Step 1. Specifying fault-tolerant end-to-end scheduling information in EQQJOBS

About this task

Enter the information specific to the end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerant capabilities in the EQQJOBS8 dialog (this is part of the step describing how to use the EQQJOBS installation aid, which is documented in IBM® Z Workload Scheduler: Planning and Installation). EQQJOBS8 - Create sample job JCL shows dialog EQQJOBS8.

END-TO-END WITH FAULT TOLERANCE
Specify Y if you want to work with IBM Workload Scheduler fault-tolerant workstations.
Installation Directory
Specify the path where SMP/E has installed the IBM® Z Workload Scheduler files for UNIX system services that apply to the end-to-end enabler feature. This directory is the one containing the bin directory. The default path is /usr/lpp/TWS/VvRrMm.
Work Directory
Specify where the end-to-end subsystem files are. Replace /inst with a name that uniquely identifies your subsystem. Each subsystem that will use the fault-tolerant workstations must have its own work directory. Only the server and the daily planning batch jobs go in the work directory. See Step 4. Creating and customizing the work directory.
User for OPC address space
This information is used to create the procedure to build the directory with the right ownership. To run the end-to-end configuration correctly, the ownership of the work directory and the files it contains must be assigned to the same user ID that RACF® associates with the server started task. In the User for OPC address space field, specify the RACF® user ID used for the server address space. This is the name specified in the started-procedure table.
Refresh CP group
This information is used to create the procedure to build the directory with the right ownership. To create the new Symphony file, the user ID used to run the daily planning batch job must belong to the group that you specify in this field. Make sure that also the user ID associated with the server address space (the one specified in User for OPC address space field) belongs to this group or has this group as supplementary group.
After entering the information, press Enter, and several members are generated in the output library that you specified. These members, which are described in Sample JCL for end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities generated by the EQQJOBS8 dialog, will be used at various stages in the installation.
