The following error message is displayed in the Application Event Log:

Event ID: 103 - "An error occurred when processing incoming CGP downstream data."
Source: Reliability Server

Background

These error messages occur even if there are no sessions on the server. It was noticed that these error messages appeared after the Hotfix Rollup Pack 1 for Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 was installed. The errors remain even if Hotfix Rollup Pack 1 is removed.

Note: The problem has also been observed on XenApp 6.5.

The same error messages are displayed in the XTE log file. Following is the sample of the error messages in the XTE log file:

Solution

The event log messages appear in the event log because of extra monitoring that is enabled in Presentation Server 4.5. You can use the following procedure to disable the option to display error messages that are not required. You can set the option to display only emergency errors. To do so, complete the following procedure:

Edit the httpd.conf file from the C:\Program Files\Citrix\XTE\conf\ folder using WordPad.

Add the following lines to the file:

# Log Level
loglevel emerg

Following is an excerpt of the file after adding the required content:

#CGP Listen Port
Listen 2598
# Log Level
loglevel emerg

Save and close the file. Restart the XTE service for the change to take effect.

Note: Restarting the server overwrites the file and the changes are lost.

Change file attribute (for httpd.conf) properties to Read-only.
Restart the computer. Note that the changes are saved. All the services are started.

Note: The Event ID message is benign and as per the design of the software.

Problem Cause

Scanning port 2598 causes the XTE service to receive unexpected data. Therefore, the error message is written to the Event Log.

Run the following command from the command line interface to replicate this scenario: C:\>telnet 172.18.4.58 2598.

Additional Resources

This same error message might be displayed on the Secure Gateway Servers Event Viewer Secure Gateway Logs. Following is the error message displayed:

Description: Incoming Citrix Gateway Protocol downstream data could not be processed.

This message can be replicated by stopping the Citrix XTE Service on the server running Presentation Server.

Note: The LogLevel can be set from the least detail to the most detail. Following are the various LogLevel settings:

emerg - emergency
alert
crit - critical
