falls into the 'stupid, duplicate, bug infested' category, at least in the 
current implementation, in my opinion. Reasons:

1. IBM clearly promotes the CFSIZER to check structure sizes and to define the 
signalling structures in the sizes as recommended by the CFSIZER. That what 
that application is for. Input parms to the sizer are 'number of systems' and 
'classlen'. I have religiously followed the recommendations from the sizer, and 
at IPL XCF has always assured me that my configuration has full signalling 
connectivity.

2. This check takes a completely different approach: It uses the maxsystem 
value (see above) from the sysplex CDS and then screams that the signalling 
structures are not big enough to accomodate the arbitrary value from the 
syspelx CDS (and I would bet that at least 50% of installations have maxsystem 
set to 8, because that is the default). The check does NOT care how many 
systems there are in a sysplex.

3. Once ALLOWAUTOALTER is turned on in the cfrm policy for signalling 
structures, the alter process arbitrarily destroys full  signalling 
connectivity by severely rearranging the number of lists. IBM refuses to treat 
this as a bug, so we turned autoalter off to retain full connectivity.
