HC infrastructure does not access datasets other than those that you tell it to (such as logstream dataset(s) and the persistent data dataset). I can't speak about the check routines themselves, but well-behaved health checks running within the HZSPROC address space do not open datasets (and I know of no IBM-owned checks that violate that). I differentiate that from "remote" checks (which, as their designation suggests, run in a "remote" address space). It looks like it’s also looking at APF authorized libraries? When we just restarted HZSPROC, it recalled an APF library — an older version of a vendor library we’d left APF authorized in case we needed to go back and never cleaned up. <snip> my coworkers stopped HZSPROC because it was repeatedly issuing the message that ECSA usage was high </snip> The message is issued only as frequently as the check is configured by you to run, and only according to the threshold that you have identified. Stopping HZSPROC is surely the wrong reaction to this specific situation. If you simply don't want this check to run because you're aware of the problem then deactivate the check or change its parameters. Unfortunately, the person who actually knew anything about Health Checker here was forced to retire early, and no one else has had time to learn about it. We’ve had problems keeping a full staff. As I mentioned, I’ve been semi-retired (working less than half time) since January. Our management contracted a third-party support company to supposedly fill in our gaps, but to say that’s been a disappointment would be an understatement. (They were supposed to have upgraded us to z/OS 2.5 by now.) Their excuse seems to be that they have trouble keeping their staffing complete too. Sorry to kind of rant about this, but it’s been frustrating. I’m sure Health Checker is great if you know what you’re doing, but we don’t and can’t seem to get the resources to get there easily. -- Curtis Pew ITS Campus Solutions curtis....@austin.utexas.edu<mailto:curtis....@austin.utexas.edu> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
