Question
What is the meaning of the "ERROR 256 Post Master" and how can I resolve it?
Answer
The " Error 256 Post Master " means a problem has occurred when communicating with some other tool using the PostMaster. The error will be observed if the communication to the SDL post master is timing out while performing an action. For example the error may be obseved while starting the sdtsdle process during the Make process.
To resolve the issue, a small modification can be made to increase the time allowed for the post master to perform an action. There is an environment variable STARTTIMEOUT which will be set to 60 seconds by default. If the Telelogic TAU tools environment is running on slow computer or on a network which is heavily loaded, start-up of a Telelogic TAU tool or services might fail due to this timeout. In such case, this environment variable, increased to an appropriate value should resolve the error.
