Explanation
One of the following occurred:
- The system IPLing into the sysplex was attempting to use an XCF
couple data set, but the level of the data set had an improper structure
for the current IPLing system.
- The operator issued a SETXCF command to activate an alternate
XCF couple data set, but the level of the data set had an improper
structure for the current system.
In the message text:
- dsname
- The data set name.
System action
For explanation 1, the system restarts initialization
of XCF after prompting the operator for a new COUPLExx parmlib member.
For
explanation 2, the system continues running with either:
- the alternate couple data set that existed before this message
was issued
- without an alternate couple data set.
Operator response
For explanation 1, respond to the system request
with a new COUPLExx parmlib member (if one is available). Notify
the system programmer if a new COUPLExx parmlib member is not available.
For
explanation 2, you can issue another SETXCF command, with an alternate
XCF couple data set that is formatted for the currently running system.
Notify'.'the system programmer.
System programmer response
If the XCF couple data set should
have been formatted at a level higher than the system that detected
the error, the detecting system should not be in the sysplex. Replace
the detecting system with a higher-level system. Otherwise, you must
reformat the XCF couple data set to be compatible with the lower-level
system and then do the following:
- For explanation 1, initiate an IPL of all systems in the sysplex
to replace the higher-level XCF couple data set with one that is compatible
with the detecting system.
- For explanation 2, have the operator issue the SETXCF command
with the reformatted XCF couple data set.
