Issue/Introduction

Scheduler provides an interface with IBM Health Checker for z/OS to scan the system for potential problems with Scheduler.  This Knowledge Document describes the Scheduler setup requirements for Health Checker.

 

 

Environment

Release 11.0

Resolution

Scheduler provides two health check routines to the IBM Health Checker for z/OS. The first routine verifies that the Scheduler started task is active for all defined Scheduler subsystems. The second routine verifies that each Scheduler started task is receiving events from CAIENF.

To activate the Scheduler Health Checker interface, add the following CAS9 HEALTH statement to the Scheduler CAIRIM initialization options:

 
 CAS9 HEALTH  TASKS=nn, 
              EVENTS=nn  

Tasks=nn This value tells Health Checker how often to check that all Scheduler started tasks are active. Valid value is 1 to 60 minute interval.
Value of zero defines the IBM Health Checker for z/OS check but makes it inactive.
EVENTS=nn This value tells Health Checker how often to check that all active copies of Scheduler are receiving CAIENF events. Valid value is 1 to 60 minute interval. Value of zero defines the IBM Health Checker for z/OS check but makes it inactive.

• The CAS9 HEALTH statement must be defined on the Scheduler with subsystem name SCHD (SUBSYS=SCHD).
• The Scheduler load library must be in the link list.
