4.1.2
4.1.2.1 Reporting Modules STCD, STDB, STFIOP, STJTT, STMRGC, STMRGP, STOGH, STRGC,
STRGP, STRTT, STSORT
Info: SEND ERROR
Add info:
Cause: SEND ERROR is raised when the receiver of a signal is not present in the system.
Note: SEND ERROR exceptions may be symptomatic of a system which is running out of
memory.
Info: NO BUFFER
Add info: (Will be one of the following)
DID not copied from CP
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
Send to STDB pr3_stdb_adm
Cause: NO BUFFER is raised if there is no memory available to the operating system to allocate a
buffer of the requested size.
Note: When NO BUFFER occurs at runtime this is a serious problem. Expect erratic observation
alarms in the SPS EVENT LOG all relating to a shortage of system memory.
4.2.1.2
Info: NO BUFFER
Add info: n MEMORY ALLOCATION RETRIES
(Where n is a value between 1 and 5.)
Cause: STS has attempted to allocate a buffer and has run out of memory if the buffer is small
STS is halted but as this buffer is large STS will make 5 memory allocation retries before halting
STS.

4.2.2.1
Reporting modules STDB, STFIOP, STMRGC, STMRGP, STOGH, STRGC, STRTT, STSORT
Info: NO BUFFER
Add info:
Cause: NO BUFFER is raised if there is no memory available to the operating system to allocate a
buffer of the requested size.
Note: When NO BUFFER occurs at runtime this is a serious problem. Expect erratic observation
alarms in the SPS EVENT LOG all relating to a shortage of system memory.
4.3.2
4.3.2.1
Info: NO PROCESS
Add info:
Cause: NO PROCESS is a predefined exception raised by the operating system. NO PROCESS is
raised if there is no memory available at process activation. There has been a failure in
activating a process.

Add Info:
Cause: This event is raised by STS, if STS tries to write to or read from the STS Measurement
Database while the Measurement Database is not open.
a
Possible Cause A - The exchange is in an alarm state.
b
Possible Cause B - The Measurement Database is not open as STS is in the process of
creating the database.
c
Possible Cause C - While STS was attempting to store information in the Measurement
Database, STS could not calculate a record number to store data.
d
Possible Cause D - The Measurement Database has not been created properly.
e
Possible Cause E - The STDBRCFILE or the STDB24HFILE file has become corrupt.
f
Possible Cause F - File STDBRCFILE or STDB24HFILE are not installed correctly.

Cause: There was a problem encountered when STS was calculating a counters position within
the Measurement Database. The object position STS received is faulty, and could not be found.
Note: All the counter values for this object will be lost.

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.
6.8 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.

6.10 Info
The information string being reported in the event code.
6.13 Unit
The software unit identity where an event has occurred.
