10 Preface
Chapter
Diagnostic error and warning messages are included with AR System.

Because error checking is built into how AR System clients (for example,
BMC Remedy Administrator) interact with AR System server, you might
only see some of these messages with client applications that you create using
the AR System API. When problems occur, the system usually reports one or
more error or warning messages. These messages often provide you with
information to determine the cause of a problem. This guide lists and
describes these messages. There is also an online version of all of the messages
and descriptions available in the Error Messages form.
Occasionally, it might not be clear from the diagnostic messages what you
need to do to correct a problem. This chapter describes common problems
and outlines the process you must follow to resolve each of these problems.
If you are still unable to resolve a problem or if you encounter a problem that
is not covered in this chapter, contact your Customer Support Services
representative.
The following topics are provided:
Message reporting (page 12)
Message catalogs in UNIX (page 13)
AR System Error Messages form (page 15)
Localizing error messages (page 15)
11
Message reporting
All of the interactive AR System tools (BMC Remedy User, BMC Remedy
Administrator, BMC Remedy Alert, and BMC Remedy Import) report errors
directly to the terminal. If a tool fails during startup, the error messages are
reported at the command line from which the program was started.
Server error reporting in UNIX

AR System daemons run in the background. These daemons are not
associated with a terminal and thus cannot report errors to a terminal.
Instead, all AR System daemon errors are sent to the syslog daemon where,
depending on the configuration of your system, they are displayed or
recorded. For a complete discussion of the syslog process, see the discussion
about the syslogd process and the syslog.conf file in your operating system
reference manuals.
Remember the following points about the syslog process:
AR System daemons send messages about all fatal system and database
errors to syslog as type user.err. To receive these messages, configure
your syslog instance (using syslog.conf) to direct all messages of type
user.err to one or more locations that you define (for example, to direct
all messages to the console, specify the console device as /dev/console, or
direct all messages to a file by specifying a complete path name).
If a line in syslog.conf contains an entry of the form user.none, no
messages to class user are sent to the target on this line. Remove
user.none or include a separate line that explicitly locates user.err
messages and sends them to a target you specify.
For example, the following line specifies that you want all messages
delivered to syslog that are of the type user.err written to the file
/usr/ar/err.log:
user.err/usr/ar/err.log
To activate logging, add a line similar to the preceding line to the

/etc/syslog.conf file, and reset logging by sending a kill -1 signal to the
syslogd process to cause it to read its configuration file again.
AR System administrators can configure system logging options. For
information, see the Configuring guide.
12 Chapter 1AR System diagnostic messages
Error Messages
All errors are also written to the file arerror.log filed in the
<ar_install_dir>/db directory. (See the discussion about log files and debug
modes in the Optimizing and Troubleshooting guide.)
Server error reporting in Windows

In Windows, AR Monitor sends server start and server stop messages to an
event log. To review the contents of the event log, open the group for
Administrative Tools. Click on Event Viewer, which opens up the Event
Viewer Application Log window; AR System messages have the Source
column set to Remedy Action Request.
All errors are also written to the arerror.log file in the <ar_install_dir>\db
directory. (See the discussion about log files and debug modes in the
Optimizing and Troubleshooting guide.)
Message catalogs in UNIX

All of the messages returned by UNIX processes are stored in a message
catalog. (All messages returned by Windows processes are compiled into the
software and are not stored in an accessible catalog.)
This catalog is named arsystem.cat for AR System messages. The
installation process establishes a symbolic link in the default message catalog
area to the catalogs installed by the system.
By default, the message catalogs are stored in the following locations:
Client Platform
Message Catalog Location
HP-UX
/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N
AIX
/usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US/%N
Solaris
/usr/lib/locale/%L/LC_MESSAGES/%N
Linux
/usr/lib/locale/%L/LC_MESSAGES/%N
In the path names there are two variables:

%L specifies the value of the LANG environment variable (C by default).
%N specifies the name of the message catalog.
Message catalogs in UNIX
13
For example, the syntax for specifying AR System message catalog location
(assuming the default language environment) on Solaris is:
/usr/lib/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES/arsystem.cat
On some systems, the directory holding the catalogs is mounted as read-only,

making it impossible to store a link to the message catalogs. You might want
to store the catalogs in another location. The catalog files are located in the
locale directory under AR System installation directory (by default, this is
/usr/ar/locale).
Use the NLSPATH environment variable to place the catalogs in a directory
other than in the default directory. For example, on Solaris, if the default
catalog directory is read-only, you can link to the catalogs by setting the
NLSPATH environment variable as follows:
setenv NLSPATH /usr/ar/locale/%N:/usr/lib/locale/%L/LC_MESSAGES/
%N
Note: Include the default directory in the NLSPATH environment variable to

make sure that catalogs for other products are still accessible.
See the documentation supplied with your operating system for more
information about internationalizing message catalogs.
Message not in catalog

Problem
If you receive the Message not in catalog; Message number =

<###> message, a process cannot access the message catalog.
Action
Make sure that the message catalogs exist, that they are located in the
appropriate directory, and that the NLSPATH environment variable is
set correctly.
Make sure that the setting of your LANG environment variable is set to
the correct language. You can unset this variable, or you can set it to the
default value of C to cause the system to default to using the English
language catalog.
Error Messages
Messages are returned by the server or the client. In general, messages with
numbers below 1000 are from the server, while messages 1000 or higher are
from the client. Errors above 10000 are defined by workflow (active links,
filters, and escalations) and might come from either the server or the client.
Make sure that the proper settings of LANG and NLSPATH are in place on both
the server and the client before running the process that is returning the
error. Also, the arsystem.cat file must be readable by all. If you set up
symbolic links, each end of the link must be readable by all.

In addition to this guide, the AR System Error Messages form is available to
search for notes, warnings, and error messages. After installation of
AR System, use the following procedure to import both the AR System Error
Messages form and the error message data.
To set up the AR System Error Messages form

1 An AR System administrator must use BMC Remedy Administrator to
import the form definition file from this location:

<ar_install_dir>\arserver\help\remerror.def
<ar_install_dir>/help/remerror.def
(Windows)
(UNIX)
2 Use BMC Remedy Import to import error message data from this file:
<ar_install_dir>\arserver\help\errars.arx
<ar_install_dir>/help/errars.arx
(Windows)
(UNIX)
The AR System Error Messages form is now ready for use. Select AR System
in the product list to search for AR System error messages, including
flashboards and notification error messages.
Localizing error messages

The AR System Message Catalog form is provided to enable administrators
to provide localized versions of error messages, help text, menus, and other
text strings displayed to users in applications that are customized by locale.
The use of this form can be enabled or disabled. You can use this form in both
UNIX and Windows environments. For more information, see the Form and
Application Objects guide.
15
Because these error messages can be modified for localization, the message
text a user sees might not match the text in this guide if the message has been
overridden in the AR System Message Catalog form. The meaning of the
message will still be the same, but the text might not match exactly.
Note: Error 59 cannot be localized because the user is not logged in when this
message would occur. As a result, AR System cannot apply the user's locale
preference at that point, so AR System does not have a way to obtain the
locale to obtain the localized message from the server.
Chapter

Finding AR System error messages

The Error Messages guide documents only those error messages used in
AR System. It makes no attempt to be backward-compatible with previous
versions of AR System if a feature has become obsolete, for example,
administrator commands.
The chapter is arranged according to the following general ranges of
messages (See the following table). However, you should note that error
messages for certain BMC Remedy products are not documented in this
chapter. These exceptions are noted. For those, you will need to see the
appropriate product manual. For example, to find error messages for the
BMC Remedy Approval Server, see the documentation in that suite of
products.

Error
Message not in catalogmessage number = <message_number>.

An error or warning occurred in the system, and the text corresponding to that error or
warning could not be found. (The tag, ARERR, indicates that the condition is an error, while
ARWARN indicates a warning, and ARNOTE indicates a note.) There are several possible
causes of this problem.
Most likely, the message catalog is not accessible to you. see the discussion of message
catalogs in the Configuring guide for details on how to correct this problem.
If the message catalog is accessible (you are getting most error messages but not this
message), an event occurred for which there might not be a corresponding error message in
your catalog. If it is not present in this chapter, contact BMC Remedy Customer Support,
and provide the message number and the circumstances that prompted the message.
20
Note
AR System server terminated when a signal or exception was received by the server.
The server for AR System (arserverd) was terminated by a signal. The number following
this error is the signal that was received.
If the signal is 15, you can probably restart the server and continue to work. The process was
killed either accidently or intentionally by a user in your environment.
21
Note
AR System server terminatedfatal error encountered.

A fatal error occurred within the arserverd process. The details about the error are in an
associated message. A generic message indicates that the error was fatal, and the arserverd
process is shutting down.
22
Error
Failure occurred during open or write to the filter or escalation log file.
23
Note
Open or write action to the filter or escalation log file resumed successfully.
24
Error
Failure while trying to run the filter or escalation process.
A file system error occurred while AR System was running a filter or escalation that logs
information to a file (using the Log to File action). An associated message detailing the
reason for the failure appears with this message. Processing continues, but logging to the log
file is suspended until the problem is corrected (see Error 23).
A failure was reported on an open or write action to the log file identified by Error 22.
Additional actions occurred to access this file, and the file is now accessible and can be
written to. Any operations between the message indicating a write failure (Error 22) and this
message are not included in the log file.
An error occurred while AR System was executing a filter or escalation that runs a process.
An associated message provides details about why the process could not be executed. Verify
that the process definition is correct. If necessary, correct the process definition in the filter
or escalation.
Error Messages
25
Error
Fields in set fields action incompatible with form for filter or escalation.
The filter or escalation being executed is attempting to set values in fields that do not exist in
the target form. Correct the definition. Specify values only for fields that exist in the target
form.
A common cause for this error is a filter or escalation that tries to assign a value to a field that
formerly existed on the form but has been deleted since the definition was created.
26
Error
Administrator operations are disabled on this server.
27
Note
This version of the Action Request System is ready for use or evaluation without purchasing
or activating an authorization key. For unlimited capabilities, contact your sales
representative or visit www.remedy.com.
The AR System server has been configured to disallow administrator operations. If the server
is part of a group of servers sharing the same database, perform the server operations on the
server in the group that allows administrator operations.
This version of the AR System has a maximum limit of 2000 requests per database table,
includes a maximum of three fixed licenses, and is configured for each client to access a
maximum of one server. To obtain a version of AR System without these limitations, contact
your AR System sales representative, an authorized reseller, or visit www.remedy.com.
28
Error
The AR System server does not have a license. Previous demo license has expired. This
system can be used for evaluation but is not allowed for production use. Contact your
distributor for license information.
The demo license for the system on which you are attempting to run the AR System server
has expired. The system is now running in an unlicensed mode (see Error 27).
You must obtain a license to run AR System server in any mode other than evaluation mode.
29
Note
The AR System server license is a demo license that expires <expiration_date>.
30
Error
You are already at the limit of the number of fixed user licenses of the type <license_type>.
You are currently operating with a demo license and the license will expire on the date
indicated. Contact your distributor for information about upgrading your license.
You attempted to create a new user and assign this user a fixed license. Your current number
of users is equal to your current number of fixed licenses. You can add the user with a read,
none, or floating license, but not a fixed license.
The <license_type> is replaced by write, full text, or flashboards, to indicate the type
of fixed license.
If you have no more fixed licenses, verify that the sample users were deleted. For a more
detailed explanation, see the Configuring guide.
Contact your distributor for information about obtaining additional licenses.
21
31
Note
A fixed <license_type> license was issued for the new user: <x_of_y>.
You have created a new user who is assigned a fixed license. This message is reporting the
successful creation of a user and displays the current number of users having a fixed license
and the total number of users that are allowed.
The <license_type> is replaced by write, full text, or flashboards to indicate the type
of fixed license.

Note
AR System server terminated normally.
33
Error
Failure occurred during execl( ).
34
Error
Error occurred while opening the AR System server lock file.
35
Error
Server shut down without problems.

The AR System has failed to start a process. Make sure that your system has no resource
problems that prevent new processes from starting.
AR System server (arserverd, arservdsd, or arservftd) opens a lock file named ar.lck
at start-up, and ar.lck.<rpcnum> (ar.lck.390601 for arservdsd and ar.lck.390602
for arservftd) for servers on alternate RPC sockets. These files are used to prevent multiple
copies of the AR System processes from being started on a single RPC socket simultaneously.
An associated file system error message supplies details about the problem. Correct the
problem indicated by the message, and run the server again.
Another copy of the server is already running on the same RPC socket.
Only one instance of AR System server can be run (on a specific RPC socket) on a machine
at one time. If there is already a server running in this RPC socket, no action is required.
If the server is not running, you have probably encountered a known problem with the NFS
lock manager on Sun workstations. At times, the lock manager keeps a lock active even when
the process holding the lock is no longer running. If no arserverd process is running, free
the lock by deleting the lock file. Start the arserverd process when this file has been
removed.
36
Error
37
Error
The database is not the expected version. You may need to run an upgrade program.
AR System server (arserverd) expects a different version of the AR System database than
the version being referenced. AR System server cannot run against an unknown version of
AR System database.
Error occurred while accessing one of the debug trace files.
The system debugging mode has been activated, and the system cannot access one of the
debugging trace flags. The associated message provides details about the failure. To correct
the problem, see the message. The system continues to run, but debug tracing to the file is
disabled.

Error
A character field with a $MENU$ pattern is failing due to errors retrieving the character menu
to validate against.
The command line argument displayed on the following line is not a legal command line
argument for AR System server. The command line argument is ignored and processing
continues.
The server is configured to run multiple queues, but you do not have a multiple server
license. The RPC socket setting is being ignored, and processing continues.
A $MENU$ pattern is specified for a field with a character menu, and the server is
encountering an error while building the menu to verify the value against. The error can be
due to one of the following reasons:
The menu is built from a search against a form that is on a different server. The server
restricts access locally to the same server process for performance and consistency reasons.
You cannot use a $MENU$ pattern verification for a remote search.
The menu is built from a search against a local form, but the search is encountering an
error during retrieval.
The menu is built from a file, and the file cannot be found.
The menu is built using a direct SQL command against another server. The server restricts
access locally to the same server process for performance and consistency reasons. You
cannot use a $MENU$ pattern verification for a remote SQL command.
The menu is built using direct SQL against a local database, but the command is
encountering an error during retrieval.

that memory space by shutting down unneeded processes. Restart processes that have been
running for a while to recover space those applications might have leaked over time.

unneeded processes. Restart processes that have been running for a while to help recover
space those applications have leaked over time.

Active link <active_link_name> is already used by <control_field_name>. Are you sure you
want to move it to <control_field_name>?
Real numbers must have a precision (number of places to the right of the decimal point)
within the specified range.
You must give the field coordinates (X, Y location) such that the field will fit within the
maximum dimensions of a view (1500 x 3000).
You must give the field coordinates (X, Y location) such that the field will fit within the
maximum dimensions of a view (1500 x 3000).
You have restored the selected fields from the database. Some of these fields might have been
added to the current view since you last loaded the form; if so, they will no longer appear in
the current view. Use the Fields in View dialog box to see which views the fields are in.
The current operation can affect the display properties of one or more other views that are
not currently loaded. If you continue, you can switch to the other views that contain the
affected fields to see the result before applying the changes to the form.
Active links can be attached to only one button or menu item. Attaching an active link
detaches it from its current button or menu item (if it has one).
2532
Warning
You are removing these trim or control (or both) fields from their only view: <view_name>.
These fields will be deleted from the database. Do you want to continue?
When trim or control fields are removed from all views, they are marked for deletion, just as
if you had explicitly deleted them.
2533
Warning
A time-out occurred while copying form <form_name> to <form_name>. The operation

most likely succeeded but the server is still busy.
This warning occurs when using the Save Form As command to copy a form. The server is
busy and has timed out. Your form has probably been copied, but verify at a later time
(when the server is not busy) that the copy operation has succeeded.
2534
Warning
The layering of some fields in this view was not valid. The problem has now been corrected,
and the changes will take effect when you save the form.
BMC Remedy Administrator has detected and corrected a minor problem with the front-toback ordering of fields in this view, and all fields in the view will be saved to the database
when form changes are applied. This usually occurs because of direct API setting of field
properties, or because of problems with the conversion of an old form definition.

Warning
There are no toolbar items on any of the menu items.
2537
Warning
At least one trim, button, or menu item field will be deleted because you are deleting its only
view.
Normally, the Copy operation is disabled when join fields are selected. This message
indicates that a mixture of join and trim fields was selected, and a Paste operation was
attempted. Only the Paste operation of trim fields will succeed. You cannot have a a join field
appear more than one time in a form.
No menu items in the current view have an associated toolbar item. Therefore, BMC Remedy
Administrator cannot display the Toolbar Layout dialog box.
If you delete this element from this view, it will not exist on any view; it will be completely

You have specified an ID within the reserved range. Do you want to save this field anyway?
While creating a new field in a form, you specified a field ID that is less than 536870911. Field
IDs in this range are reserved by AR System.
Unless you are intentionally using the AR System reserved field ID range, cancel this
operation, and choose a field ID outside of the reserved range.
2540
Warning
None of the requested field deletions occurred on the server. Please close and reopen the
form after the save operation has completed.
This warning is returned because, although the form is in the process of being saved, the
delete operation did not complete as expected. To continue, open the form after the save
operation completes and try deleting the fields again.
2541
Warning
This form contains a non-standard set of Distributed Fields. Select none, basic, full, or
advanced to return to a standard set of fields.
An inconsistent set of distributed fields is present in your form, perhaps because one or more

An entry point guide has been created without specifying a starting active link. The entry
point guide will not execute correctly in an Application List field without a starting active
link. To remove this warning, specify a starting active link for the active link guide.
This warning is returned because a single object that is a member of a locked group cannot
be deleted. If you delete an object that belongs to a locked group, such as a filter in a locked
group of filters, all objects within the locked group are deleted.
2571
Warning
The form, <form_name>, appears to have dependant workflow that is part of a lock group.
Deleting this form will trigger the deletion of one or more lock groups, would you like to

The server failed to save some of the fields you attempted to add to or modify on this form.
Nevertheless, the form was still created on AR System server, along with other fields that
were modified. This problem might be connected to the inability of your underlying RDBMS
to create these fields.
During the login process, the server failed to load the different AR System objects connected

BMC Remedy Administrator has issued an API call to refresh the fields on this form, but the
call has failed due to instability in the client tool.
To handle this problem, close both the form and the BMC Remedy Administrator client.

An error indicating that the qualifier could not be loaded might indicate that fields
referred to are not present. It might also be that the labels of the fields are referred to in the
macro query but the conversion process is expecting the database names of the fields.
Verify that the conversion of the query string to a qualifier is correct.
An error indicating that the QBE cannot be loaded might be due to the schema not being
available. See the following workaround.
The server is referred to by a keyword or field ID, and should be available to process QBE
queries. See the following workaround.
An error indicating that the QBE query could not connect to the server.
Workaround: The schema and server names are not available to queries and can be validated.
The schema and server names are represented by
$field-id$. These values may be replaced with specific values for conversion. After
successful conversion, the administrator can see $field-id$ by directly editing the Open
Window action. When editing the Open Window action, the administrator must choose the
Advanced option, allowing for the schema and server names to be edited.
Another error that occurs when converting macros is that the query is converted but some
field/value pairs that were present in QBE part of query are not there.
Workaround: Verify that the fields are display fields. Since your query is on field value in
database and display fields, you do not have any associated value in the database. Display
fields should not be present in a QBE, and are ignored during conversion.

Localization has been turned on but no Message Catalog exists.

This error is returned because the Localize Server check box has been selected in the
Advanced tab of the Server Information dialog box, yet no AR System Message Catalog form
can be found on the server. There might be several reasons why you see this error:
The form itself might have been accidentally deleted.
A field on the Message Catalog form might have been deleted.
Corrupt data might have been added.
To continue, make sure the form exists. If it does not, stop and start the server. The form will
be automatically recreated at system startup. If for some reason the form itself has become
corrupted, you might need to delete the form and start over. In this case, export any data into

Error encountered while loading the shared library

The AR System Server was unable to load a shared extension library, such as the CMDB
engine. Shared libraries are registered for loading in the ar.conf file. The server will
function, but any functionality associated with the shared library will be unavailable. The
error message is written to the arerror.log file.
Check the library paths specified in ar.conf. Make sure that the shared library and all
dependent libraries are specified correctly, and restart the server.

9781
Error
Role name was not found. Verify that the role name is valid.
When a shared extension library is loaded, the AR System server invokes callback routines to
identify the library to the server. This error occurs when the ar.conf file contains multiple
registry entries for the same library, or when the identification callback routine returns an
error.The library is then unloaded from memory. The server will continue to function, but
any functionality associated with the shared library will be unavailable. The error message is
logged in the arerror.log file.
identify the library to the server. This error occurs when the server invokes a routine that is
not implemented by the shared library. The library is then unloaded from memory. The
server will continue to function, but any functionality associated with the shared library will
be unavailable. The error message is logged in the arerror.log file.
identify the library to the server. This error occurs when the shared library does not
implement a required routine. The library is then unloaded from memory. The server will
continue to function, but any functionality associated with the shared library will be
unavailable. The error message is logged in the arerror.log file.
The server loads a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) shared library and assigns
it a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) identification number. The RPC number is returned by
the library through a callback routine invoked by the server. In this case, the routine returned
an invalid RPC value. To resolve the problem, check the implementation of the callback
routine and make any necessary corrections.
On server startup, an initialization routine runs for all shared extension libraries that are
loaded. The initialization routine returned an error, and the shared library was unloaded
from memory. The server will function, but any functionality associated with the shared
library will be unavailable. To resolve the problem, check the implementation of the routine
and make any necessary corrections.
This is an internal error. A shared library attempted to use an internal API exposed by
AR Server, but the API version is incompatible with the AR Server version.
This message appears when the server attempts to resolve a role name to a role ID, but the
role does not exist. Role names may be specified by a user or by a workflow. Check the
associated role name and make sure it is valid.
