Note: While the usage of the XCF system service is an option on the z/OS<br />

platform, the default setting for the core group member failure detection is the<br />

heartbeat technique. This default setting is chosen due to the common code<br />

Due to the benefits of the XCF support for <strong>WebSphere</strong> HA manager, we<br />

each component of a cell, including application servers, the deployment<br />

manager, and the node agent (Figure 14-7 on page 440).<br />
