Connectors that are informed of the loss of connectivity event can examine the EEPLLOSSCONNDELAYACTION field in the IXLYEEPL to determine if MVS™ is initiating policy-based actions. EEPLLOSSCONNDELAYACTION is a bit that indicates the following:

• ON — MVS is taking policy-based actions, and will subsequently be reporting one of two actions to the event exit.
  • A Rebuild Quiesce event will be presented if MVS determines that rebuild processing is to be initiated.
  • A XES Recommended Action event will be presented at a later time to trigger action by the connection to disconnect from the structure.
• OFF — MVS could not process a policy action. This condition might occur for a variety of reasons including:
  • There is not an SFM policy that is active on ALL the systems in the sysplex, or there is a change that is being processed for the SFM policy across systems in the sysplex and the change has not yet been observed by all systems in the sysplex.
  • Rebuild is already in progress for the coupling facility structure.
