Modifying the workstation from fault-tolerant agent to IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent
About this task
To modify a fault-tolerant agent workstation that
uses centralized job scripts to an IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent workstation, perform the following
steps.
Note:
- For jobs whose JOBREC includes an RCCONDSUC parameter, see Managing return codes for information about how to perform return code management for jobs scheduled on an IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent.
- To modify a fault-tolerant agent workstation that uses non-centralized job scripts to an IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent workstation, you can follow the same procedure. Additionally, you must convert the information contained in the EQQSCLIB data set into information for the JOBLIB data set, by using the appropriate JOBREC statement keywords.
Procedure
- Define the IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent destination by setting the ROUTOPTS statement. For details, refer to Defining destinations with the ROUTOPTS statement.
- Optionally, customize the HTTP connection with the HTTPOPTS statement. For details, refer to Customizing the HTTP connection with the HTTPOPTS statement.
- From the MODIFYING GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT A WORK STATION
panel, modify the workstation database definition by setting Z-CENTRIC
AGENT to
Y. For details, refer to Modifying. - To prevent that message EQQ3036W is issued in the MLOG, comment out the CPUREC statement related to the fault-tolerant workstation you are modifying.
