IBM® Workload Scheduler
Welcome to the IBM® Workload Scheduler documentation, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use IBM Workload Scheduler. The documentation has been updated for IBM Workload Scheduler Version 10.2.7.
- Quick Start Guide
- Planning and Installation
- User's Guide and Reference
  - IBM Workload Scheduler
  - Understanding basic processes and commands
  - Configuring the job environment
  - Managing the production cycle
  - Using workload service assurance
    Workload service assurance is an optional feature that provides the means to flag jobs as mission critical for your business and to ensure that they are processed in a timely manner. Using this function benefits your scheduling operations personnel by enhancing their ability to meet defined service levels.
  - Customizing your workload using variable tables
    This chapter introduces the concept of variable tables to group global parameters, from now on called variables, to customize your workload.
  - Condition-based workload automation
  - Running event-driven workload automation
  - Defining objects in the database
  - Managing objects in the database - composer
  - Managing workload applications
    Workload applications can be created and then exported so that they can be shared with other IBM Workload Scheduler environments. In the new environment, the workload application can be subsequently updated, replaced, or deleted.
  - Managing objects in the plan - conman
  - Using Orchestration Query Language
    You can use the essential Orchestration Query Language (OQL) keywords and syntax to effectively write queries.
  - Orchestration CLI
    The command line interface to run jobs or job streams and to interact with IBM® Workload Scheduler.
  - Modifying context parameter temporarily
    You can temporarily modify the parameters in the default config.yaml file when you run a plan, model or plug-in command. This feature permits you to customize the behavior of a specific command without modifying the entire config.yaml file.
  - Monitoring IBM® Workload Scheduler
    Using internal and third-party tools to monitor IBM® Workload Scheduler
  - Extending IBM Workload Scheduler capabilities
    You can extend IBM Workload Scheduler capabilities by integrating with third-party products. This integration allows you to easily start IBM Workload Scheduler jobs on external products, while using IBM Workload Scheduler scheduling capabilities. IBM Workload Scheduler also provides jobs that perform everyday operations, such as file transfer and web services, and utility jobs that automate and simplify operations, such as the job stream submission.

      - Access method for PeopleSoft
        What you need and what you can do with Access method for PeopleSoft.
      - Common serviceability for the access methods
        This section provides information common to all the access methods including return code mapping, configuring the tracing utility, and troubleshooting the access method.
    - Integration with SAP
    - Troubleshooting
  - Managing internetwork dependencies
  - Applying conditional branching logic
    With IBM® Workload Scheduler you can define jobs to run when and as often as necessary. Sometimes some jobs might have to wait for other jobs to finish successfully before they start. Add even more flexibility to your job flows by choosing which job to run depending on the result of the job status or output of a previous job. Whenever you have conditions that specify whether or not a segment of your job flow should run, then that is a conditional dependency.
