DFS3894I THE HOTID FOR THE XRF PRIMARY AND THE ALTERNATE CANNOT BE EQUAL

Explanation

This message is issued only by an IMS alternate system during the synchronization phase of an XRF complex. The HSBID parameter of the alternate system is compared to the HSBID parameter of the primary system. (The HSBID parameter is referred to in the message text as the HOTID parameter.) These IDs must be different. The HSBID for the alternate system is obtained from the initialization JCL; the HSBID for the primary system is obtained from the checkpoint SNAPQ currently being read.

System action

This message precedes a 3141 abend.

Programmer response

There are three possible causes and solutions for this problem.
  • The primary system JCL has been submitted on the alternate central processor complex (CPC). Submit the correct job.
  • The primary/alternate HSBIDs have been changed. Correct the HSBID parameters.
  • The active system has not taken a checkpoint since a takeover occurred. Enter a /CHE SNAPQ command on the active system.
