The following are the messages directly related to the use of license keys for the Syncsort™
MFX, Syncsort PROCSort, and Syncsort PipeSort products.
- WER900A
- SYNCSORT r.r.n.n IS NOT LICENSED FOR SERIAL sssss, TYPE mmmm mmm, [LPAR nn,] MSU ccccc.
- or
- SYNCSORT r.r.n.n IS NOT LICENSED FOR SERIAL sssss, TYPE mmmm, [LPAR nn,] VERSION CODE vv.
- EXPLANATION: r.r is the MFX release number, and n.n is the TPF maintenance level. A different product name is displayed when applicable. No valid license key for use on the specified machine was found, and the grace period for this error, noted by the WER903I warning message, has expired. A key must contain the correct information for both the serial number and the machine capacity. License keys are specified either in the KEY parameter of the SYNCMAC installation options macro, or included in a data set whose name is specified in the KEYDSN parameter of SYNCMAC.
- ACTION: Execute the SYNCLIST program on the system where this message is occurring. Ensure that either the SYNCMAC KEY parameter or the data set named in the KEYDSN parameter has provided a valid key for the specified product for this machine. If you require further assistance, contact Precisely Support with the SYNCLIST output available for reference.
- WER901I
- **WARNING** SYNCSORT r.r.n.n WILL EXPIRE IN nnn DAYS
- EXPLANATION: r.r is the MFX release number, and n.n is the TPF maintenance level. A different product name is displayed when applicable. The provided license key for this machine is only valid for the next nnn days. After that time, WER902A will be issued, and the specified product cannot be used.
- ACTION: Contact the systems programmer in charge of MFX maintenance, or execute the SYNCLIST program on the system where this message is occurring and contact Precisely Support.
- WER902A
- SYNCSORT r.r.n.n HAS EXPIRED
- EXPLANATION: r.r is the MFX release number, and n.n is the TPF maintenance level. A different product name is displayed when applicable. The provided license key for this machine is no longer valid because the expiration date has passed. The specified product can no longer be used.
- ACTION: Contact the systems programmer in charge of MFX maintenance, or execute the SYNCLIST program on the system where this message is occurring and contact Precisely Support.
- WER903I
- SYNCSORT r.r.n.n IS NOT LICENSED FOR SERIAL sssss, TYPE mmmm mmm, [LPAR nn,] MSU ccccc.
- ~or~
- SYNCSORT r.r.n.n IS NOT LICENSED FOR SERIAL sssss, TYPE mmmm, [LPAR nn,] VERSION CODE vv.
- SYNCSORT WILL STOP WORKING IN nnn DAYS UNLESS A VALID KEY IS INSTALLED.
- EXPLANATION: r.r is the MFX release number, and n.n is the TPF maintenance level. A different product name is displayed when applicable. No valid license key for use on the specified machine was found. License keys are specified in the KEY parameter of the SYNCMAC installation options macro, or included in a data set whose name is specified in the KEYDSN parameter of SYNCMAC.
- Processing continues by issuing WER903I during a grace period after this error is first encountered. This will provide sufficient time to correct the problem by installing a valid key for this machine. If the grace period ends before a valid key is made available, either WER900A or WER902A will be issued and processing will terminate.
- ACTION: Execute the SYNCLIST program on the system where this message is occurring. Ensure that either the SYNCMAC KEY parameter or the data set named in the KEYDSN parameter has provided a valid key for this machine. If you require further assistance, contact Precisely Support with the SYNCLIST output available for reference.
- WER904I
- SYNCSORT r.r.n.n KEYUPDATE SUCCESSFUL; xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SELECTED
- EXPLANATION: r.r is the MFX release number, and n.n is the TPF maintenance level. A different product name is displayed when applicable. The KEYUPDATE parameter was specified, and MFX has successfully obtained a valid license key denoted by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx from MFX’s key data set. The name of the data set was specified in the KEYDSN parameter of the SYNCMAC installation options macro.
- WER905A
- SYNCSORT r.r.n.n KEYUPDATE FAILURE: reason
- EXPLANATION: r.r is the MFX release number, and n.n is the TPF maintenance
level. A different product name is displayed when applicable. The KEYUPDATE
parameter was specified, but MFX was unable to obtain a valid license key
from MFX’s key data set due to the specified reason. Possible reasons for
this failure are:
- The KEYDSN parameter of SYNCMAC was not specified when MFX was installed. KEYDSN, and not the KEY parameter, must be specified with the name of MFX’s key data set when using the KEYUPDATE facility.
- MFX was unable to dynamically allocate and/or read MFX's key data set. This can happen if you were editing the data set at the time of the KEYUPDATE run, or if the data set was not allocated as a fixed-length 80-byte file.
- No valid license key was found in MFX’s key data set.
- The MFX SVC was not available. MFX requires use of its SVC to perform the update.
- ACTION: Ensure that the KEYDSN parameter has been correctly specified and that the data set is accessible and contains a valid license key. Also verify that the MFX SVC has been properly installed. If you require further assistance, execute the SYNCLIST program on the system where this message is occurring and contact Precisely Support with the SYNCLIST output available for reference.
- WER906I
- INVALID KEY DATA SET RECORD:
- invalid record text
- EXPLANATION: One or more invalid records were found in the license key data set when performing KEYUPDATE. The first invalid record is displayed in the message text. Only comment statements, key statements and valid PARMS statements are permitted. All invalid statements are ignored.
- ACTION: Correct any errors in the key data set record that was displayed in the message text and rerun the KEYUPDATE application.
- WER907I
- SYNCSORT EXPIRING LICENSE KEY WARNING MESSAGE {ENABLED,DISABLED}
- ~or~
- SYNCSORT INVALID LICENSE KEY WARNING MESSAGE {ENABLED,DISABLED}
- EXPLANATION: These KEYUPDATE messages document whether MFX may issue certain license key warning messages. These messages also apply to Syncsort PROCSort and Syncsort PipeSort if these products have been installed. The default is to issue either the WER901I expiring license key warning message or the WER903I invalid license key warning message when applicable. During KEYUPDATE, a PARMS statement read from the key data set can disable the issuance of either of these messages. The WER907I message is intended to alert you that these warning messages may no longer be posted, though the warning period countdowns will continue. During the last seven days before the warning period ends, the warning messages are issued regardless of whether or not they have been disabled. This is done to try to prevent termination of all applications with either WER902A or WER900A.
- ACTION: No action is required if both of these warning messages are enabled and you have a valid license key that is not expiring. If you do not have a valid key or if your key is expiring, call Precisely Support as soon as possible to obtain a new license key and rerun the KEYUPDATE procedure using the new key. If any of the messages had been disabled, either remove the PARMS statement or set the warning message parameters to ON to re-enable the issuance of license key warning messages.
- WER908A
- DEGRADED PROC SYNCSORT PERFORMANCE! CALL YOUR SYNCSORT REPRESENTATIVE.
- EXPLANATION: WER900A or WER902A has been issued because there is no valid license key for Syncsort PROCSort. Processing will continue, but MFX’s high performance technique will not be used during this invocation by Syncsort PROCSort.
- ACTION: See EXPLANATION and ACTION for either WER900A or WER902A, as appropriate.
