, STMRGP, STRGC, STRGP

Info: PRINTOUT ABORTED BY I/O


Add info: Mt dest not obtainable.
Cause:
a
Possible Cause A - The Support Processor Module MESSTRANS is not obtainable.
b
Possible Cause B - The terminal you are printing to is not configured properly.
c
Possible Cause C - The terminal you are attempting to print to is currently busy.
Note: If there is a problem with MESSTRANS as it is the SP module which deals with command
and printout translations there may be no STS printouts. Also, as there is no conversation
between STS and MESSTRANS STS commands may be unrecognized by the exchange.
4.26.2
4.26.2.1

Non Specific Event Printout


Reporting modules STFIOP, STMRGC, STMRGP, STRGC, STRGP

Info: PRINTOUT ABORTED BY I/O


Add info:
Cause: This event code will occur if the operator aborts a printout with the BREAK command.
Note: EOT DURING PRINTOUT received in the report. Printout will be aborted.

4.27 EVENT CODE 7149


4.27.1
4.27.1.1

Specific Event Printout


Reporting modules STFIOP, STMRGC, STMRGP, STRGC, STRGP

Info: REPORT REQUEST ERROR


Add Info: Max number of exec instances is reached.
Cause: STS has reached the maximum number of reports allowed.
Note: Recording will be turned off when this event occurs. No file or alphanumeric reports will
contain any data for two basic recording periods
Info: REPORT REQUEST ERROR
Add Info: Simultaneous demand printouts not allowed.
Cause: The number of allowed simultaneous demand printouts has been exceeded.

5 Additional Information
5.1 Error In STS sorting or accumulation program, Add Info format.
When an error has occurred in an STS sorting or accumulation program the add Info printout is
useful to STS designers in accessing where a problem has occurred. The Add Info field will
display an error in the same general format as below but certatin parameters such as Individual
no or Block number may be replaced by parameters like Objectid or table size.
Error in p43_13_general:
Parameters:
Job no: nn
Obj type: nnn
Object number
= nn
Individual no = nnn
DID position = nn
Block number = aaannnnnnnn
END OF ERROR MESSAGE.
(Where a represents an alphabethic character)
(Where n represents a numeric value)
Example of how the additional information of an STS sorting or accumulation error will look.

6 Glossary of Terms
6.1 Object Type
An Object Type corresponds to a specific type of equipment or type of function units in the
switch for which statistical data measurement may be of interest. An Object Type corresponds to
a unique set of counters which are measurable units within the equipment.

6.2 Object
An Object is defined as an Individual within the Object Type. Each Object Type contains one or
more objects, each object having the same set of counters. If an Object Type is compared to a
file then in most cases an object can be thought of as being analogous to a record in that file.

6.3 Counter
Each object within an Object Type has a set of counters which are analogous to fields within a
record. The counters are implemented in the counter owning block and images of them at
specified intervals, called Basic Recording Periods (BRPs), are transferred to STS and stored in a
database.

6.4 BRP
The Basic Recording Period is the interval for which counters are collected before being
transferred to a database. This interval may be specified by the user as 5 or 15 minutes in the
command SDDOC.

6.5 DID
A Data Interface Description (DID), is a means of reporting a particular data structure within CP,
for use by STS in creating statistical information.

6.6 Measuring Program


This function allows the scheduling of STS reports such that a user may specify a start and an
end time at which a report shall be output.

6.7 Recording Parameter


This is a column identifier in the alphanumeric report representing either an actual counter or a
mathematical expression involving counters, constants and operators defined with the command
SDRPI.

6.8 Generation
STS stores counters read from the CP in the STS Measurement Database. The counters included
in such a reading are called a generation. The time interval between each generation is the BRP
time.

6.9 Translation Table


Translates internally recognised Object ID's into externally recognised names.

6.10 Info
The information string being reported in the event code.

6.11 Add Info


The additional information string being reported in the event code.

6.12 Job Number


A job is a piece of work STS must perform. Each job has a specific number.

6.13 Unit
The software unit identity where an event has occurred.
