The ISPF environment

IBM Z Workload Scheduler ISPF dialog users must run software parts that are at the same level as the Z controller address space. Again, using the same data set names for software parts libraries, such as messages and panels, negates the requirement to change TSO logon procedures.

If you use the same data set names, instruct dialog users to return to the TSO READY prompt after you have replaced the software parts and before they try to communicate with an IBM Z Workload Scheduler Z controller.

The IBM Z Workload Scheduler ISPF profile is automatically reinitialized when the EQQOPCAP panel (the IBM Z Workload Scheduler main menu) is first displayed for a new release. Dialog users must enter the IBM Z Workload Scheduler options dialog and redefine required values, such as the subsystem name.

Be sure to create backup copies of the old libraries before you replace the objects.

When migrating from one release of IBM Z Workload Scheduler to the next, the LOADLIB, PANELLIB, MSGLIB, CLIB, and SKELLIB for the right IBM Z Workload Scheduler release must be invoked from the TSO ISPF dialogs. Remember to identify the library where EQQMINOx resides.
