API return code values and descriptions.

The HSM API return code values are classified as follows:

Value	meaning
Negative	HSM communication network. Client library codes.
1 a 100	Local encryption. Client library codes.
101 a 200	External communication. Related to communication between the local workstation or server and the destination host (for example when establishing a TSL tunnel in APIs Pix). Client library codes.
1001 a 3999	Client library. Client library codes.
5000 a 36000	General. HSM codes.
36000 and above	Replication. HSM codes.

The return codes displayed on the local HSM console and in the log events are in hexadecimal representation prefixed by 8000, in the form 8000xxxx, where xxxx is the corresponding hexadecimal returned by the HSM API.

Always check the log file of the client library and the HSM, as this can provide important information to help you solve problems.
