Issue/Introduction

Attempting to move ACF2 IMS SYSPLEX structure to a different CF receives the following message:  

SETXCF START,REBUILD,STRNAME=ACF2_IMS
IXC367I THE SETXCF START REBUILD REQUEST FOR STRUCTURE 720
ACF2_IMS WAS REJECTED:
AT LEAST ONE ACTIVE CONNECTION INDICATED THAT REBUILD IS NOT ALLOWED

Resolution

The IXC367I message states that IXLCONN macro was used that specified ALLOWREBLD=NO and move/rebuild of structure can't be done.

The ACF2 IMS interface does not currently support REBUILD and ALTER. The following steps can be used to REBUILD or ALTER the IMS ACF2 structure: 

1. Issue /ACF SYSPLEX STOP to deactivate the IMS interface SYSPLEX feature
   
   This command needs to be issued within all IMS Regions that utilize the structure defined in the ACF2 IMS SYSPLEX Record.
   
   
2. SETXCF START,REBUILD,STRNAME=strc_name
   
   SETXCF command can then be issued to REBUILD or ALTER the SYSPLEX structure defined in the ACF2 IMS SYSPLEX Record
   
   
3. Issue /ACF SYSPLEX START
   
   As mentioned previously, this command needs to be issued within all IMS Regions that utilize the structure defined within the ACF2 SYSPLEX Record.
