AWSBCW - Writer messages
This section lists error and warning messages that might be issued by the writer component.
The message component code is BCW.
AWSBCW001W Warning illegal option(s): !1
AWSBCW002W Writer cannot find a valid wr read value in the localopts file. The value found is as follows: "wr_read". The default value is used.
Explanation
The wr_read option in the localopts file is the number of seconds that the writer process waits for an incoming message before checking for a termination request from netman. It is either not specified or the wr_read value is not a valid number or is out of range. The default value (150 seconds) is used.
wr_read is the value specified in the localopts file. A value given here of Unknown means that no value was found in the localopts file.
System action
Writer proceeds using the default value.
Operator response
If the default value is not what you require, set a valid value for the wr_read option in the localopts file.
AWSBCW003E Writer cannot connect to the remote mailman. The following gives more details of the error: "error_text".
Explanation
One possible reason is that the socket descriptor passed to writer by netman is not valid.

AWSBCW047E Writer encountered an error while launching the following command: "command_file_name". The following error was received from the operating system: "error_number"
Explanation
Writer has launched the wmaeutil shell script to stop the HCL Workload Automation connector, but the script has failed. Most commonly occurring errors are those related to access rights to the wmaeutil shell script (wmaeutil.cmd on Windows, wmaeutil.sh on UNIX), resource availability (memory, process handles) or the IBM Management Framework configuration.
file_name is the command that writer is launching.
error_number is the system error number.
System action
Writer proceeds.
Operator response
Using the error message, identify the problem and resolve it.
Then reissue the remote command you were using to stop the connector.
AWSBCW051E Writer was unable to find this workstation in the Symphony file during its initialization phase, or when it is trying to purge the Symphony file and rename Sinfonia file to Symphony. The following gives more details of the error: "error_text"
Explanation
error_text describes the error and includes the operating system error message.
System action
Writer stops.
Operator response
Verify that the name that you specified for the parameter 'thiscpu' in the localopts file is the same as the name you specified during the definition of the workstation in the mozart database. If there is a mismatch, you must do one of the following:
- Correct the parameter 'thiscpu' in the localopts file and stop and restart writer (one way to do this is to unlink the workstation, wait for Writer to timeout and then relink it).
- Correct the workstation name in the mozart database and re-issue the job or job stream that needs to use it.
If there is a match, or you cannot find or open the Symphony file, there could have been a corruption of the Symphony file during the transfer to the fault tolerant agent.
Even if the workstation name in the Symphony file is correct, the Symphony file itself may still be corrupted in some way not immediately obvious.
To correct a Symphony file corruption, see the chapter in this guide on 'Symphony file corruption'.
