- Planning and Installation
- Customization and Tuning
- Managing the Workload
  You can plan when and how your workload runs and manage it as part of a plan.
- Scheduling End-to-end with z-centric Capabilities
  - About this publication
  - Configuring
  - Customizing the HTTP connections
    The communication between the IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents and the IBM Z Workload Scheduler controller is direct, through the HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
  - Defining user IDs and passwords with the USRREC statement
    Use the USRREC initialization statement to define the passwords for the users who need to schedule jobs to run on Windows™ workstations. You do not need to do this if you run native job types on non-Windows workstations.
  - Defining variables and passwords for local resolution
  - Defining and managing IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent workstations in the database
    After defining the destinations of your IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents, you need to define the IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents as IBM Z Workload Scheduler computer automatic workstations.
  - Defining and managing dynamic workstations
    When you add dynamic capabilities to your environment, you can schedule your workload dynamically.
  - Setting the security features
  - Defining and managing jobs
    - Defining jobs from the Dynamic Workload Console
      How to define a new job definition using the Dynamic Workload Console.
    - Defining a job in the JOBLIB data set
      You define the jobs to be run on IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent workstations in a job definition member of the JOBLIB data set. In the JOBLIB member, you can either define the job contents or invoke a script or an executable that is stored locally on the IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent workstation.
    - Using variable substitution
      The variable substitution mechanism that is used in IBM Z Workload Scheduler native job types works the same way when scheduling jobs on IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents. The variable substitution mechanism changes when you define job types with advanced options, such as Java™ jobs that run a Java class, or file transfer jobs that transfer files to and from a server, to name a few. These types of jobs are created and edited using the Dynamic Workload Console.
    - Defining file dependencies to check for file changes
    - Checking for file changes with filemonitor
    - Promoting critical jobs
      An overview of the mechanism that is behind the promotion of critical jobs, or of their predecessors, running on IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents, including pools and dynamic pools.
    - Killing operations
  - Administering IBM i dynamic environment
    On overview on how to administer the IBM Workload Scheduler IBM i dynamic environment.
  - Monitoring and recovering jobs
  - Running a script when a job completes
  - Viewing the job logs from the host
    An overview on how to view or retrieve the job logs issued in the z-centric environment and how to attach a header with job run information on top of each log.
