At the end of each script a basic Healthcheck is kicked off on each server with the following switches:

SET DSTRACE =NODEBUG
SET DSTRACE =ON
SET DSTRACE = S
SET DSTRACE = PART
SET DSTRACE =*U
SET DSTRACE =*H

Following by a 30-second pause, the DSTRACE screen is turned off and the following switches are set:

SET TTF=OFF
