Checks have a two part state, which can sometimes seem contradictory. Basically, however, it all
boils down to whether a check is eligible to run or not. If a check is
eligible, it is both
active and enabled, and running at its established interval. An
ineligible check will not run
because it was either:
- Disabled by IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® because of errors or
environmental problems
- Deactivated by a user
- Both disabled and deactivated
Table 1. Check state combinations
| Eligibility |
State |
| Eligible states |
- ACTIVE(ENABLED) or AE: Check is ready and able to run.
|
| Ineligible states |
- ACTIVE(DISABLED) or AD: Check has been defined to IBM Health Checker for z/OS and was running, but IBM Health Checker for z/OS found errors and disabled the check (see IBM Health Checker for z/OS controlled states). The check will not run.
- INACTIVE(ENABLED) or IE: A user has deactivated the check (see User controlled states). From IBM Health Checker for z/OS's point of view, this check is in good
standing and can run whenever the user re-activates it. However, the check will not run.
- INACTIVE(DISABLED) or ID: The system disabled the check because of system or
environment errors and a user deactivated it (see IBM Health Checker for z/OS controlled states). The check will
not run.
