Part 9: ThruPut Manager health checks

BMC ThruPut Manager is now using the IBM Health Check functions to notify operations when certain situations occur or if there are various settings that are not the norm to what BMC suggests. As with all Health Checks, these can either be turned off entirely or ignored. IBM also allows you to modify the checks to occur at less frequent times or be less severe. To disable the BMC ThruPut Manager Health Checks, you can specify "HEALTHCHECK=NO" on the JES2 TMPARM statement.

If any of the Health Checks appears as an exception, it is suggested that you select the row under SDSF CK option and review the information on that panel. If more assistance is required, contact BMC Support.
