JES2_UPGRADE_CKPT_LEVEL_JES2

Description:
This check determines if the system is ready to upgrade the JES2 checkpoint to z22 mode. If the necessary preconditions are already satisfied on the customer’s system, then a message is given recommending that the system be upgraded to z22 mode. In the case where prerequisite conditions have not been satisfied, an exception message is given indicating that the system is not ready to upgrade to checkpoint level z22.
Reason for check:
IBM® suggests that installations use JES2 z22 mode because it upgrades the JES2 checkpoint and enables the following functions: Start of change
  • Job execution controls via the JOBGROUP JCL statement.
  • A new method to reconfigure where the JES2 checkpoint data sets reside.
  • The ability to resize a JES2 checkpoint data set (within the limits of the device the data set resides on).
  • Increased limits for JQEs, JOEs and BERTs. New limits are as follows:
    • JQEs = 1,000,000
    • JOEs = 2,500,000
    • BERTs = 2,500,000
    These new limits allow for more jobs and pieces of output to be handled by the Job Entry Subsystem.
End of change
z/OS® releases the check applies to:
z/OS V2R2 and later.

No
User override of IBM values:
Start of changeThe 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
