CA 1 Health Checker Service (HCK)

The CTSHCK subtask of the Common Tape System provides support for the CA 1 health checks in the case where you do not want to run the CA Common Services CAHCHECK address space. The CA 1 health checks run under the IBM Health Checker for z/OS to do the following tasks:

This subtask is always started when the CTS address space starts. If you are not using the CA Common Services CAHCHECK address space, all available CA 1 health checks will be automatically discovered and started. If the CA Common Services CAHCHECK address space is available, TMSINIT will automatically discover and start the CA 1 health checks in the CAHCHECK address space.
