IXC268I
THE COUPLE DATA SETS SPECIFIED IN COUPLExx ARE IN AN INCONSISTENT STATE

Explanation

This system found the couple data sets specified in COUPLExx to be in an inconsistent state. The data sets either are not currently in use by the systems in the sysplex or, if there are no systems active in the sysplex, are not the couple data sets last used by the sysplex. An example of an inconsistency would be if COUPLExx specified a primary of SYS1.DS1 and no alternate but the systems in the sysplex are currently using SYS1.DS1 as the primary and SYS1.DS2 as the alternate couple data set.

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

System action

The system will attempt to resolve the inconsistency by trying to determine the correct couple data sets to use. The couple data sets determined from this attempt will either be the couple data sets currently in use by the systems in the sysplex or those last used by the sysplex.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

Check the COUPLExx specification to determine if the couple data sets have been specified correctly. To avoid unnecessary processing during XCF initialization, COUPLExx should specify the couple data sets currently in use by the systems in the sysplex.
