COF540E DLF SHOULD BE STOPPED - ERROR THRESHOLD EXCEEDED.
Explanation
Data lookaside facility (DLF) processing should be stopped because the DLF error threshold for the number of errors related to the connection or disconnection of a single DLF object has been exceeded. There is a possibility of damage to the DLF data structures, so DLF should be stopped and restarted when possible. This message only indicates that there is presumed damage, not that there is any certainty of actual damage to data structures.
System action
DLF continues to operate. This action message will remain until DLF is stopped or the operator deletes it from the console. The system writes a logrec data set error record. The system may write an SVC dump.
Operator response
At the earliest opportunity, the workload using shared data objects should be drained by whatever means is appropriate to your installation. Select a DLF stop option (DRAIN or QUIESCE) with a MODIFY DLF,MODE=DRAIN|QUIESCE command and then enter the STOP command to stop DLF.
Contact the system programmer.
System programmer response
Examine the logrec data set for information about failures which have occurred in DLF functions. Examine the SVC dump, if available. See Formatting DLF dump data in z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Reference for information about DLF traces and IPCS reports that may be helpful for diagnosing this problem.
