ICH586A
IF ANY SYSTEM IS USING THE DATABASE WITH MASTER DATA SET DSNAME ON VOLUME VOLSER IN DATA SHARING MODE, AND ANY OTHER SYSTEM CONCURRENTLY USES IT IN NON-DATA SHARING MODE, DATABASE CORRUPTION WILL RESULT. PROFILE PROFILE-NAME IN CLASS CLASS INDICATES THAT THIS DATABASE WAS LAST USED IN DATA SHARING MODE, BUT IT IS NOW TO BE USED IN NON-DATA SHARING MODE. IF THE DATABASE IS NOT BEING USED BY ANOTHER SYSTEM IN DATA SHARING MODE, SPECIFY 'CONTINUE'. OTHERWISE SPECIFY 'FAILSOFT' AND THE SYSTEM WILL ENTER FAILSOFT MODE.

Explanation

The APPLDATA field of one or more IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profiles indicates data sharing mode. Either the data set name table (ICHRDSNT) for this system specifies non-data sharing mode, or if the system is enabled for RACF® sysplex communication, and this is not the first system to join the XCF group IRRXCF00, the current mode is communicated by the group data set name table. The data sharing mode indicators within the IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profiles are incompatible with the non-data sharing mode requested for the initialization of this environment.

The ICH600A WTOR is issued after this message to obtain a response.

Specify CONTINUE if:
  • the named profile is for this sysplex, and the named database is to be used in non-data sharing mode
  • you copied the database from an environment that shared the database with another sysplex in data sharing mode, but which is no longer true for this environment
  • the sysplex was renamed, and is no longer in data sharing mode
  • one or more IRRPLEX_ profiles were manually altered or created incorrectly
    • the profile name indicates a sysplex that is not sharing the database
    • the APPLDATA field indicates data sharing mode (anything that begins with a “D”), but the system is not in data sharing mode
  • an automated update of one or more IRRPLEX_ profiles failed
Specify FAILSOFT if:
  • the named profile is for this sysplex, the database is being used by this sysplex in data sharing mode, the system is not enabled for RACF sysplex communication, and you intended to IPL into data sharing mode. Update the data set name table (ICHRDSNT) to request RACF sysplex communication and data sharing mode, and then reIPL the system.
  • the profiles are correct, the database is being used by this sysplex, or another sysplex, in data sharing mode, and you must not use the database. Update the data set name table (ICHRDSNT) to request a different database, and then reIPL the system.

System action

The system waits for the operators reply.

Operator response

Respond to the ICH600A message or contact your systems programmer.

System programmer response

If the identified database is being used in data sharing mode by another system, the database becomes corrupted in the following situations:
  • The other system is in another sysplex.
  • The other system is in this sysplex, but this system is not enabled for RACF sysplex communication (forcing the other system to use the databases and mode of the IRRXCF00 RACF sysplex communication group).
You must specify FAILSOFT to protect the database.
Note:
  1. If the other system is in another sysplex, either change the data set name table (ICHRDSNT) to use a different database, and then reIPL the system, or issue an RVARY NODATASHARE command from the other sysplex.
  2. If the other system is in this sysplex, but is not being used in data sharing mode, change the data set name table (ICHRDSNT) to request RACF sysplex communication or data sharing mode, or both, and then reIPL the system. This causes the IRRXCF00 group to be joined and the RACF sysplex communication group data set name table, which must be in the correct mode, to be used.

If the identified database is not being used in data sharing mode, specify CONTINUE. After initialization uses the RDELETE or RALTER command on the IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profiles as appropriate. The IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profile for this sysplex is updated automatically during initialization.

If the message indicates the backup database, and you did not receive this message for the primary database, then if the backup database is intended to be the same as the primary database, and you were able to specify ‘CONTINUE’ to this message, resynchronize the primary and the backup databases using "IRRUT200 PARM=ACTIVATE".
Note: Ensure that the database you are using as the backup database is the correct database to be using with your primary database. The "IRRUT200 PARM=ACTIVATE" overlays all the data within the specified backup data set. See z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide for more information about IRRUT200.
If the problem persists, contact your IBM® support center.

Do not use RRSF to propagate the RDEFINE, RALTER, and RDELETE commands to other databases. If automatic command direction is enabled for the GXFACILI class, use the ONLYAT operand (on the RALTER, RDEFINE, and RDELETE commands) when you change IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profiles to prevent this propagation. ONLYAT must be used whether you are altering, creating, or deleting the class GXFACILI IRRPLEX_sysplex-name profiles on a local or remote node.
