End-to-end scheduling

By using end-to-end scheduling, you can schedule and control jobs on mainframe, Windows™, and UNIX™ environments, for truly distributed scheduling. In the end-to-end configuration, IBM® Z Workload Scheduler is used as the planner for the job scheduling environment. IBM Workload Scheduler domain managers, standard, fault-tolerant, and z-centric agents are used to schedule on the distributed platforms. The agents replace the use of tracker agents.

IBM® Z Workload Scheduler also allows you to access job streams (schedules in IBM Workload Scheduler) and add them to the current plan in IBM® Z Workload Scheduler. In addition, you can build dependencies among IBM® Z Workload Scheduler job streams and IBM Workload Scheduler jobs. From IBM® Z Workload Scheduler, you can monitor and control the distributed agents.
