Restoring the Operator Instruction (OI) data set

About this task

To restore the OI data set:

Stop IBM Z Workload Scheduler.
Allocate a new OI data set.
Copy the backup data set to the OI data set.
If you allocated the data set with a new name, update all JCL (ddname EQQOIDS) to reference the new OI data set.
Start IBM Z Workload Scheduler.
Enter the Operator Instruction dialog to verify that instructions are correctly defined. All instructions added since the OI backup was created must be added again.
