sid: RECORDS WITH VERSION NUMBER nn WERE FOUND IN THE INPUT DATA SET. THE EXPECTED VERSION NUMBER IS mm.

Explanation

The Postprocessor found system management facility (SMF) records with an unexpected version number.

If nn is a valid version number, the SMF records were written by a gatherer that is at a higher release or service level than the Postprocessor.

If version number nn is obviously wrong, however, the cause of the problem may be that SMF records have been truncated by being copied to a non-VBS data set.

System action

The Postprocessor ignores records with an inappropriate version number and continues reading records. Records with the appropriate version number are processed. If no appropriate records are found, the Postprocessor ends with return code 4.

System programmer response

To ensure that the Postprocessor can handle the version of the SMF records to be processed, either run the Postprocessor on the same system as the gatherer, or install the newest level of RMF™ on the system on which you run the Postprocessor.

To avoid an obviously wrong value in nn, ensure that SMF records are always copied to a data set with record format VBS (variable blocked spanned.)
