CAHCHECK Address Space

CAHCHECK is a CA Common Services address space that hosts health checks on behalf of CA products and components.

Many CA product health checks are hosted directly by the owning CA product address space. Some CA products do not have a permanent address space in which to host the health checks. Some CA products that have a permanent address space want some or all of the health checks to be hosted in a more permanent address space. The CAHCHECK address space was created to host CA product health checks that have these requirements.

CA product health checks provide the following value for your site:

Improve product availability by eliminating outages due to configuration option errors
Point out product features that are activated to get maximum benefit from a product
Point out settings that can optimize the performance of a product. This is similar to having a product expert constantly reviewing the product settings in your environment.

The CAHCHECK address space is optional, but we strongly recommend that you use it to receive the full benefit of CA product health checks.

Note: The CAHCHECK address space requires the CAMASTER common service system address space.
