EC840 SMF INITIALIZATION FAILED, REASON CODE = nn

Explanation
An internal processing error occurred during collector initialization. This message can also occur if the operator used the CANCEL command instead of the STOP command to terminate the collector, which can corrupt the write-to-SMF interface. 

System action
Collector initialization fails. 

User response
Contact IBM Software Support and report the reason code. If the EPILOG collector was terminated with the CANCEL command instead of the STOP command, you must re-IPL the system.
