Choosing the appropriate statements

The statements that you define determine the IBM® Z Workload Scheduler functions that you can use. Defining the appropriate initialization statements shows which statements you can define for a tracker, a controller, a server, a data store, a batch, or a PIF application. For a standby controller, you specify the controller statements.

To use the end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities, you must also define the job definition statements for fault-tolerant workstations in the SCRPTLIB library as described in Defining the initialization statements for end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities.

Table 1. Defining the appropriate initialization statements
Name	Tracker	Controller	Server	Data Store	Batch	PIF	Specifies options for

AUDIT		✓					Creating audit information for changes to IBM® Z Workload Scheduler data.
AUDITCP		✓					Creating audit information for automatic status changes of an operation condition in the current plan.
AUTHDEF	✓	✓					Security checking.
BATCHOPT					✓		Specifying options for all batch jobs.
CPUREC					✓		Specifying the configuration options for a fault-tolerant workstation.
DBCSOPTS		✓					Japanese language feature.

DOMREC					✓		Defining a domain for distributed agents network.
DSTOPTS				✓			Specifying options for the data store.
DSTUTIL				✓			Specifying options for data store batch utilities and the CleanUp subtask.
ERDROPTS	✓	✓					Event reader task.
EWTROPTS	✓						Event writer task.
EXITS	✓	✓					Calling IBM® Z Workload Scheduler exits.
FLOPTS		✓					Communicating with data store (allowing job log retrieval and restart and cleanup functions).
HTTPOPTS		✓					Options for the HTTP communications.
INCLUDE		✓					NOERROR table definition members.
Purpose			✓			✓	Run-time options for processing requests from a PIF application and a server.

JTOPTS		✓					Determining how operations behave at workstations and how they are submitted and tracked.
MAILOPTS		✓					Sending an email when the alert condition that you set in ALERTS occurs.
MONOPTS		✓					Enabling monitoring by an external agent. Used by IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring.
MONPOL		✓					Defining the monitoring policy to be used by external monitors.
NOERROR		✓					Treating job-tracking error codes as normal completion codes.
OPCOPTS	✓	✓					Starting IBM® Z Workload Scheduler subtasks.
RCLDDP		✓					Listing protected DDnames
RCLDSNP		✓					Listing protected data set name.

RESOPTS		✓					Controlling special resources
RESOURCE					✓		Defining for which special resources daily planning should produce reports.
RODMOPTS		✓					Monitoring special resources through RODM.
ROUTOPTS		✓					Communication routes to tracker, z-centric agent, and remote engine destinations.
SERVOPTS			✓				Defining options for a server.
TCPOPTS	✓	✓	✓	✓		✓	Local TCP/IP communication task. You can define it also in an EQQYPARM file referenced in the user logon procedure.
TOPOLOGY			✓		✓		Specifying configuration options for end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities.
TRGOPT		✓					Event-driven workload automation support. Used by the Java™ program that creates configuration files for data set triggering.
TRROPTS	✓						The communication route to the controller.
USRREC					✓		Defining the user id and password to be used for the operations running on fault-tolerant workstations.
XCFOPTS	✓	✓					XCF communications.

Defining the initialization statements for end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities shows the statements you must define for the jobs running on fault-tolerant workstations. For detailed information, see IBM Z Workload Scheduler: Scheduling End-to-end with Fault Tolerance Capabilities.

Table 2. Defining the initialization statements for end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities
Name	Description
JOBREC	Fault-tolerant workstation job properties
VARSUB	Variable substitution options
RECOVERY	Recovery for a job whose status is in error and the error code is not FAIL
