NetView message provider HBONETV issues message HBOL004E with return code 15

The NetView message provider, which is the REXX module HBONETV, issues message HBOL004E with return code 15.

Cause

The HBONETV module received return code 15, which indicates that the Log Forwarder program-to-program interface (PPI) receiver buffer for the NetView for z/OS® PPI is not yet defined. The HBONETV module stops because the PPI receiver buffer is not defined.

Solution

Start the Log Forwarder before you start the NetView message provider.
