      A job can use two kinds of scripts, centralized or non-centralized. A centralized script is a script that resides in IBM Z Workload Scheduler and that is downloaded to the fault-tolerant workstation every time the job is submitted.
      - Centralized scripts
        For a job running on a fault-tolerant workstation to use a centralized script, you must define that script in a job definition member of the JOBLIB as you would for a normal job JCL.
      - Non-centralized scripts
        For a job running on a fault-tolerant workstation to use a non-centralized script, you must define the script by specifying the JOBSCR or the JOBCMD keywords in the JOBREC statement of a SCRPTLIB member.
      - Configuring the SCRPTLIB
        Jobs that run on fault-tolerant workstations can use solely a non-centralized script or a combination of centralized and non-centralized scripts (if they are to take advantage of the SCRPTLIB statements). These jobs must be associated to members of the SCRPTLIB (identified by the EQQSCLIB DD statement of the controller and the daily planning JCL). You also define some keywords such as the user name, the return code, and the variable substitution in the SCRPTLIB.

Defining centralized and non-centralized scripts

A job can use two kinds of scripts, centralized or non-centralized. A centralized script is a script that resides in IBM Z Workload Scheduler and that is downloaded to the fault-tolerant workstation every time the job is submitted.

A non-centralized script is a script that resides on the fault-tolerant workstation.

Centralized scripts are defined in both the controller job library (EQQJBLIB DD statement, also called JOBLIB) and in the controller script library (EQQSCLIB DD statement, also called SCRPTLIB). Non-centralized scripts are defined only in the SCRPTLIB.

Note: If you have jobs dispatched to Tivoli® Dynamic Workload Broker through standard agents, these jobs cannot use centralized scripts.

Because both centralized and non-centralized scripts have definition entries in the SCRPTLIB, avoid the risk of overlapping definitions by using different naming conventions to identify these types of scripts.
