Controlling the distributed plan

In addition to using the standard IBM Z Workload Scheduler user interfaces (the ISPF dialogs and the Dynamic Workload Console) to control the plan, you can control the part of the plan running on the distributed network (the Symphony file) directly on an IBM Workload Scheduler workstation. You can do this on the following interfaces:

The conman program of IBM Workload Scheduler.
The Dynamic Workload Console for the distributed environment.

Note: When the plan is part of end-to-end scheduling, some actions are inhibited. The following two sections list the subset of actions available for end-to-end scheduling.
