        • Customizing HTTP connection with HTTPOPTS statement

          HTTPOPTS statement to customize HTTP connection.

        • Customizing the http timeout on the Dynamic Workload Console

          You can increase the length of the HTTP connection timeout in the Dynamic Workload Console to allow more time for retrieving objects related to the z-centric environment.

        • Configuring the heartbeat checking interval for z-centric agents and dynamic domain managers
        • Configuring the connection between the z-centric agent and controller through a proxy

          You can configure that one or more z-centric agents connect with the controller through a proxy server, by defining the proxy properties in the ROUTOPTS statement and JobManager.ini file.

        • Starting and stopping HTTP subtasks

          An HTTP Server subtask and an HTTP Client subtask run the transmission of data between the scheduler and the IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents on the distributed side. These subtasks automatically start at controller startup.

      • 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.
