5036

Contents type inconsistent

Cause. A service has been attempted without specifying a valid document type (for example, if the application or FTAM user tries to perform an FTAM-2 simplification of an SQL file); the contents type was inconsistent with the Guardian file structure, specifically the file type value; the application or FTAM user attempted to open a file specifying a maximum-string-length value outside the supported range; or the application or FTAM user specified an unsupported value of the universal-class parameter.

Effect. The responder rejects the request.

Recovery. The application or FTAM user should retry specifying a valid document type—one that is consistent with the file type of the Guardian file being accessed—and a supported universal-class value.

For information about document types and contents types, refer to Section 4. Refer to Table A-10 for FTAM contents type and Guardian file structure equivalents:
