New z/OS 1.13 Health Checks - Friday Rant

Rant of the day... This isn't the first and I'm sure it won't be the last... but why do I have to go and delete GRS and XCF health checks on my monoplex LPARs??? Sure I can add AUTHQLVL(2) to GRSCNF00, but I pick up the default from IBM.PARMLIB. We don't need no stinkin' XCF transport classe

Hi, Your point about whether it is worth defining the second class for 2% of the traffic applies to all sysplexes, not just monoplex. As is the case for many of our health checks, they are designed to incorporate principles/experiences gained over the years. Installations with at least th

Hi, Transport Classes are all about segregation of message traffic by size. Such segregation is beneficial regardless of whether messages are being sent between XCF members on the same system (which would always apply in the case of a monoplex) or between members that reside on different s

With regard to GRS, ENQs also apply to monoplexes. Through RNL processing it is largely the installation that determines an ENQ's scope. AUTHQLVL(2) is the means to migrate to a larger list of Qnames that are considered Authorized by the system. Bryan Childs GRS Development -

The list of authorized Qnames applies to all scopes of ENQs, regardless of RNLs, regardless of mode. Whether an ENQ's resolved scope is SYSTEMS, SYSTEM, or even STEP, only authorized programs can use authorized Qnames. In fact we recommend that authorized programs ALWAYS use authorized Qnames.
