Sorry, I know that version is out of service.

well, /var/sna/heldalrt.dat file's permission is writable, readable.
system 'errpt' is no report.
What situation We got that message?
May be...SNA application is no problem... Only I wanna know why???

Do you need more information? :-)

thanks...

The heldalrt.dat file is used to hold alerts that CS/AIX
wants to send to VTAM. These alerts would show up in the
NPDA component of Netview at the host. CS/AIX generates
alerts for lots of situations, like a link failure.

The "O.S. error code 11" is EAGAIN as seen with:
# grep 11 /usr/include/*err*
/usr/include/errno.h:#define EAGAIN 11
/* Resource temporarily unavailable */
I am not sure what that means to CS/AIX. You said
the file permissions are writable & readable, but
you didn't say whether you actually tried to read
the file or what its size is. The file is binary,
so you won't be able to 'read' it with vi, but you
can 'read' it with other unix tools, i.e.:
# wc /var/sna/heldalrt.dat
The EAGAIN could also be a reference to the /var/sna
directory. Does the directory have read, write,
and execute permissions? Is the /var filesystem full:
# df /var

If you don't use NPDA or Netview, then you don't need these
alerts and you can probably ignore these messages. If you
do you use NPDA then you probably need to clear out the
heldalrt.dat file. To clear out the heldalrt.dat file,
do this at your next scheduled outage:
# snaadmin term_node
# sna stop
# rm /var/sna/heldalrt.dat
# sna start
# snaadmin init_node
