How IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® builds policies from policy statements

Because a policy is really just a collection of policy statements, there is a lot of flexibility in the way you can define your policy or policies. For example, you can:

• Define one policy in multiple HZSPRMxx parmlib members
• Define multiple policies in one HZSPRMxx parmlib member
• Use a combination of both approaches

The system applies policy statements from the active policy to checks in exactly the order they occur in the HZSPRMxx members, and in the order in which you specify the HZSPRMxx members you want the system to use. We'll cover this in the following sections:

• Some finer points of how policy values are applied
