Basic server configuration example

An example of a basic server configuration of IBM Z Workload Scheduler.

IBM Z Workload Scheduler connects distributed agents to the server via TCP/IP. The controller transmits work to the fault-tolerant workstations via TCP/IP, and the same connection is used to pass event information back. The server is connected to the first level domain managers in the distributed network. TCP/IP is also used to connect the Dynamic Workload Console to the server through the connector. The server connects to the remote interfaces, either Programming Interfaces or remote ISPF interface users, using APPC. The following example shows a simple configuration using mixed protocols and minimal parameter customization.

Graphic showing the configuration of an end-to-end environment with both TCP/IP and APPC connections.

Example EQQSERP members for Figure 1 shows the initialization statements you can use to create the configuration in A basic server configuration example, using the TCP/IP link for the user application-server communication.
