        How to install, upgrade, configure, and uninstall the Dynamic Workload Console and Z connector, which is automatically installed with a Dynamic Workload Console instance.

      • Deploying with containers

        Docker is a state-of-the-art technology that creates, deploys, and runs applications by using containers. Packages are provided containing an application with all of the components it requires, such as libraries, specific configurations, and other dependencies, and deploy it in no time on any UNIX, Windows, and Linux on Z workstation, regardless of any different settings between the source and the target workstation.

      • Deploying AI Data Advisor

        You can deploy AI Data Advisor (AIDA) by using Docker or Kubernetes.

      • Installing IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent (z-centric)

        The following topics describe how to install, migrate, and uninstall the IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent (also known as z-centric agent).

      • Installing IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agent on IBM i systems
      • Integrating Workload Automation with Zowe™

        Zowe™ is an open source project that enables you to interact with z/OS through modern interfaces. You can issue Workload Automation commands through the Zowe command-line interface (CLI), and access Workload Automation REST APIs through the Zowe API Mediation Layer (ML).

      • Sample library (SEQQSAMP)

        The SEQQSAMP library contains samples to help you install, migrate, and customize IBM Z Workload Scheduler.

Defining VTAM® resources for the server

Start by defining the associated VTAM resources for the server:
  • Defining a local LU for the server
  • Defining logon modes for the server

Then follow the instructions provided in Updating APPC options for the server and Defining VTAM resources in a parallel sysplex.
