CRU200I SMF RECORD GAP LIMIT EXCEEDED (BACKWARD) FOR SYSID sysid yy.ddd hh:mm:ss PRECEDING
RECORDyy.ddd hh:mm:ss RECORD
BEING
PROCESSED - DUMP FOLLOWS
Explanation
The time difference between contiguous SMF records from the same system, sysid, exceeds the specified gap interval. The date and time, yy.ddd hh:mm:ss, of the previous record from this system is more current than the date and time, yy.ddd hh:mm:ss, of the record now being processed.
Either the SMF data sets from this system, sysid, were not concatenated in date/time order or a single SMF recording data set contained non-contiguous data when it was dumped.
System action
The current record is dumped, the condition code is set to 8 (if not already higher) and and processing continues.
Operator response
If the data sets are out of sequence, a forward-gap message CRU201I should also be produced (given a correct gap specification). Use the date/time stamps of these records, to attempt to establish continuity of the SMF data from this system. If there are several of these messages, it may be easier to correct the order of the input data sets and rerun the job.
