Member field - AVAIL

This field is always displayed for each registered member, and has a value of YES or NO. YES indicates that the member is available for workload request distribution. NO indicates that the member is not available for workload request distribution. For the member to be available for workload request distribution, the target application must be active (if the member represents an application member) on a TCP/IP stack that has not had eventual action message EZD1973E issued by sysplex problem detection and recovery, an Agent must be active on the target system and connected to the Advisor, and the member must not be quiesced by the z/OS® operator or by the load balancer. Line 9 in Figure 1 shows an example of the AVAIL field set to YES, and line 17 shows an example of the AVAIL field set to NO. For more information on the AVAIL field, see z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's Commands.
