Error description

  • mmhealth does not work on AIX
    

Local fix

  • 1. touch mmsysmon.json
    2. mmccr fput mmsysmon.json mmsysmon.json
    3. mmdsh -N all mmsysmoncontrol restart
    After this workaround Sysmonitor will be able to startup,
    but some of its features (e.g. hiding events) will stay broken.
