IXC222D
REPLY U TO USE RESOLVED DATA SETS OR R TO RESPECIFY COUPLEXX

Explanation

This system encountered an error while attempting to access the couple datsets specified in COUPLExx. The system was able to determine a candidate couple data set configuration, but could not determine whether there are other active systems using a different couple data set configuration. Message IXC275I has been issued to identify the candidate configuration.

System action

System initialization processing stops until the operator replies to message IXC222D.

Operator response

Choose one of the following replies:
U
To continue initialization processing using the candidate couple data set configuration described by IXC275I.
Note: Choose this option only if there are no other active systems in the sysplex. When other active systems exist and are using another couple data set configuration, responding 'U' might cause those systems to fail. The IPLing system will reinitialize function couple data sets, such as CFRM, ARM, SFM, etc. that are described in COUPLExx because it will conclude that no other system is using them. The reinitialization will prevent the active systems from using them, causing WAIT 0A2 reason code 9C on any system on which CFRM is in use.
R
To request that XCF be reinitialized. XCF will stop using the current couple data sets and issue message IXC207A to prompt the operator for a new COUPLExx parmlib member.
If an incorrect reply is entered, the system issues message IXC208I to notify the operator of the error. The system then reissues message IXC222D.

Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

This message indicates that the COUPLExx parmlib member specifies a sysplex couple data set configuration that is not the configuration currently or most recently used by the sysplex. This could be caused by the removal of a primary or an alternate or by the addition of a new alternate couple data set. Updating the COUPLExx parmlib member to describe the in-use or last-used couple data set configuration should eliminate this message.
