1 Communication Error Codes

1.1 OFTP Cause and Diagnostic Codes

1.1.1 ESID Error Codes

The ESID (End session ID) error codes are set by the OFTP protocol at session termination.

Code (Decimal) Problem Description
00 Normal Session Termination No problem has occurred.
01 Command not recognised An exchange buffer was received, containing an invalid OFTP command. The OFTP monitor at the remote does not conform correctly to the OFTP standard. Get your trading partner to correct the problem at their end.
02 Protocol violation An OFTP command has been received that is invalid at this point in the protocol flow. e.g. an SSID was received inside a file transmission. Get your trading partner to correct the problem at their end.
03 User code not known to system A Start Session (SSID) command contains an unknown or invalid Identification Code. Make sure you and your partner have the EDI codes of the sender and recipient set up correctly.
04 Invalid password A Start Session (SSID) command contains an invalid password. Make sure you and your partner have the Send and Receive passwords set up correctly.
05 Local site emergency close down There is an emergency shutdown in process and sessions are being terminated.
06 Command contained invalid data An OFTP command contained invalid data, e.g. a field that should contain a 'Y' or 'N' contained something else; or a numeric field contained alphabetic characters.
07 Exchange Buffer size error An exchange buffer has been received that has an invalid size. If the exchange buffer contains an OFTP data command, then the exchange buffer size exceeds that negotiated at session start-up. If the exchange buffer contains an OFTP command then the size of the exchange buffer is inconsistent with the size of the OFTP command.
08 Resources not available While processing an OFTP command, resources needed within the computer system could not be made available. e.g. memory allocation for the processing of a received OFTP exchange buffer could not be allocated. This type of problem is machine dependent and can normally be overcome by retrying the communications.
09 Time-out An OFTP command has not been acknowledged for a significant period of time. Normally this is caused by computer overload at the remote end or an invalid configuration, either locally or remotely.
10 Mode or capabilities This situation can occur when both OFTPs specify 'incoming only' or both specify 'outgoing only' for the direction of file transfer. Clearly it is not practical to continue in such an event.
11 Invalid challenge The Authentication Response (AURP) to an Authentication Challenge (AUCH) command was not correctly signed. This is probably because the wrong certificate has been used.
12 Secure authentication required In the Start Session (SSID) command, the caller has requested authentication but the trading partner does not support it. Agree between yourselves whether authentication is to be used.
99 Unspecified abort code An error or event occurred for which no specific code is defined.

1.1.2 SFNA/EFNA Error Codes

These codes are set during communications by the OFTP protocol at the start of a file (SFNA = Start File Negative Acknowledgement) and end of a file (EFNA = End File Negative Acknowledgement).

Code (Decimal) Problem Description
00 File successfully processed No problem has occurred.
01 Invalid filename The virtual filename does not contain valid ODETTE characters. Ensure that only upper case alphabetic characters, numbers 0 to 9 and characters & ()-./ are used.
02 Invalid destination The destination EDI code (file or message node) is not profiled in the Comms Manager section of the Administrator.
03 Invalid origin The origin EDI code (file or message node) is not profiled in the Comms Manager section of the Administrator.
04 Storage record format not supported The storage format for the virtual file cannot be supported by the destination. This would occur if, for example, a Variable length record was sent to a machine that could only handle Fixed length records.
05 Maximum record length not supported The maximum record length that the destination machine can handle has been exceeded.
06 File size is too large The file is too large for either the OFTP or the remote site to handle.
10 Invalid record count The 'Number of records' field, stored on the EFID, does not match the number counted during the transmission.
11 Invalid byte count The 'Number of bytes' field, stored on the EFID, does not match the number counted during the transmission.
12 Access method failure The remote site has had a problem storing the virtual file. This is often caused by the receiver running out of disk space.
13 Duplicate file identity The Virtual filename, Date, and Time should be unique. This message states that a second virtual file has been transmitted with exactly the same name, date and time as an existing file.
14 File direction refused A sender only cannot receive a file and vice versa.
15 SFNA: Cipher suite not supported EFNA : Invalid signature If present in a SFNA, the algorithm used to sign/encrypt the file is not supported. Agree with your trading partner which cipher suite you will use. If present in an EFNA, the signature failed verification. The file has become corrupted.
16 SFNA: Encrypted file not allowed EFNA : Decryption failed If present in a SFNA, the receiver does not want files to be encrypted. If present in an EFNA, the file could not be decrypted. It has become corrupted.
17 SFNA: Unencrypted file not allowed EFNA : Decompression failed If present in a SFNA, the receiver requires files to be encrypted. If present in an EFNA, the file could not be decompressed. It has become corrupted.
18 Compression not allowed The receiver does not support advanced OFTP compression.
99 Unspecified reason code There has been an error that does not fit into any of the above categories.
