The IBM Health Checker for z/OS is used to identify potential problems
before they impact availability or cause outages. The Health Checker
outputs messages to notify the user of the problems and suggests actions
to be taken. The messages can be merely informational, or they can
indicate a risk to the operation of the product.
ICSF provides a set of health checks to inform the user of potential
ICSF problems. The checks include both migration checks and status
checks. A migration check is designed to warn of changes in a current
or pending ICSF release that could negatively impact usage. A status
check provides information on the current state of ICSF.
The ICSF Health Checks are:
- ICSF_COPROCESSOR_STATE_NEGCHANGE
- ICSF_DEPRECATED_SERV_WARNINGS
- ICSF_KEY_EXPIRATION
- ICSF_MASTER_KEY_CONSISTENCY
- ICSFMIG_DEPRECATED_SERV_WARNINGS
- ICSFMIG_MASTER_KEY_CONSISTENCY
- ICSFMIG7731_ICSF_RETAINED_RSAKEY
- ICSFMIG77A1_COPROCESSOR_ACTIVE
- ICSFMIG77A1_TKDS_OBJECT
- ICSFMIG77A1_UNSUPPORTED_HW
RACF provides a set of health checks that examine the
status of general resource classes and also the security characteristics
of system-critical data sets. The ICSF-related RACF Health Checks
are:
- RACF_SENSITIVE_RESOURCES, for the ICSF key data sets.
- RACF_CSFSERV_ACTIVE, for the CSFSERV resource class.
