Hello Everyone,

We are constantly getting the following error when trying to access data from CONNX or SQL Server through a CONNX OLEDB linked server.

“Error Executing Query: Adabas nucleus response code = (255); ADD2 = (00000100) SubCode = (00) SubField = (10)”

We also randomly get 255 - insufficient resources on attached buffer pool error when trying to display FDT on some tables on DBA Work bench.

Here is our configuration:

ADABAS Version 6.2.1.01  
Windows Server 2008 32 bits

results of displaying high waters:

```
                   ADANUC Version 6.2.1.01
    Database 111 High Water Marks on 23-FEB-2012 11:12:59

```

Area/Entry Size In Use High Water %

We are not really sure about the ideal configuration for the following parameters:

NCL  
LAB  
LBP

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Jorge,

unfortunately there’s no “ideal configuration” you can calculate in advance.

This appears to be a Rsp255 / Subcode 1 which indicates a LAB overflow,  
thus you will need to increase that parameter. By how much, you will ask ?  
You will have to try, I’m afraid, there’s no rule of thumb 😉

But if memory is no scarce resource on that server I’d say double it for a start.

NCL still has some cushion, so no immediate need to increase, but if you do,  
don’t set it too high.

LBP - the high water mark here doesn’t tell anything, you will need to check  
the BP stats.

Thanks Wolfgang,

We have just increased the LAB to 3,200,000 doubling our initial configuration.

So far so good and no 255 error code reported.

Will keep you posted!

We had the same issue, Adabase team have increased the LAB size, but after 2 days again this error started coming? Could there be any other issue… right now?

Dear all

I am being faced with the following error

NATURAL SECURITY LOGON FAILED DUE TO ADABAS RESPONSECODE: 255 on mainframe.

can this be related to the LBP parameter in dev.

ADARUN LBP=320000000 BUFFER POOL SIZE WAS 20480000

ADARUN LU=65535 INTERMEDIATE USER BUFFER AREA

using adabas v 8.3.3
