Output

Output from the batch loader can be for an AD, OI, or RG database, or all of them. The output can be directed to:
  • Databases allocated to an active IBM® Z Workload Scheduler subsystem
  • A database that you set up yourself, that is, a VSAM key-sequenced data set (KSDS)
Important: Unlike AD and OI which are also physical data sets, the RG is a logical database whose records are located physically in the WS database.

If the batch-loader output is directed to an active IBM® Z Workload Scheduler subsystem, you specify which IBM® Z Workload Scheduler subsystem the information should be directed to. You can also specify if your AD, OI, or RG information is new and should be added to the database, or if it should replace existing information.

If the batch-loader output is directed to a VSAM data set, the batch-loader program is run independently of any IBM® Z Workload Scheduler subsystem; it is not necessary to start the IBM® Z Workload Scheduler subsystem. This independently created database can then be allocated to an active IBM® Z Workload Scheduler subsystem at a later time.
