IXCH0522E

Explanation
CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_SFM_SSUMLIMIT) found
an exception. The system issues this message when the sysplex failure
management (SFM) policy specifies NONE or a value larger than the
SSUMLIMIT value that the check owner specifies.
 The SFM policy
specifies policyspec.   The checkowner_or_installation specification
requires requiredspec. 
In the message explanation:
     policyspec
The SSUMLIMIT specification from the SFM policy.
requiredspec
The SSUMLIMIT specification required by the check owner or by
the installation.   

The SFM policy should specify SSUMLIMIT
to limit the time a system is permitted to remain status update missing
while still sending signals. In this condition, the system is operative
to some degreebut is not able to participate in all sysplex functions.
Allowing the system to remain in this degraded state indefinitely
is likely to cause sympathy sickness and affect overall sysplex  
 performance.        

System action
The system continues processing.

Operator response
Report this problem to the system programmer.

System programmer response
         Update the existing SFM policy,
or define a new one using the         administrative data utility
IXCMIAPU.       
         Start the corrected SFM policy by
issuing the command:        

   SETXCF START,POLICY,TYPE=SFM,POLNAME=xx
