311 Missing in-box path in registry.

312 Failed to construct the instruction file.

313 The package source directory cannot be found.

314 Failed to update the job source.

315 The job handler encountered an error attempting to place the send

       request in the unscheduled outbox. Possible causes are: the server
       holding the Scheduler's unscheduled outbox is not reachable (server
       may be off the network); or there may already be a send request with
       the same ID (A) in the unscheduled outbox (should not happen).

316 The job encountered an error while sending data or performing
       operations relating to the destination site. Possible causes are: X
       addresses to the destination site may be invalid (server or account
       information may be incorrect); the destination site server may not
       be running; or there may be communications or other sending-related
       errors.

317 The job encountered an error while sending a remote cancel
       instruction. The job information has already reached the destination
       site, requiring a cancel instruction to be sent to that destination
       site, informing the site to stop processing the job. Possible causes
       are: addresses to the destination site may be invalid (server or
       account information may be incorrect); the destination site server
       may not be running; or there may be communications or other sending-
       related errors.

318 The job cannot access the specified query (A) and therefore cannot
       generate the list of target workstations for the job. Possible
       causes are: SQL server is not responding; a blank queryname was
       specified; or the query was deleted after the job was created.

319 The job encountered an error trying to process the specified machine
       path (A) and therefore cannot generate the list of target
       workstations for the job. Possible causes are: an invalid site name
       or site code was specified (site groups are not allowed); the PC
       architecture has not been defined yet; or a fatal low-memory
       condition was encountered.

320 The job encountered an error trying to execute a query and there
       forecannot generate the list of target workstations for the job.
       Possible causes are: SQL server is not available; or a fatal low-
       memory condition was encountered.

321 The job encountered an error trying to reach the Job Details table
       and therefore cannot generate the list of target workstations for
       the job. Possible causes are: SQL Server is not started; SQL Server
       logon account is invalid; a named-pipe connection to the server
       running SQLServer cannot be established; or the maximum user
       connections for SQL Server has been reached.

322 The job encountered an error trying to insert a record into the Job
       Details table and therefore cannot generate the list of target
       workstations for the job. Possible causes are: SQL server is not
       available.

323 The job has been failed without performing any actions, because the
       generated list of target workstations was empty. The provided query,
       machine group, or machine path, along with any site limiting,
       resulted in zero machines being targeted. Therefore, the job has
       nothing to do.

324 The job encountered an error trying to generate the list of
       destination sites. Possible causes are: SQL server is not available.

325 The job encountered an error trying to reach the Requests table and
       therefore cannot be activated. Possible causes are: SQL Server is
       not started; SQL Server logon account is invalid; a named-pipe
       connection to the server running SQL Server cannot be established;
       or the maximum user connections for SQL Server has been reached.

326 The job encountered an error trying to insert a record into the
       Requests table and therefore cannot be activated. Possible causes
       are: SQL server is not available.

327 The job encountered an error trying to connect to the registry while
       updating job status. Job status updating will be skipped for this
       cycle.

328 The job encountered an error trying to read the registry while
       updating job status. Job status updating will be skipped for this
       cycle.

329 An error occured while trying to compress the contents of the source
       directory specified for the workstation version of the package.
       Possible causes are:  the source directory specified is invalid or
       cannot be accessed by the compression process;  or, there was
       insufficient disk space to compress the contents of the source
       directory.

330 An error occured while trying to compress the contents of the source
       directory specified for the server version of the package. Possible
       causes are: the source directory specified is invalid or cannot be
       accessed by the compression process; or, there was insufficient disk
       space to compress the contents of the source directory.

331 An error occured while trying to compress the source directory or
       file associated with the job. Possible causes are: the source
       directory or file does not exist orcannot be accessed by the
       compression process; or, there was insufficient disk space to
       compress the contents of the source directory or file.

332 The system cannot find any defined addresses by which this site can
       send to a destination site for the job. Possible causes are: no
       addresses have been defined between this site and the destination
       site; the SMS site server registry (which holds the address list) is
       not active and on the network; or, SMS_SCHEDULER does not have
       sufficient rights to access the SMS site server registry.

333 Cannot read registry on Server X. Check for missing SMS keys in
       registry.

334 Cannot update Site Table for site X. Check Sites table and SQL
       Server.

335 First config job created for site X. %5

336 Cannot read Site Control file for site X from database on SQL

       Server Y. Check SQL Server and Site Control table.

337 Cannot write Site Control file for site X to database on SQL Server
       Y. Check SQL Server and Site Control table.

338 Cannot write Site Control file to the SITE.SRV\SITECFG.BOX. Check
       for directory existence.

339 Site Control file X has bad or unknown type. Check for corrupted
       file.

340 Cannot read the Site Control file X. Check for locked or corrupted
       file.

341 Site X had bad or unknown status value in Sites table. Check SQL
       Tables.

342 Cannot change to working directory X. Check for directory existence.

343 Cannot connect to Job Source [SQL]. Check SQL Server and Jobs table.

344 Cannot insert a job into Job Source [SQL]. Check SQLServer and Jobs

       table.

345 Cannot read Job X from SQL tables. Check SQLServer and Jobs table.

346 Cannot generate a new send request for remote site intallation.

347 No address is available to reach site X. Cannot create a job.
