PGA-20927

password length of number is invalid; maximum length is number

Cause

The password is too long (len) to be used with APPC conversation security. The maximum allowable length for the password is max characters. This can occur only when the gateway initialization parameter PGA_SECURITY_TYPE is set to PROGRAM.


Action

The password must be changed to a shorter value on both the client system and the system where the remote transaction program is being executed. This restriction is imposed by SNA and APPC, not by the gateway.
