IXC201A
RESPECIFY COUPLE SYSTEM PARAMETER, REPLY COUPLE=xx

Explanation

XCF cannot initialize this system into the sysplex because the current COUPLExx parmlib member is unusable. A previous message states why the current COUPLExx parmlib member cannot be used.

In the message text:
xx
The suffix identifying the COUPLE parmlib member.

System action

System initialization stops until the operator specifies a new COUPLExx parmlib member.

Operator response

Do one of the following:
  • Reply COUPLExx, where xx is either:
    • The same suffix to try the same COUPLExx parmlib member again.
    • A different suffix to specify an alternate COUPLExx parmlib member, if there is one available. Then notify the system programmer.
  • If there is no alternate COUPLExx parmlib member, notify the system programmer, who will correct the COUPLExx parmlib member. Provide any preceding informational messages.

    After the system programmer corrects the COUPLExx parmlib member, respecify it.

    If it is necessary to reIPL to correct the COUPLExx parmlib member, specify COUPLE=00 to IPL the system in XCF-local mode. Make sure the data set is protected with adequate serialization.

  • Have another system that shares access to the SYS1.PARMLIB data set fix any errors in the COUPLExx parmlib member in error. Then reply COUPLE=xx to specify the same COUPLExx parmlib member.

System programmer response

Do one of the following:
  • If there is an alternate COUPLExx parmlib member available, have the operator specify the alternate. Correct the current COUPLExx parmlib member.
  • If there is no alternate COUPLExx parmlib member available, correct the COUPLExx parmlib member before system initialization can continue. Look for a preceding message explaining the problem. When the parmlib member is correct, ask the operator to respecify it.
