Health Checker - VSAMRLS_QUIESCE_STATUS check

Whenever there is a situation that causes VSAMRLS_QUIESCE_STATUS to alert ( by reaching the predefined threshold for the quiesce status ) this check generates a list of the CICS regions accessible only if you go inside the check - that means you have to go the SDSF CK panel, and S(elect) the check VSAMRLS_QUIESCE_STATUS to actually see which CICS regions are taking too long to complete the quiesce. 

It would be very convenient if this list is externalized to the OPERLOG so that customer automation can take action upon them, causing an immediate relief to possible the contention scenarios caused by taking too long to complete a QUIESCE operation. An automation could take dumps of the CICS region(s) and issue CANCEL to allow the environment to continue processing.

    We are looking into having Health Checker send the D SMS, SMSVSAM,QUIESCE command output to SYSLOG or OPERLOG. At this point it is a potential roadmap item but we don't have a release or date to provide at this time.

    In the meantime, could Bradesco automate the D SMS, SMSVSAM,QUIESCE command when Health Checker displays the IGWRH0402E (i.e., "unresponsive subsystem for quiesce activity"), or IGWRH0403I ("The list of unresponsive subsystems is shown in the quiesce status table below") message? The D SMS,SMSVSAM,QUIESCE command issued at that time would tell us if RLS is stuck waiting on any outstanding events on the system.
