IBM Z Workload Scheduler Small Programming Enhancements released in July 2023

The following features were provided with IBM® Z Workload Scheduler small programming enhancements (SPEs) released for Version 10.1, in July 2023 (APAR PH52702).

Opening an incident through ServiceNow
When an anomaly is detected, the faster you react the better! To have the Z controller open incidents through ServiceNow© and manage issues through a ticketing system, now you can:
Defining jobs outside of EQQJBLIB and job-library-read exit (EQQUX002)
Typically, you define jobs in the concatenated libraries referenced by EQQJBLIB or with the job-library-read exit (EQQUX002). To define operations whose jobs are located outside of both EQQJBLIB and EQQUX002, you are now provided with the JOBLIBRARY user field. By setting this user field, IBM® Z Workload Scheduler dynamically allocates the specified library when required.

For more detailed information, see Defining jobs.

Provide EXECUTE command for WTO workstations (RFE ZWS-I-95)
You can now issue an Execute command on a WTO general workstation, even if the job submission is deactivated on the Z controller.
EQQAUDIT should include records if operation is manually held (RFE ZWS-I-167)
If you update the Manually Hold or NOP option by using the ISPF fast path 5.3 - Automatic Options, the modified value is displayed in the EQQAUDIT report as "CHANGED VALUE".
