Fault-tolerant workstations

In IBM Z Workload Scheduler, a fault-tolerant agent is a computer workstation configured to schedule jobs on a distributed agent. Thus, you use a fault-tolerant agent so that you can schedule jobs on computers in the IBM Workload Scheduler network.

When you create a fault-tolerant agent, you must define it in the database and also in the CPUREC initialization statement in the parameter library. For more information about initialization statements and fault-tolerant agents, see Scheduling End-to-end with Fault Tolerance Capabilities.
