IEA_LXS

Description:

This check reports on available system and non-system LXs and extended LXs (ELXs)

Reason for check:

LXs are a finite resource. It is important to know how many remain available. Running the system in exception has no consequence. The exception is intended to alert to the possibilities.

z/OS® releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1R9 and later.

Type of check (local or remote):

Local

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

Debug support:

Verbose support:

Yes. When VERBOSE mode is in effect, information about each individual LX is provided

Parameters accepted:

LX(n) specifies an integer 0-SvtxLXNSysDefined, or a percent 1-100 (which is applied to the value of SvtxLXNSysDefined, the number of defined non-system LXs). If the number of non-system LXs falls below the limit, an exception message is issued. The default is 15%.
ELX(n) specifies an integer 0-SvtxBLXNSysDefined, or a percent 1-100 (which is applied to the value of SvtxBLXNSysDefined, the number of defined non-system extended LXs). If the number of non-system extended LXs falls below the limit, an exception message is issued. The default is 15%.
SYSLX(n) specifies an integer 0-SvtxLXSysDefined, or a percent 1-100 (which is applied to the value of SvtxLXSysDefined, the number of defined system LXs). If the number of system LXs falls below the limit, an exception message is issued. The default is 15%.
SYSELX(n) specifies an integer 0-SvtxBLXSysDefined, or a percent 1-100 (which is applied to the value of SvtxBLXSysDefined, the number of defined system extended LXs). If the number of system extended LXs falls below the limit, an exception message is issued. The default is 15%.
