Version 10.1 Fix Pack 6
Scheduling Job Integrations with IBM Workload Automation provides
information about how to set up and use
IBM® Workload Scheduler job plug-ins and access
methods.
Note: Many of the old plug-ins previously provided with the product, are now
out-of-the-box integrations available on
Automation
Hub. The related
documentation has been removed from the product library and has been made available on
Automation
Hub.
In
addition to these job plug-ins, you can find new integrations on Automation
Hub that extend
your automation
processes.
You can use access methods to extend the job scheduling capabilities of
IBM Workload Scheduler to other systems and
applications. Access methods run on:
- Extended agents to extend static scheduling capability.
- Dynamic agents and IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents to extend
dynamic scheduling capability.
For more details about which workstations can run the access methods, see
Supported agent workstations.
An access method interacts with the external system through either its command line or the
Dynamic Workload Console.
IBM Workload Scheduler includes the following
access methods:
Important: In order to be entitled
to use the access methods and plug-ins, you must have purchased at least one of the following
offerings:

Do not install IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for Applications, Version 8.6 on
top of an IBM® Workload Scheduler version
9.3 and later installation, which can cause problems when running jobs. IBM Workload Scheduler
for Applications is no longer a separate installable component. All the access methods and
plug-ins formerly included with IBM Workload Scheduler for Applications are now automatically
included in the IBM® Workload Scheduler
Version 9.3 and later installation, which include more updated versions of the plug-ins with
respect to IBM Workload Scheduler for Applications, Version 8.6.
