Step 19. Activating support for Dynamic Workload Console

Perform this step if you want to use the Dynamic Workload Console to design and run your workload.

Before using the Dynamic Workload Console, you need to install the console, which also includes the installation of the Z connector. The Z connector forms the bridge between the console and IBM Z Workload Scheduler.

To produce a dynamic report that lists the supported operating systems, click Supported operating systems.

After having installed the Dynamic Workload Console, you can define a z/OS engine to connect to one IBM Z Workload Scheduler. To add more z/OS engine definitions after the installation process, see Defining a z/OS engine in the Z connector.

The console communicates with the product through the Z connector and the scheduler server by using the TCP/IP protocol. The console needs the server to run as a started task in a separate address space. The server communicates with IBM Z Workload Scheduler and passes the data and return codes back to the Z connector.

Perform the following task:

Install and configure the Dynamic Workload Console as described in the sections included in Installing Dynamic Workload Console and Z connector.
