What is it?

The Machine Messages section catalogs the messages, codes, and status indicators that the Unix Agent produces during job execution and file transfer operations. These pages cover agent log messages, running-state job information, exit codes for completed jobs, file transfer error codes, STDERR output categories, and JORS/FTServer errors. You use these references to diagnose failures and understand what the agent reported at each stage of processing.

When would you use this section?

• A job ends in a failed or unknown state and you need to interpret the exit code or status message.
• A file transfer operation fails and you need to identify the specific SMAFT or STDOUT/STDERR error code.
• You are reviewing Unix Agent log output and need to look up a message ID or recommended corrective action.
• You need to understand what information is displayed in Enterprise Manager Operation for a running Unix Agent job.
• A JORS or FTServer process fails to start and you need to correlate the log entry to a known error condition.
