The BS2000 messages of relevance for the archive system are contained in the SYSPAR.ROBAR-CL.<ver>.MESSAGES file. This file contains the message numbers of the system messages that are to be forwarded by ROBAR-CL to ROBAR-SV, together with information on which message inserts are to be passed to ROBAR-SV.
Upon receipt of the messages transferred from ROBAR-CL, ROBAR-SV allocates a unique message key to each message transferred. This is done using the file message_file that contains all BS2000 messages of relevance for ROBAR and the archive system notification messages to be processed by ROBAR.
An entry in this message_file could look like this:
:*:MF000: %NKVT011 vvvvvv mmmm
Console message NKVT011 is assigned message code MF000. The VSN to be processed and the device mnemonic are passed at the same time.
Structure of the message code
The message code is 5-digit (MF000) and consists of the abbreviation MF, which identifies a console message, and a 3-digit message number. The message code enables the unique identification of any console message in the ROBAR system.
The message code, which is taken from message_file, is in turn used to specify in message_xref the actions to be executed by ROBAR.
