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

    - 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.
    - Setting the security features
      - Setting strong authentication and encryption
        Key SSL concepts
        To authenticate a peer identity, the SSL protocol uses X.509 certificates called digital certificates. Digital certificates are electronic ID cards that are issued by trusted parties and enable a user to verify both the sender and the recipient of the certificate through the use of public-key cryptography.
        SSL connection for communication across the network
        IBM Workload Scheduler provides a secure, authenticated, and encrypted connection mechanism for communication across the network topology. This mechanism is based on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol and uses the OpenSSL Toolkit, which is automatically installed with IBM Workload Scheduler.

      - Setting for work across firewalls
        Prior to IBM Z Workload Scheduler version 8.2, running the commands to start or stop a workstation or to get the standard list, required opening a direct TCP/IP connection between the originator and the destination nodes. In a firewall environment, this forces users to break the firewall to open a direct communication path between the master and each fault-tolerant agent in the network.
    - Tuning global and local options in distributed network
    - Tuning network timeouts
      Network issues that make the connection to specific agents too slow can impact the performance of overall scheduling. IBM Workload Scheduler provides network timeout settings that you can tune to avoid problems with specific agents that affect the entire system.

Configuring the IBM Z Workload Scheduler SSL attributes

About this task

To configure IBM Z Workload Scheduler to establish SSL connections with the IBM Workload Scheduler domain managers, you must update the SSLLEVEL and SSLPORT definitions for the IBM Z Workload Scheduler master (OPCMASTER). You must define these options using the TOPOLOGY statement. For example:

TOPOLOGY
...
...
SSLLEVEL(ENABLED)
SSLPORT(31113)
...
