Using z/OS health checker is good – but how do I use it?

I had a message on the console saying

HZS0001I CHECK(IBMICSF,ICSF_CLEAR_KEYS): CSFH0056E Clear keys in the CKDS, PKDS, or TKDS were found.

Great – but what next?

In SDSF, you can use the CK command to display the health-checker events.

There were a lot of checks. The SDSF command CK E, displays only those with exceptions; where the result was > 0.

There are various line commands, but SE gives you all of the information, in the ISPF editor.

In the page it told me

CSFH0054I Check for clear keys in the CKDS, PKDS, and TKDS. 
Active TKDS: COLIN.SCSFTKDS

Great – this is very useful. However the action “Contact the ICSF administrator” is not very helpful as I am the ICSF administrator!
