      - Renewing the Symphony file
        In some situations the Symphony file in IBM Workload Scheduler is not created. For example, there might be a recovery from a disaster situation.
      - Recovering from missing or corrupted Symphony file
      - Managing Windows users and passwords locally
        In an end-to-end configuration, use the users utility to create and manage Windows™ user IDs and passwords locally. With this command, you define on a Windows fault-tolerant agent the credentials of the users that are associated with job definitions by the JOBUSR parameter.
      - Fault-tolerant workstations and replanning
        When creating a new Symphony, you can configure IBM Z Workload Scheduler to automatically send the Symphony file to IBM Workload Scheduler after you modify the current plan.

Creating and activating the current plan

Daily planning is the process of producing and maintaining the current plan, which is the detailed schedule of the work that IBM Z Workload Scheduler will carry out on your system.

When scheduling jobs in the IBM Workload Scheduler environment, current plan processing also includes the automatic generation of the Symphony file. The Symphony file contains the necessary details for jobs scheduled to run on distributed agents.

The Symphony file, as a part of the current plan, uses data from the following IBM Z Workload Scheduler data sets:

The copy of the current plan used to produce the Symphony file (SCP).
The script library.
The TOPOLOGY initialization statement.
