Removing a Health Checker Rule

Issue/Introduction

OPS/MVS introduced a new Health Check Rule.   Is it possible to disable or remove it? 

Resolution

Health check rules may be deactivated and deleted using the MODIFY hzsproc command on the console.  Alternatively these commands can be issued using the SYSVIEW product. 

For information on the IBM MODIFY command:  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=command-cheat-sheet-examples-modify-hzsproc-commands  

 

If SYSVIEW is running on that system, issue the HCHECKER command and then you will be able to issue the DEA line command to deactivate a rule. From the SYSVIEW help screen, the following additional line commands are available:
