VIEW_OPT_CLFMDS

Description

This health check indicates whether default settings are being used for the CA View CLSL, FORM, and DEST parameters. These parameters control which SYSOUTs are being archived from the JES spool by the started task. If at least one of these parameters is not specified, CA View starts to archive every non-held sysout in the spool, it defaults to all classes or forms or destinations. When all three are not set, CA View archives all classes, all forms, and all destinations.

Best Practice

It is a best practice to review the settings of the CLSL, FORM, and DEST parameters to be sure that CA View archives SYSOUTs according to the needs of your site. Archiving is based on these settings; for a SYSOUT to be archived, it must meet the selection criteria specified by all three of these parameters.
