Issue/Introduction

Steps to Activate CA 1  PTF RO61639  Health Checks Dynamically (without doing an IPL).

Environment

- Supported z/OS Level- CA Common Services r14.1- CA 1 Tape Management r12.6

Cause

If the CA 1 Healthchecks are active over a long period of time (many weeks), S906-08 abends may be encountered. This occurs after 32767 program loads for TMSSVC.                                    

Resolution

After the PTF has been applied and an LLA refresh has been done to make sure the new modules are in the linklist, do the following:

 

1. Display the task name for the currently running CA 1 Health Checks 

F CAHC,DISPLAY TASK 

 

2. Under the column titled "Description" find CA_1, then looking to the left find its name under the column titled "Task". 

 

3. Delete the CA 1 Health Check task 

F CAHC,DELETE OWNER***  

 

4. Run TMSINIT to reinitialize CA 1. This will reload the CA 1 Health Checks from linklist.
