Parameter Overrides for CA TLMS Health Checks

The IBM Health Checker for z/OS lets you override selected default parameters. To override parameters, you specify the desired defaults on the POLICY statement in the HZSPRMxx member of parmlib. This is useful for changing values such as INTERVAL to a value more appropriate for your installation. For a complete list of parameters that can be overridden see “Managing Checks” in IBM Health Checker for z/OS User Guide.

You can write individual checks to support parameter overrides using the PARM( ) parameter on the POLICY statement. You can also use the MODIFY command to override the parameters and pass the desired parameters to the IBM Health Checker for z/OS started task.

F hzsproc,UPDATE,CHECK(check_owner,check_name),PARM='chkparm'

An example of an override follows:

F HZS,UPDATE,CHECK(CA_TLMS,TLMS_AUX_CUSHION_WARNING),

		PARM=' CUSHIONTHRESH(60)'

If a CA TLMS check supports the override of a parameter, it is documented in the Parameters Accepted section in each check that follows. The default interval and the exception interval are provided in the Description section for each CA TLMS check.
