Dynamic Workload Console
The Web-based user interface for the entire IBM Workload Automation suite of products. It is the strategic user interface for the suite and includes support for the latest functions and enhancements featured in IBM Z Workload Scheduler.

The console gets access to the controller by way of the IBM Z Workload Scheduler connector component, which is installed by default with the Dynamic Workload Console and is connected to IBM Z Workload Scheduler by TCP/IP. For detailed information about how you install the Z connector with the Dynamic Workload Console, see Installing the Dynamic Workload Console.

The Dynamic Workload Console and IBM Z Workload Scheduler connector are components that you install and run on distributed platforms, Windows, UNIX, Linux, and z/OS.

One Z connector can be used to communicate with multiple Z controllers, and can serve multiple machines running Dynamic Workload Console. The graphical user interface and Z connector are installed in the installation directory of the same computer.

For detailed information about the Dynamic Workload Console, see the Dynamic Workload Console User's Guide.
