Description:

Check that all defined transport classes are assigned at least to the indicated number of pathouts (outbound paths). This check is appropriate for both monoplex and sysplex mode configurations.

Reason for check:

It is recommended that all defined transport classes have at least 1 pathout assigned to the class per target system.

z/OS® releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1R4 and later.

Parameters accepted:

Minimum number of operational signalling paths for a transport class. (must be an integer in the range of 1 to 99999)

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
