Alphabetical error summary

All Natural Access functions return SUCCESS (0) or an error code indicating that the function failed and a reason for the failure.

The SWIERR_ and CTAERR_DRIVER_ERROR errors returned by some PPX functions can be returned from calls made by the PPX service to swiSendPattern, swiDisableOutput, or swiMakeConnection. If these errors occur, validate that the bus streams and timeslots defined within the ppx.cfg file are accurate in the bus definitions and within the switch definition for INPUTS and OUTPUTS.

The PPX service error and event codes are defined in the ppxdef.h include file. The Natural Access error codes and the SWI service error codes are defined in the ctaerr.h and swidef.h include files.

The following table lists the PPX service errors in alphabetical order. All errors are 32-bit.
