Extra fields issued to the message buffer for exception messages

For exception messages issued to the message buffer, IBM Health Checker for z/OS issues additional information automatically, including:
  • Owner IBM®comp reason: This field displays the reason for running the check. The reason displayed is specified by the check developer in the HZSADDCHECK exit routine r. For example, for check GRS_MODE, the reason defined in the HZSADDCHECK exit routine is as follows: 
    GRS should run in STAR mode to improve performance
    See Writing an HZSADDCHECK exit routine.
  • Installation reason: This field is displayed if the installation overwrites the HZSADDCHECK exit routine reason with a new reason value.
  • Check Parameters: This field displays the parameters (defined in the HZSADDCHECK exit routine) that are passed to the check routine when it runs.
