IXCH0531E
The Sysplex Failure Management (SFM) policy specification for the time a connector response to a coupling facility (CF) structure-related event is allowed to remain overdue is not consistent with the checkowner_or_installation recommendation.

Explanation

CHECK(IBMXCF,XCF_SFM_CFSTRHANGTIME) found an exception.

The SFM policy specifies policyspec. The checkowner_or_installation specification requires requiredspec.

In the message explanation:
policyspec
The CFSTRHANGTIME specification from the SFM policy.
requiredspec
The CFSTRHANGTIME specification required by the check owner or the installation.

IBM® recommends that the SFM policy specify CFSTRHANGTIME to limit the time a required connector response is allowed to remain overdue. Failure to provide a required response to a structure-related event is likely to cause sympathy sickness and affect overall sysplex performance.
