OPSMVS_ALLOC_SYSCHK1

This health check checks to see if the SYSCHK1 data set has been allocated. This data set maintains high-impact system components, such as global variables and RDF tables. Critical system automation will be compromised if these resources are not available. If the SYSCHK1 data set is not allocated, a medium severity health check exception is reported and CA OPS/MVS continues. This condition is checked once.

Best Practice

Make sure you allocate a SYSCHCK1 data set.

CA OPS/MVS can run at a significantly reduced level without a SYSCHK1 data set, but functionality is severely impaired.

Parameters Accepted

No

Debug Support

No

Verbose Support

No

Reference

For information on allocating an SYSCHK1 data set, see the DEFDIV utility and the OPSSPA00 OPS/REXX program. This is further documented in the section Define OPSLOG and Checkpoint VSAM Linear Data Sets in the Installation Guide.
