This system attempted to initialize a couple data set for the specified type and determined that the data set might be in use by another sysplex. Message IXC248E, which precedes this message, indicates the name of the data set that is possibly in use by another sysplex.
Initialization of the couple data set stops until the operator replies to message IXC247D.
Allowing initialization to continue on a couple data set that is in use by another sysplex causes the other sysplex to lose access to the data set, which might cause the system(s) in that sysplex to enter a wait state.
If initialization is stopped, either the data set will not be brought on as an alternate couple data set or the type will not be started.
If an incorrect reply is entered, the system issues message IXC208I to notify the operator of the error. The system then reissues message IXC247D.
Notify the system programmer.
This message occurs because the couple data set is or was being used by another sysplex, or the couple data set was previously used by this sysplex but there is no longer a record of its use.
