What is it?​

The Reference section provides lookup material for the Unix Agent, including error codes, system messages, known issues, and environment details. You use these pages to identify the cause of a failure, understand what the agent reports, and verify system state. The content is organized for quick lookup rather than sequential reading.

When would you use this section?​

  • A job fails and you need to identify the error code or message returned by the Unix Agent.
  • You want to check whether a reported behavior is a known issue with a documented workaround.
  • You need to review the fields included in job resource-usage reports.
  • You are diagnosing communication or file transfer failures and need to cross-reference machine messages.
  • You need to understand how the Unix Agent modifies the system or what environment variables it passes to jobs.
