z/OS Health Checker Considerations

The Health Checker MVS component allows monitoring of certain active settings for the System Console (CI) and to issue exception notification messages if they deviate from predefined best practices settings.

Together with many other checks of the system environment the z/OS Health Checker can help to recognize potential system problems or even to prevent system outages.

If you have z/OS® system images controlled remotely with the SA z/OS hardware interfaces and you have their System Consoles (CI) running in PD mode, you have to decide if this is really considered to be an exception in case the IBMCNZ Syscons checking is active. For more information about Health Checking refer to IBM Health Checker for z/OS: User's Guide.
