Making persistent changes to checks

You can make changes to checks that persist across check refreshes and restart of IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® using statements in the HZSPRMxx parmlib member. The HZSPRMxx parmlib member should include only the following kinds of changes:

Defining policies by specifying policy statements in your HZSPRMxx parmlib member or members, specifying the parmlib member is in the list of parmlib members being used at the start IBM Health Checker for z/OS, and activating the policy. See Creating and maintaining IBM Health Checker for z/OS policies.
Defining local installation-written check defaults to the system and adding them to IBM Health Checker for z/OS using the ADD | ADDREPLACE CHECK statement in an HZSPRMxx parmlib member. See Syntax and parameters for HZSPRMxx and MODIFY hzsproc.
Turning log stream support for IBM Health Checker for z/OS on or off using the LOGGER parameter in an HXSPRMxx parmlib member. See LOGGER.
Defining the name of the HZSPDATA persistent data set using the HZSPDATA parameter in an HZSPRMxx parmlib member. See HZSPDATA.

Note that you can share HZSPRMxx parmlib members across different systems in a sysplex, even if those systems are at different levels, and even if a system at a lower level does not support the most current HZSPRMxx parameters you specify. See Sharing critical IBM Health Checker for z/OS information between systems at different levels.
