Defining the distributed agents and domains

In this step you create a member containing a description of the IBM Workload Scheduler network topology with domains and agents. Remember that the agents of the distributed network are named fault-tolerant workstations when scheduling end-to-end.

Use the CPUREC and DOMREC initialization statements to describe the distributed IBM Workload Scheduler topology for the IBM Z Workload Scheduler server and plan programs. The IBM Z Workload Scheduler fault-tolerant workstations are mapped to physical IBM Workload Scheduler agents or workstations using the CPUREC statement. The DOMREC statement is used to describe the domain topology in the distributed IBM Workload Scheduler network.

You might decide to wait until you have physically installed the agents before starting this task, but the definitions must be in place before you start scheduling.
