Step 7. Defining the fault-tolerant workstations

About this task

In this step you define as fault-tolerant workstations in the IBM Z Workload Scheduler workstation description database all the agents (fault-tolerant or standard) for which you created CPUREC statements.

Follow these steps to create a definition for each standard or fault-tolerant agent for which you created a CPUREC statement:
  1. Access the workstation panel by entering option 1.1 from the main ISPF menu. The MAINTAINING WORK STATION DESCRIPTIONS menu is displayed.
  2. Select option 2 (LIST). The LIST OF WORKSTATION DESCRIPTIONS panel, shown next, is displayed.
