CNZ_Syscons_Mscope

Description:

Ensures that the system console has a single-system message scope.

Reason for check:

The system console should only receive messages from the local system to avoid having to process large numbers of messages.

z/OS® releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1R4 and later.

User override of IBM values:

The following sample shows the defaults for customizable values for this check. Use this sample to make permanent check customizations in an HZSPRMxx parmlib member used at IBM Health Checker for z/OS startup. If you just want a one-time only update to the check defaults, omit the first line (ADDREPLACE POLICY) and use the UPDATE statement on a MODIFY hzsproc command. Note that using non-POLICY UPDATEs in HZSPRMxx can lead to unexpected results and is therefore not recommended. End of change
