ZOSMIGV1R10_RMM_VRS

Description:

This check ensures that an installation has no VRSes which conflict with the new 'DELETED' VRS support. If your installation has VRSes with either DSNAME('DELETED') or JOBNAME(DELETED) you should be aware of the conflict with new 'DELETED' VRS support when migrating from a release below z/OS® V1R10.

The check should be run once for each DFSMSrmm CDS. 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), issues the RMM SEARCHVRS subcommand and so needs READ access to STGADMIN.EDG.VRS in the FACILITY class.

Reason for check:

This check identifies 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_VRS_DELETED)
 INTERVAL(ONETIME)
 SEVERITY(MED)
 DATE('date_of_the_change')
 INACTIVE
 REASON('Your reason for making the update.')

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.
