Create HZSPRMxx parmlib members

You do not have to set up an HZSPRMxx parmlib member to get IBM® Health Checker up and running. And at first, you might want to run IBM Health Checker for z/OS without modifying the HZSPRMxx member to see what check output you get on your installation. Later, as you evaluate your check output, you can use it to make permanent updates in policy statements.

The HZSPRMxx parmlib member lets you make permanent updates in policy statements to check values and parameters or to keep a check from running (deactivating the check). Your HZSPRMxx parmlib member should include only:

Policy statements, to make changes that are applied to checks that are added or refreshed.
The LOGGER parameter, if you want to use a log stream:
```
LOGGER(ON) LOGSTREAMNAME(logstreamname)
```
An HZSPDATA parameter identifying the HZSPDATA data set used to save data required as part of their processing between restarts of the system or IBM Health Checker for z/OS.

Including other non-policy statements in your HZSPRMxx member is ineffective, because the system processes the parmlib member specified in the hzsproc procedure or IEASYSxx parmlib member before any checks are added or begin running.

You can use sample parmlib member HZSPRM00 to create your own HZSPRMxx parmlib member. To create the policy statements for your HZSPRMxx parmlib member, you can also use input from:

The Parameters accepted portion of each check description in IBM Health Checker for z/OS checks.
Making persistent changes to checks

Then, specify the HZSPRMxx parmlib member or members you want the system to use on the HZS parameter of IEASYSxx, as described in Tell the system which HZSPRMxx members you want to use.
