IXC289D
REPLY U TO USE THE DATA SETS LAST USED FOR typename OR C TO USE THE COUPLE DATA SETS SPECIFIED IN COUPLExx

Explanation

XCF has detected an inconsistency in the couple data sets specified in COUPLExx. This system found the couple data sets specified in COUPLExx are not the same couple data sets last used by the sysplex for this data type. The system has listed, via message IXC288I, those data sets last used by the sysplex and also those specified in COUPLExx. The operator is to indicate which is the correct set of couple data sets to be used for further processing.

In the message text:
typename
The type of data contained in the data set.

When typename is LOGR, see "LOGR Couple Data Set Use Considerations" in z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex for more information.

xx
The suffix identifying the COUPLE parmlib member.

System action

System initialization processing stops until the operator replies to message IXC289D.

Operator response

Choose one of the following replies:
U
To continue initialization with the primary and alternate sysplex data sets that were last used by the sysplex, which are not the same couple data sets specified in COUPLExx. This could have been caused by the removal of a primary or an alternate couple data set, or as the result of the addition of a new alternate couple data set after the sysplex was IPLed. A normal re-IPL should choose this option.
C
To continue initialization processing with the couple data sets as specified in COUPLExx and not choose the sysplex couple data sets that were last in use by the sysplex.
Attention:
This option should only be chosen if the sysplex couple data sets specified in the COUPLExx member are still valid since these are NOT the couple data sets last in use by the sysplex.
If an incorrect reply is entered, the system issues message IXC208I to notify the operator of the error. The system then reissues message IXC289D.

System programmer response

This message resulted from a possibly down level specification of the couple data sets in the COUPLExx parmlib member. This could be caused by the removal of a primary or an alternate couple data set or as the result of the addition of a new alternate couple data set. Updating the COUPLExx parmlib member should eliminate this message.
