CRU210I START TIME TO FIRST SMF RECORD EXCEEDS GAP TIME FOR SYSID sysid
Explanation
The interval between the effective start date and time and the date and time of the oldest SMF record from system sysid is longer than the gap time specified as an execution parameter.
System action
The condition code is set to 8 (if not already higher) and processing continues.
Operator response
Since it is most improbable that the start time coincides exactly with the beginning of a new SMF dump data set, it is likely that the dump of the SMF recording data set active at the time of this catalog backup has been omitted. If this is so, supply the correct input and rerun the job. You may also process the omitted data set independently and concatenate the resulting output data set with the one produced in this run before the data is sorted.
In the unlikely event that the catalog backup time corresponds exactly to an SMF switch (and therefore, to the beginning of the corresponding dump data set), ignore this message.
