Health Check Parameter Overrides

The IBM Health Checker for z/OS allows the override of selected default parameters by specifying desired defaults on the POLICY statement in the HZSPRMxx member of parmlib. This is useful in changing such values as INTERVAL to a value more appropriate for your installation.

For a complete list of parameters that can be overridden see the chapter “Managing Checks” in IBM Health Checker for z/OS User's Guide.

Individual checks can also be written to support parameter overrides using the PARM( ) parameter on the POLICY statement. These parameters can also be overridden by using the MODIFY command to pass the desired parameters to the IBM Health Checker for z/OS started task.

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

Example: parameter override

F HZS,UPDATE,CHECK(CA_TE, TE_CHECK_BES_KEYS_AVAIL@BESn), PARM=' THRESHOLD(90)'
