Interfacing with other programs

About this task

IBM® Z Workload Scheduler provides a program interface (PIF). Using this interface, you can automate most actions that you can perform online through the dialogs. This interface can be called from CLISTs, user programs, and using TSO commands.

The application programming interface (API) lets your programs communicate with IBM® Z Workload Scheduler from any compliant platform. You can use Common Programming Interface for Communications (CPI-C), advanced program-to-program communication (APPC), or your own logical unit (LU) 6.2 verbs to converse with IBM® Z Workload Scheduler through the API. You can use this interface to query and update the current plan. The programs can be running on any platform that is connected locally, or remotely through a network, with the z/OS® system where the engine runs.
