The "slave" referred to here is the process that needs to log in to do the work.

When you connect via uvcs (which you do from UniObjects to UniVerse) the listener is unirpcd (or uvrpcd on older versions), listening on port #31438 (by default). A request to connect has unirpcd consult its services file (unirpcservices) for the name of the service that you have requested (that is, uvcs, the UniVerse common server), checks from the services file that your IP address is eligible to request that service and, if so, starts an instance of the associated executable, in this case uvapi_server. The uvapi_server is then your connection's "agent process" on the server, looking after such things as maintaining communications, monitoring the inactivity timeout interval, and so on.

When some work needs to be done, such as executing a query, a child process uvapi_slave is logged in to do the actual work. Its stdout and stderr are redirected back to its parent (uvapi_server) so that the results may be returned to the client. It is this slave process that has failed to start correctly.

Many reasons exist why this might be so. The most common, in my experience, is that there is no "clean path" to TCL - that is, the LOGIN process in the account puts unexpected text on stdout. All uvcs processes must be guaranteed a clean path to TCL. You can test @TTY = "uvcs" in the LOGIN paragraph in a similar way that you might test @TTY = "phantom" to bypass application startup for PHANTOM processes. (This might not be your actual problem, of course, and I'm not suggesting that it is, but it's something that's definitely worth investigating.)

Here's the error. I got this from the UniDK/include/Uvoaif file.

UVE_SR_SLAVE_EXEC_FAIL = 39204 ' The slave failed to start correctly

Unfortunately, just as an out of context error message, I don't
know  what it means. Maybe someone else can pick it up from here.
