JES member xcfmember attempted to join XCF group xcfgroup. The attempt failed because the maximum number of groups defined to the sysplex has already been attained. The maximum number of groups is specified on the MAXGROUP parameter of the DEFINEDS statement in the JCL for the XCF couple data set format utility.
The JES member terminates.
Notify your system programmer.
Format the XCF couple data set with a sufficient maximum value to include all XCF groups in your sysplex. Refer to z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex for information on how to specify the MAXGROUP parameter on the DEFINEDS statement.
