Explanation
The system has detected a problem with the primary
couple data set. Initialization using the primary couple data set
can not continue. XCF was unable to determine automatically that
the alternate couple data set can be used to recover the primary couple
data set. The name of the primary couple data set with the error
was printed in message IXC249I.
In the message text:
- altdsname
- The name of the alternate couple data set.
- altvolser
- The DASD volume where the alternate data set resides.
- typename
- The type of data contained in the data set.
System action
Couple data set initialization and possibly system
initialization processing stops until the operator replies to this
message.
Operator response
Choose one of the following replies:
- R
- To allow XCF to attempt to repair the primary couple data set
from the information contained on the alternate couple data set.
This action should only be selected if it is known that the alternate
listed in this message and the primary listed in message IXC249I are
the last ones used by the sysplex and have not been reformatted or
restored since they were last used.
- S
- To stop XCF from repairing the primary couple data set. This response
will prevent XCF from completing the couple data set initialization.
If an incorrect reply is entered, the system issues
message IXC208I to notify the operator of the error. The system then
reissues message IXC279D.
System programmer response
The reason for XCF having to take
this repair action should be determined and action taken to correct
the cause. See the system programmer response for message IXC249I.
