      - Subtasks
        An IBM Z Workload Scheduler address space (subsystem) consists of many z/OS subtasks. Some of these subtasks are always attached when the subsystem is started, others are conditionally attached according to initialization parameters specified for the scheduler options (OPCOPTS) statement in the IBM Z Workload Scheduler parameter library.

Software requirements and optional software

Installing and maintaining IBM Z Workload Scheduler requires one of the following products:

z/OS® (program number 5650-ZOS). For the minimum version supported, see the Program Directory.
IBM® SMP/E for z/OS®. For the minimum version supported, see the Program Directory.

IBM Z Workload Scheduler requires the functions provided by a z/OS® control program running on a z/OS® system. The Job Entry Subsystem might be either JES2 or JES3.
