Monitor CA Allocate Health Checks

Monitor the health checks generated for CA Allocate.

Business Value:

Health Checks alert you of conditions that could prevent CA Allocate from running properly, if left uncorrected, and they guide you in addressing the problem. These health checks provide best practices for running CA Allocate.

Additional Considerations:

The following health checks are provided for CA Allocate:

ALLOC_VRFY_EOV_X37_SVCS_STATUS

EOV Support automatically prevents SNA failures. If EOV support is disabled, reenable EOV Support to recover data sets from SNA conditions.

ALLOC_VRFY_ACT_ASR_IS_EXPECTED

If you make changes to your ASR, ensure that those changes are executed at the next opportunity. Syntax errors, which are reported to you in the SYSPRT file, are the most common reason for the rejection of an ASR. Discover and resolve the cause of the error so that your new ASR can carry out your new directives.

ALLOC_VRFY_PLSZSEC_EOV_X37_SVCE

EOV support for Zero Secondary gives your ASR the ability to give secondary space to data sets to prevent D37-04 abends. Set PLSZSEC to (Y) to avoid the D37-04 abends.

ALLOC_VRFY_PLSOPT10_SNA_X37_SVCE

The ALLOC and DEFINE Environments are where your ASR detects and prevents potential SNA failures. Set PLSOPT10 to (Y) to give your ASR the ability to detect and correct any potential SNA failures for new DFSMS-managed data sets.

ALLOC_VRFY_PLSOPT94_USE_STUB

This Health Check advises you if CA Allocate is not running with PLSOPT94 to (N), use the STUB methodology. Operating System Interfaces at IFG0EX0B, IGGPRE00, IGGDAC02, IGGPOST0, and SVC26 are not removed during a shutdown outside of an IPL. You eliminate compatibility problems with other OEMs who can also intercept at these locations.
