Checks have a two part state, which can sometimes seem contradictory.
Basically, however, it all boils down to whether a check is eligible
to run or not. If a check is
eligible, it is both active and
enabled, and running at its established interval. An
ineligible check
will not run because it was either:
- Disabled by IBM Health Checker for z/OS because
of errors or environmental problems
- Deactivated by a user
- Both disabled and deactivated
Table 1. Check state combinationsEligibility |
State |
---|
Eligible states |
- ACTIVE(ENABLED) or AE: Check is ready and able
to run.
|
Ineligible states |
- ACTIVE(DISABLED) or AD: Check has been defined to IBM Health Checker for z/OS and was
running, but IBM Health Checker for z/OS found
errors and disabled the check (see IBM Health Checker for z/OS controlled states).
The check will not run.
- INACTIVE(ENABLED) or IE: A user has deactivated
the check (see User controlled states). From IBM Health Checker for z/OS's point
of view, this check is in good standing and can run whenever the user
re-activates it. However, the check will not run.
- INACTIVE(DISABLED) or ID: The system disabled the
check because of system or environment errors and a user deactivated
it (see IBM Health Checker for z/OS controlled states). The check will not
run.
