IBM Health Checker

IBM Health Checker for z/OS provides a central location for IBM and other vendors, such as CA, to scan the z/OS system for potential problems. It reports on its findings and suggests possible actions to take. IBM Health Checker for z/OS runs in a separate started task. This task is made up of many individual checks that can run either local (in the IBM Health Checker for z/OS address space) or remote (in the calling program's address space). The checks for CA Workload Automation SE are local checks.

The CA Workload Automation SE interface to IBM Health Checker for z/OS monitors the availability of the CA Workload Automation SE online and ICOM tasks at a user-specified interval. In addition, for the CA Workload Automation SE online task, it verifies that activity has taken place since the prior check iteration.

A new CAIRIM L2OPTS HEALTHCHECK keyword on the GLOBAL INIT/INITC/UPDATE statement controls this check. For more information about the HEALTHCHECK keyword, see the Systems Programming Guide.

The CAL2ENVR report has been updated to show interfaces with the IBM Health Checker. For more information, see the Systems Programming Guide.
