ICH591A
IF SYSTEMS FROM MULTIPLE SYSPLEXES USE THE DATABASE WITH MASTER DATASET DSNAME ON VOLUME VOLSER IN DATA SHARING MODE, DATABASE CORRUPTION WILL RESULT. YOU ARE INITIALIZING INTO DATA SHARING MODE AND PROFILE IRRPLEX_SYSPLEX-NAME, IN CLASS CLASS INDICATES DATA SHARING MODE. IF THE DATABASE IS NOT BEING USED BY ANOTHER SYSPLEX, THEN SPECIFY 'CONTINUE'. OTHERWISE SPECIFY 'FAILSOFT' AND THE SYSTEM WILL ENTER FAILSOFT MODE.

Explanation

The APPLDATA field of one or more IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profiles, which are not for this sysplex, indicates data sharing mode. This system is currently changing to data sharing mode.

The data set name table (ICHRDSNT) for this system specifies RACF® sysplex communication, and because it is not the first system to join the XCF group IRRXCF00, the databases and the current mode communicated by the group data set name table, which reported that the group is in data sharing mode. A database cannot be safely shared in data sharing mode with a system in another sysplex, neither can a system in data sharing mode share a database with a system that is not in data sharing mode. Other IRRPLEX profiles are incompatible with the data sharing mode requested for the initialization of this environment.

The ICH600A WTOR is issued after this message to obtain a response.

Specify CONTINUE if:
  • you copied the database from an environment that shared the database with another sysplex in data sharing mode, but which is no longer true for this environment
  • the sysplex was renamed, and the old IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profile was detected
  • one or more IRRPLEX_ profiles were manually altered or created incorrectly
    • the profile name indicates a sysplex that is not sharing the database
    • the APPLDATA field indicates data sharing mode (anything that begins with a “D”), but the system is not in data sharing mode
  • an automated update of one or more IRRPLEX_ profiles failed

Because other systems are enabled for RACF sysplex communication (members of the XCF IRRXCF00 group), and data sharing mode, the database might be corrupted. When the system completes IPL, it might be in FAILSOFT mode. If so, you must run IRRUT200 in copy and verify mode (specify SYSRACF and SYSUT1 DD) against the primary data sets of the database. If the database is corrupted, refresh it with a database that is not corrupted or contact your IBM® service center. Either do not share the database outside of the systems on this sysplex, which are enabled for RACF sysplex communication, or do not allow data sharing mode.

Specify FAILSOFT if:
  • the profiles are correct, and other sysplexes share the database

System action

The system waits for the operators reply.

Operator response

Respond to the ICH600A message or contact your systems programmer.

System programmer response

If the database is being used by another system (in a different sysplex) that is in data sharing mode, the database might become corrupted. Because the IRRXCF00 group of this system is in data sharing mode, the database might be corrupted.

Specify FAILSOFT to enter FAILSOFT mode. You must run IRRUT200 in copy and verify mode (specify SYSRACF and SYSUT1 DD) against the data sets of the database. If the database is corrupted, refresh it with a database that is not corrupted or contact your IBM service center. Either do not share the database outside of the systems on this sysplex, which are enabled for RACF sysplex communication, or do not allow data sharing mode.

If the identified database is not being used by a system outside of this sysplex, specify CONTINUE. After initialization, use the RDELETE or RALTER command on the IRRPLEX_ profiles, as appropriate. The IRRPLEX_ profile for this sysplex is updated automatically during initialization.

If the message indicates the backup database, and you did not receive this message for the primary database, then if the backup database is intended to be the same as the primary database, and you were able to specify ‘CONTINUE’ to this message, resynchronize the primary and the backup databases using "IRRUT200 PARM=ACTIVATE".
Note: Ensure that the database you are using as the backup database is the correct database to be using with your primary database. The "IRRUT200 PARM=ACTIVATE" overlays all the data within the specified backup data set. See z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide for more information about IRRUT200.
If the problem persists, contact your IBM support center.

Do not use RRSF to propagate the RDEFINE, RALTER, and RDELETE commands to other databases. If automatic command direction is enabled for the GXFACILI class, use the ONLYAT operand (on the RALTER, RDEFINE, and RDELETE commands) when you change IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profiles to prevent this propagation. ONLYAT must be used whether you are altering, creating, or deleting the class GXFACILI IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profiles on a local or remote node.
