StorageTek 6 manual How to Invoke Utility Programs, SLUADMIN Program Return Codes, Description

How to Invoke Utility Programs

For convenience, most utility programs are packaged to appear as a single, user-invoked program. The Performance Log Reblocker utility is an exception.

All other utility functions are invoked as a normal batch job using the SLUADMIN program and user-specified control statements needed to invoke the required utility function.

Utility functions represented by additional control statements are not started until the prior utility function stops and control is returned to the SLUADMIN program.

SLUADMIN Program Return Codes

The SLUADMIN program sets a return code for the execution of the job step as defined in Table 11.

Table 11. SLUADMIN Return Codes

Return Code	Description
0	All utility functions requested via control statements
	completed normally.
4	At least one utility function encountered an abnormal
	situation, but it did not cause termination of that utility
	function or any subsequent utility functions.
8	At least one utility function encountered an error
	condition that prevented continuation of that utility
	function, but any subsequent utility functions represented
	by control statements were attempted.
12	An error condition was detected that either prevented the
	start of any utility functions, or terminated the active
	utility function and prevented processing of subsequent
	utility functions.
	Note: If the return code occurred because of a problem
	with the HSC CDS or journal files, the problem must be
	resolved before the HSC can be initialized safely.

The return code for each utility function is listed in a message. For return codes other than 0, additional messages are listed providing more information and description of the error condition. Refer to the HSC Messages and Codes Guide for any messages encountered.

Examples of utility program outputs, including messages indicating the return codes, are provided throughout this chapter.
