Overview

An overview of end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities.

The end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities is an additional configuration of IBM Z Workload Scheduler and IBM Workload Scheduler. By configuring this environment, you can use the two schedulers together to schedule workloads from your z/OS® system and run jobs on different platforms. This means that from the mainframe you can prepare and run scheduling plans with jobs that will be running on operating systems other than z/OS®. You do this by connecting your IBM Workload Scheduler domains, fault-tolerant workstations, or standard agents to your IBM Z Workload Scheduler controller. In this way, you can schedule and monitor jobs in the distributed environment from your scheduler on z/OS®, either through ISPF panels or through the Dynamic Workload Console, a web user interface.

This configuration increases the scheduling options available to you, giving you additional choice in designing both your physical and your organizational workload scheduling structure. You must install and configure both IBM Z Workload Scheduler and IBM Workload Scheduler to do this type of scheduling.
