ICSF_DEPRECATED_SERV_WARNINGS

Description:

Detects the use of services which will not be supported in subsequent releases of ICSF. This check is active when ICSF is started and it must be activated to perform the check. Once activated, the check will be performed on a daily basis.

Reason for check:

Subsequent releases of ICSF will not support the use of certain callable services. This check provides a way to detect if any applications are currently using these services.

The deprecated services checked in ICSF FMID HCR77A0 (z/OS® V2R1) are listed below. These are not supported after System z 900 hardware. Start of change

CSFEDC
CSFEMK
CSFGKC
CSFRTC

z/OS releases the check applies to:

ICSF FMID HCR77A0 or later running on z/OS V1R12, z/OS V1R13 or z/OS V2R1

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
