Step 2. Generating batch-job skeletons

About this task

Several controller functions, such as daily planning, are performed by batch jobs that are submitted from the IBM Z Workload Scheduler dialog. To generate the skeleton JCL for these jobs you must select option 2 from the EQQJOBS main menu. Proceeding from there you get to dialog EQQJOBSA, which is relevant to end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities.

EQQJOBSA - Generate IBM Z Workload Scheduler batch-job skeletons shows dialog EQQJOBSA.

Press ENTER to generate OPC batch-job skeletons 

Specify Y in the END-TO-END WITH FAULT TOLERANCE field to indicate that you want batch-job skeleton members generated for working with fault-tolerant workstations. When you press Enter, the batch-job skeleton members are generated keeping fault-tolerant end-to-end scheduling into account.
