9210: network problems

Symptom

These error messages are displayed in the Adaptive Server error log:

2006/09/07 09:41:26.34 RepAgent (10) Error: 9210,
Severity: EX_CMDFATAL, State: 1
Fatal error from CT-Lib.
Open Client Client-Library error: Error: 84083974,
Severity: 5 -- ct_results(): unable to get layer message
string: unable to get origin message string: Net-Library
operation terminated due to disconnect.

Explanation

You see these error messages when there are network problems; for example, when a RepAgent could not initialize a CT-Lib connection, or a Replication Server returned an unexpected error. Network problems can also cause RepAgent error 9212 (which is caused by a CT-Lib error).

After you fix the network problems, execute the admin who_is_down command on the Replication Server. You see that the REP AGENT USER threads are down.

In RMS, “suspect status” (yellow) is displayed for the Replication Server, while “normal” status (green) is displayed for the RepAgent.

Solution

Fix the network problems and restart RepAgent.
