JES2 did not issue the $HASP256 message

We hit a problem where JES2 did not issue the $HASP256 message indicating that after a JES2 checkpoint reconfiguration dialog there is no long a value for NEWCKPT1. With the current design of the dialog, it is only the member of the MAS that
drives the dialog that then issues this highlighted message once the reconfiguration is complete.
We would like to have all members issue the
$HASP256 (where the driver issues it as a highlighted message and the other members issue it just to syslog).
In this manner, automations can detect there is no longer a value for NEWCKPT1 even if the driving system fails.

    In z/OS 2.4, a health check named JES2_CKPT_CONFIG_nodename was added to detect, among other things, that the NEWCKPTn data set is not set appropriately. Until this request can be completed, the messages from this health check can be used to detect that the value for NEWCKPTn is null.
