Since the checks are written by individual components for health checker, there is probably a lot of inconsistencies in the way the APARs are documented. Since the checks should include documentation updates, you should be able to search by the check name as you did and find it. I just did a search on "Health Checker" and "ZFS" in IBMLINK and I came up with this APAR that may be the one, but there is no doc other than ZFS HEALTH CHECK FOR MIGRATION TO ZFS R13. APAR Identifier ...... OA35465 Release 3B0 : UA59383 available 11/04/03 (F103 ) I thought that was it, but in looking at my SMPPTS, it isn't. After some research, I think it was introduced with PTF UA61854 , which addresses several APARs including one that talks about a problem with that check itself (maybe the problem was found while in development). This link in the migration manual is supposed to help, but it is just leads you to the manual and APAR text, which you (and I) searched. http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/hchecker/check_table.html So back to my original suggestion - Marna! -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:m...@mzelden.com Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
