SYSTEM sysname NOT USING COUPLE DATA SET FOR CFRM REASON: text

Explanation

Indicates why a system cannot use the couple data set for CFRM. If the reason is XES function not available, since the couple data set for CFRM is only used to manage this resource the data set is not needed by this system. If the reason is couple data set has the wrong version, then the installation should format another couple data set for CFRM then use the SETXCF COUPLE operator command to make the data set available to the sysplex.

In the message text:
sysname
Name of the system which is not using the couple data set for CFRM.
XES FUNCTION NOT AVAILABLE
The XES function is not available to this system. This can be because the necessary hardware is not present.
PRIMARY COUPLE DATA SET HAS THE WRONG VERSION
The primary couple data set was formatted with a version of the CFRM format utility exit that is not supported by this system. The CFRM format utility exit is invoked by the XCF couple data set format utility.
ALTERNATE COUPLE DATA SET HAS THE WRONG VERSION
The alternate couple data set was formatted with a version of the CFRM format utility exit that is not supported by this system. The CFRM format utility exit is invoked by the XCF couple data set format utility.

System action

Processing continues.
  • If the reason was XES function not available then this system will not support using the DISPLAY XCF CF or STR operator commands to provide information and the SETXCF START, STOP, or POLICY TYPE=CFRM will not effect the CFRM policy.
  • If the reason is alternate couple data set has the wrong version, then the sysplex is running with only the primary couple data set. Loss of the primary will result in the system loading a non-restartable wait. System availability may be impacted if the installation does not provide a suitable couple data set for CFRM as an alternate.
  • If the reason is primary couple data set has the wrong version, then the sysplex is running without the couple data set for CFRM which is required to use XES services. XES services will not be available until a primary couple data set for CFRM is provided.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

If the XES function is expected to be available look in the logrec error records for problems with the XES function. Contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the logrec error records and the XCF and XES component trace. If the alternate couple data set for CFRM can not be used then run the XCF administrative data utility using the report option to determine the options used in formatting the primary and the rejected alternate couple data sets for CFRM. The alternate data set must have been formatted with options equal to or greater than the primary data set. Format a new data set then use the SETXCF COUPLE operator command to make the data set available to the sysplex as an alternate.
