40205 Server failed to read system parameter type: paramType, name: paramName. (ERROR).

Explanation: X-Alert message. The Control-M/EM server component fails to read a system parameter from the PARAMS table, which might be due to a problem with the database. This message does not display when the system parameter is missing from the PARAMS table, which is a normal and valid scenario.

The variables in this message are:

• paramType - the context of the system parameter. This can be a component type, task specific or a general parameter.
• paramName - the name of the requested system parameter.

Either a default hard-coded value of the parameter is used, or the last value of the parameter that was previously successfully read. Therefore, the system behavior might be different from the behavior specified in the system parameter.

Corrective Action: Check that the database is available. If it is, check the log file of the Control-M/EM server component that issued this message to see why it has failed to read the parameter. If you cannot fix the problems, run the Control-M/EM Health Check utility by typing em_data_collector from the command line and contact BMC Customer Support.
