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.
