Planning and Installation
Planning your IBM® Workload Scheduler environment
IBM® Workload Scheduler orchestrates unattended, scheduled, and event-driven tasks for business and IT processes across on-premises and cloud environments organized in a network. A network consists of a set of linked workstations on which you perform job scheduling and processing to automate and manage your workflows. An IBM Workload Scheduler network is composed of a master domain manager, one or more Dynamic Workload Console servers, dynamic domain managers, and dynamic agents. You might also have fault-tolerant agents, extended agents, standard agents connected to the master domain manager or to domain managers.

    - IBM Workload Scheduler interfaces
      The IBM Workload Scheduler features several user interfaces from which you can manage your production environment.
    - Planning the environment
      Typical installation scenarios for products and components.
      - Distributed workload environment with static scheduling capabilities
        Configuration to run workload statically across your distributed network.
      - Distributed workload environment with dynamic scheduling capabilities
        Use this configuration to run workload dynamically across your distributed network.
      - Distributed workload environment with static and dynamic scheduling capabilities
        Use this configuration to run workload both statically and dynamically across your distributed network.
      - End-to-end workload environment
        In an end-to-end workload environment (agent connected to the z/OS® system), you can define different types of configurations.
      - Workload environment integrated with external systems
        Configuration to extend IBM Workload Scheduler capabilities for scheduling on external applications.
      - Distributed-driven workload environment for z/OS®
        Configuration used when submitting from the IBM Workload Scheduler.
      - Dockerized environment
        Use this configuration to implement a Dockerized environment.
    - Planning domains
      A IBM Workload Scheduler network contains at least one master domain manager that acts as a management hub for the product. Additional domains can be used to divide a widely-distributed network into locally-managed groups of workstations.
