The ASU categorizes failure return codes. This topic explains the ASU return codes and categories.
When the ASU completes a request successfully, it returns a return code of zero (0). If a failure is detected, the ASU return code is a positive number greater than zero.
The ASU assigns a specific failure return code for each type of error. Although a failure return code signals that a failure has been detected, it does not indicate a specific failure. To determine the specific error, refer to the return code explanation in the error message that is displayed.
The error codes are listed in the following table, along with brief descriptions of the possible reasons for the failure.
