IXC247D
REPLY U to ACCEPT USE OR D TO DENY USE OF THE COUPLE DATA SET FOR typename.

Explanation

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.

In the message text:
typename
The type of data contained in the couple data set.

System action

Initialization of the couple data set stops until the operator replies to message IXC247D.

Operator response

Choose one of the following replies:
U
To continue initialization of the couple data set.

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.

D
To stop initialization of the couple data set.

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.

System programmer response

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.
