ZOSMIGV1R11_RMM_VRSEL

Description:

This check is used to determine if an installation is still using OPTION VRSEL(OLD) despite migration actions in earlier z/OS® releases.

DFSMSrmm must be active for this check to be run. The check should be run once for each system to enable each of the parmlib settings to be verified.

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 LISTCONTROL subcommand and so needs one of the following:

CONTROL access to STGADMIN.EDG.LISTCONTROL in the FACILITY class
CONTROL access to STGADMIN.EDG.MASTER in the FACILITY class

Reason for check:

The check is intended to identify when a migration action is needed when migrating from a release below z/OS V1R11.

z/OS releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1.9 and z/OS V1.10

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,ZOSMIGV1R11_RMM_VRSEL_OLD)
 INTERVAL(ONETIME)
 SEVERITY(MED)
 DATE('date_of_the_change')
 INACTIVE
 REASON('Your reason for making the update.')’)

Debug support:
