PC DirSync: Err Msg: Fatal 118 Transaction Limit Reached

• Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

During the T2 phase of automatic directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) or when the server transmit process "SRVMAIN -t" is run manually, the following errors may be displayed:

   Fatal 118 Transaction limit reached
   Fatal 166 Manual Import required for PCM:Network/Postoffice

CAUSE

This error occurs because the Network/Postoffice indicated in the error message has requested a Dir-Sync, Import, but the directory server's import response to the requestor exceeds the message limit that the requestor has specified with Config, Dir-Sync, Requestor, Options, Limit.

RESOLUTION

A manual import needs to be done with RESYNC.GLB. RESYNC.GLB can be generated on the Dir-Sync server by using import with the -s option. The file should be copied to the GLB subdirectory of the requestor postoffice and Import should be run with the -q option.

MORE INFORMATION

The administrator at the requestor postoffice should use RESYNC.GLB before adding any transactions at the postoffice. If transactions have already been added, they should be re-added as RESYNC.GLB will change the REQSYNC number in the REQCONF.GLB causing transactions in REQTRANS.GLB with a lower number than REQSYNC to be ignored.
