DD statements describing the data
IBM Z Workload Scheduler data
is kept in VSAM as well as non-VSAM data sets:
- EQQADDS
- VSAM; application descriptions and JCL variable tables.
- EQQAD2DS
- VSAM; application descriptions (used by the batch loader).

- EQQCP1DS
- VSAM; primary-current-plan data set.
- EQQCP2DS
- VSAM; alternate-current-plan data set.
- EQQCXDS
- VSAM; current plan extension, containing special resource information.
- EQQJTxx
- Sequential; job-tracking-log data set (maximum 99).
- EQQJTARC
- Sequential; job-tracking-archive data set.
- EQQLTBKP
- VSAM; long-term plan backup.
- EQQLTDS
- VSAM; long-term plan data set.
- EQQNCPDS
- VSAM; new-current-plan data set.
- EQQNCXDS
- VSAM; new current plan extension, containing special resource information.
- EQQOIDS
- VSAM; operator instruction database.
- EQQRDDS

These data sets are common to most batch programs and to the IBM Z Workload Scheduler subsystem. Ensure that your batch jobs use the same data sets as the IBM Z Workload Scheduler subsystem (except when you are creating a separate database using the batch loader program, as described in How to code batch-loader control statements).
The batch jobs also allocate work data sets.
