Tell the system which HZSPRMxx members you want to use
Once you have created one or more HZSPRMxx members, IBM® recommends that you define them for use by IBM Health Checker for z/OS® when it starts automatically at IPL time by doing the following:
- Specify the desired HZSPRMxx suffixes on the HZS system parameter
in the IEASYSxx parmlib member as follows:
HZS={xx|(xx,...,zz)}
- In your hzsproc procedure, default to or define HZSPRM=PREV to
specify that IBM Health Checker
for z/OS use the same HZSPRMxx
parmlib members as it did for the previous instance of IBM Health Checker for z/OS:
//HZSPROC PROC HZSPRM='PREV' //HZSSTEP EXEC PGM=HZSINIT,REGION=0K,TIME=NOLIMIT, // PARM='SET PARMLIB=&HZSPRM' //*HZSPDATA DD DSN=SYS1.&SYSNAME..HZSPDATA,DISP=OLD // PEND // EXEC HZSPROC
IBM recommends specifying 'HZSPRM=PREV' to make occasional manual restarts (after applying service, for example) easy and consistent.
- HZSPRM='PREV'
- Specifies that your hzsproc procedure use the
HZSPRMxx suffixes, if any, used by the previous instance of IBM Health Checker for z/OS within the current IPL. HZSPRM='PREV' is
used as the default in the standard HZSPROC procedure.
HZSPRM='PREV'behaves like HZPRM='SYSPARM'when the system encounters it at initial IPL time (the first use of the hzsproc), because there is no previous instance of IBM Health Checker for z/OS to use at that time.
- HZSPRM='SYSPARM'
- Specifies that your hzsproc procedure use the HZSPRMxx suffixes specified on the HZS system parameter in IEASYSxx.
- HZSPRM='NONE'
- Specifies that the hzsproc use no HZSPRMxx parmlib members
- HZSPRM={'xx|(xx,...,zz)'}
- Specify the specific suffixes for the HZSPRMxx parmlib member or members that you wish the hzsproc procedure to use.
If you should happen to leave a manual START HZSPROC,HZSPRM= command (in COMMNDxx, for example), the HZSPRMxx parmlib members activated by the IBM Health Checker for z/OS automatic startup will still win out. Any subsequent manual START HZSPROC is ignored and rejected, as long as the current Health Instance has not been stopped.
