Hi all
We are using PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01.BK and PLEXBDZ3.OMVS02.BK
Below is the couplexx we are using
COUPLE SYSPLEX(&SYSPLEX.)
PCOUPLE(&SYSPLEX..XCF01)
ACOUPLE(&SYSPLEX..XCF02)
DATA TYPE(WLM)
PCOUPLE(&SYSPLEX..WLM01)
ACOUPLE(&SYSPLEX..WLM02)
DATA TYPE(LOGR)
PCOUPLE(&SYSPLEX..LOGR01)
ACOUPLE(&SYSPLEX..LOGR02)
DATA TYPE(BPXMCDS)
PCOUPLE(&SYSPLEX..OMVS01.BK)
ACOUPLE(&SYSPLEX..OMVS02.BK)
We want to replace PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01.BK with PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01
Below is the output of the OMVS CDS definition. The RC is Zero

The definition is the same as PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01.BK
We ran the following JOB
//DEFLOGR EXEC PGM=IXCMIAPU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *

The output is below

________________________________________________________________________________
IXC730I ERROR DETECTED IN LINE 1.
THE VALUE 'BPXMCDS' FOR KEYWORD 'TYPE' IS NOT ONE OF THE ALLOWABLE
VALUES.
IXC735I XCF ADMINISTRATIVE DATA UTILITY ENCOUNTERED AN ERROR: DATA TYPE CONTROL
Our questions:
1. Why don't we get a normal output by running IXCMIAPU utility program with
DATA TYPE(BPXMCDS) REPORT(YES)?
(note: the output is normal by issuing '-D XCF,COUPLE,TYPE=BPXMCDS' command)
2.What else do we need to do ?
Thanks a lot!

Re: Could I issue '-SETXCF COUPLE,ACOUPLE=PLEXBDZ3.OMVS' in a monoplex
configuration
I guess I am little confused. In you display your dataset name is
PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01.BK
But in your SETXCF command your dataset name is PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01 without a
.BK at the end.
Which data set name is correct? And when was the last time you ran an
IXCMIAPU for both the primary and alternate? Did you use the correct input?
Did you restore the alternate from a backup?
Also, if you look up the message it states
DOES NOT CONTAIN record-type RECORDS
XCF cannot use the data set as a couple data set because either of the
following conditions occurs:
* For sysplex couple data sets only, the data set does not contain
all the required record types.
* For incoming alternates only, the data set is missing a record or
subrecord that is present in the primary.
Consider to run IXCMIAPU utility program with DATA TYPE(BPXMCDS) REPORT(YES)
to find out the capacity from current primary CDS. Or you may need to
rebuild the alternate.

Hi all
Our shop is a monoplex configuration.We want to use a new OMVS couple
dataset.
1.We issue '-D XCF,COUPLE,TYPE=BPXMCDS' command.The following messages were
shown:
IXC358I 16.07.47 DISPLAY XCF 850

2. We define a new OMVS couple dataset( PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01) as the existing
OMVS couple dataset.
3. We issue 'SETXCF COUPLE,ACOUPLE=PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01' command.The following
messages were shown
IXC309I SETXCF COUPLE,ACOUPLE REQUEST FOR SYSPLEX WAS ACCEPTED
IXC260I ALTERNATE COUPLE DATA SET REQUEST FROM SYSTEM
BDZ3 FOR SYSPLEX IS NOW BEING PROCESSED.
DATA SET: PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01
IXC255I UNABLE TO USE DATA SET
PLEXBDZ3.OMVS01
AS THE ALTERNATE FOR SYSPLEX: DOES NOT CONTAIN SYSTEM RECORDS
