EC943 ACTIVE EDS WAS SELECTED OUT-OF-ORDER

Explanation

The EPILOG collector attempted to switch to the next EDS but it was not available. It switched instead to a subsequent available EDS in the queue.

System action

The collector bypasses automatic EDS maintenance and continues.

User response

Although the collector switched to the first available EDS that it found to avoid interrupting data collection, the normal sequence of automatic EDS selection has been disrupted. In this situation, the collector bypasses automatic EDS maintenance (does not start the user-specified maintenance PROC) to avoid prematurely destroying or archiving previously-collected data. The corrective action required depends on the status of the collector's EDS queue, which may be displayed by issuing an operator MODIFY command. Usually, manual intervention is required to make at least one unavailable EDS available for collection and to initiate EDS maintenance. You may also need to stop the collector or to temporarily switch to SMF-only recording in order to reorganize the EDS queue and re-establish the proper sequence of automatic EDS selection. This is a particularly important consideration if you have specified monthly, daily or weekly EDS switching.
