IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent workstations

An IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent is a computer automatic workstation and has the Z-CENTRIC AGENT option in the panel shown in EQQWCGEP - Creating general information about a workstation set to Y. IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents are distributed workstations that run jobs scheduled from IBM® Z Workload Scheduler. Like fault-tolerant agents, they are installed in an IBM Workload Scheduler distributed domain. Unlike fault-tolerant agents, they do not:

Have fault tolerance
Require the end-to-end server
Need topology definitions

Communication with the agents is handled directly by the controller.

An IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent is a computer running the IBM Workload Scheduler agent. For more information about the end-to-end scheduling with z-centric capabilities environment, see IBM Z Workload Scheduler: Scheduling End-to-end with z-centric Capabilities.
