The end-to-end with fault tolerance capabilities environment

End-to-end with fault tolerance capabilities environment.

For end-to-end scheduling, IBM Z Workload Scheduler and IBM Workload Scheduler work together to schedule jobs. The architecture of the interaction between the two environments includes elements from both schedulers.

End-to-end with fault-tolerant capabilities environment shows two IBM Workload Scheduler agents installed on the distributed system as fault-tolerant agents. In an end-to-end with fault tolerance capabilities environment, the IBM® Z Workload Scheduler server component becomes a required component. It is also possible to use the Dynamic Workload Console as a graphical user interface to agents on both the distributed and z/OS® systems. To use Dynamic Workload Console, some optional components are required.
Figure 1. End-to-end with fault-tolerant capabilities environment

End-to-end workload environment with fault-tolerant capabilities
This environment increases the scheduling possibilities of your IBM Z Workload Scheduler system, because you can attach an IBM Workload Scheduler network, or individual IBM Workload Scheduler agents, and so have:
  • Multiple platforms and operating systems other than z/OS® capable of running workload that is managed by IBM Z Workload Scheduler
  • The possibility to have an unlimited number of linked IBM Workload Scheduler agents or sub-domains
To accomplish this, you must:
  1. Configure the end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities environment on IBM Z Workload Scheduler.
  2. Connect one or more IBM Workload Scheduler standard agents, fault-tolerant agents, or domain managers to the IBM Z Workload Scheduler engine.
  3. Define the IBM Z Workload Scheduler engine as the master domain manager on the IBM Workload Scheduler domain managers.
