EC873 EPILOGC UNABLE TO CONTINUE - NOTHING TO WRITE TO

Explanation

The EPILOG collector could not continue collection because no EDS was available, and SMF recording was prohibited by KEPOPTN.

System action

The collector terminates.

User response

This message usually indicates that the collector was unable to switch to the next EDS because no EDS was available and was also unable to switch to SMF-only recording because NOSMFDATA was specified in KEPOPTN. In this case, follow these steps:
  1. Make available at least the EDS to which collection is to be resumed (see message EC826).
  2. Change KEPOPTN to specify either SMFDATA or SPILLSMFDATA (this prevents the collector from terminating when no EDS is available).
  3. Restart the collector.
This message may also be issued during collector initialization if NOEDSDATA was specified in KEPOPTN together with either NOSMFDATA or SPILLSMFDATA. In this case, follow these steps:
  1. Change KEPOPTN to specify either EDSDATA or SMFDATA, or both (note that when EDSDATA is specified, EDSLIST should also be specified).
  2. Restart the collector.
