ZOSMIGV1R10_RMM_VOL_REPLACE

Description:

Use this check to determine whether the hard coded volume replacement limit, LIMIT=1, value has changed and to show how to set the same limit at z/OS® V1R10 and later releases using MEDINF NAME(IBM®) REPLACE(PERM(value)).

This check uses the AMASPZAP tool to verify contents of a load module in LINKLIB. The RACF® userid used for the System REXX check, (REXX checks run under the security assigned to the IBM Health Checker for z/OS procedure, hzsproc), needs READ access to the LINKLIB library, and if AMASPZAP is under program control, the userid also needs READ access to AMASPZAP.

Reason for check:

The check is intended to identify when a migration action is needed when migrating from a release below z/OS V1R10.

z/OS releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1.8 and z/OS V1.9

Type of check (local, remote, or REXX):

REXX

User override of IBM values:

The following shows the default keywords for the check, which you can override on either a POLICY statement in the HZSPRMxx parmlib member or on a MODIFY command. This statement may be copied and modified to override the check defaults:

UPDATE
 CHECK(IBMRMM,ZOSMIGV1R10_RMM_VOL_REPLACE_LIM)
 INTERVAL(ONETIME)
 SEVERITY(MED)
 DATE('date_of_the_change')
 INACTIVE
 REASON('Your reason for making the update.')
 PARM('LINKLIB(SYS1.LINKLIB)')

Debug support:

Yes, additional information is written to REXXOUT data set.

Verbose support:

Yes, when also used with DEBUG, additional information is written to REXXOUT data set.

Parameters accepted:

Optional PARM('LINKLIB(linklib_dsname)') is supported. linklib_dsname is a fully qualified data set name, specified without quotes, where load modules targeted to the LINKLIB DDDEF name reside. The load module EDGMUPD must be in this data set.

When no PARM value is provided, the check uses SYS1.LINKLIB.
