IEA259I   CLOCKxx: ENVIRONMENT NOT VALID FOR SIMETRID

Explanation

The SIMETRID parameter was incorrectly specified in a CLOCKxx parmlib member. The SIMETRID parameter is only valid when the system is running as a virtual machine (VM) or processor resource/systems manager (PR/SM™) guest. In the message text:
CLOCKxx
The parmlib member, with the suffix xx.

System action

The system ignores all CLOCKxx parmlib members. The system issues message IEA906A.

Operator response

Reply to message IEA906A. If you press the enter button in reply to message IEA906A, the system sets the following default values:
  • No operator prompting for time-of-day (TOD) clock initialization.
  • External Time Reference (ETR) synchronization mode. ETR is the MVS™ generic name for the IBM® Sysplex Timer (9037) or equivalent.
  • ETRDELTA value of 10 seconds.
  • Time zone constant obtained from ETR (or set to 0 if time zone cannot be obtained from ETR).

System programmer response

Specify the correct synchronization mode (ETRMODE) in the CLOCKxx parmlib member.

If you specify ETRMODE NO, you cannot specify ETRZONE YES.
