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.
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.

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.

When a job is started, the fault-tolerant agent looks for the ID and password of the user who submitted it in the Symphony file. If they are not found, and LOCALPSW is set to YES in the TOPOLOGY statement, the agent looks for the user credentials in the workstation local database.

If the user ID is not found in the Symphony file and local database, the job does not start.

Note: For performance reasons, the users that you define locally must be also stored in the user table. Therefore, if you define or modify users' credentials, stop and restart the agent or run a Symphony renew.
