IST2163I
REBUILD FOR STRUCTURE structure STOPPED

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when it is stopping the rebuild of the coupling facility structure for any of the following reasons:
  • Lost connection to new structure
  • Lost connection to original structure
  • Structure failure
This message is the first of a group of messages. A description of the message group follows.
 IST2163I REBUILD FOR STRUCTURE structure STOPPED
[IST2164I FAILURE REASON - LOST CONNECTION TO NEW STRUCTURE]
[IST2165I FAILURE REASON - LOST CONNECTION TO ORIGINAL STRUCTURE]
[IST2166I FAILURE REASON - STRUCTURE FAILURE]
 IST314I END
IST2163I
  • In the message text:
    structure
    The name of the coupling facility structure.
IST2164I
  • The rebuild failed because VTAM lost connectivity to the new structure.
IST2165I
  • The rebuild failed because VTAM lost connectivity to the original structure.
IST2166I
  • The rebuild failed because VTAM received a Structure Failure Event in the Coupling Facility Event Exit. The coupling facility detected a problem.

System action

IST2164I
VTAM continues to use the original structure. Processing continues.
IST2165I
As long as one VTAM in the group is connected to the original structure, rebuild continues from the connected VTAM. Processing continues on the new structure for the VTAM that lost connectivity to the original structure.
IST2166I
The structure rebuild stops. VTAM might continue with a local repopulation of the new structure or continue processing on the original structure depending on which structure failed.

Operator response

IST2164I
Save the system log for problem determination. Use the VARY CFS command to connect VTAM to the new structure when the problem is corrected. See the VARY CFS command in z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for a description of the VARY CFS command. If you cannot resolve the problem, contact the system programmer.
IST2165I
Save the system log for problem determination. If you cannot resolve the problem, contact the system programmer.
IST2166I
Save the system log for problem determination. Make sure that all VTAMs in the sysplex have connectivity to the coupling facility. You can try a rebuild again by issuing the SETXCF START, REBUILD command. See the SETXCF command in z/OS MVS System Commands for a description of the SETXCF command.

System programmer response

Review the system log for problem determination.
