Customize the interval for CHCK transaction

Hi,

This is with respect to PMR 09778 122 000. We recently discovered that IBM has introduced authorization check facility via transaction CHCK (program DFHHCHK). For CICS TS 5.3 this has come along via PTF UI49544.

Now this check is done every 30 mins and from the function it performs, it does not look as a pressing need to keep checking the three mentioned functions every 30 mins.

Hence, I would like to propose that there would be a parameter to control this check interval, like a SIT parameter or so. So that the customer can customize this interval period per the requirement of their site.

Thanks!

    In the CICS TS Open Beta announced last Thursday,
    we have provided the ability to exclude regions, such as development and test regions,
    from being health checked.
    In addition we have provide the capability of customising which checks are done.

    From an auditing point of view, we understand that auditors need up to date
    information, hence the 30 minute interval.
    From our measurements the CPU cost in negligable

    Although this is not quite the solution that you suggested,
    does this meet your requirements?
