  - About this publication
  - Customizing IBM Z Workload Scheduler
    - Defining initialization statements
      To customize the IBM Z Workload Scheduler functions you must set the initialization statements, which determine the tasks that IBM Z Workload Scheduler starts, how IBM Z Workload Scheduler processes work, and the functions that you can use.
    - Identifying related initialization-statement parameters
      This topic describes related initialization statements and parameters. Use this information to identify the parameters to consider when implementing particular functions, and to evaluate the effect on other processes that a function might have.
      - Configuration
        The following statements and parameters specify your IBM Z Workload Scheduler configuration. They identify IBM Z Workload Scheduler subsystems and the connections between them.
      - Security
        The following statements and parameters are set to protect IBM Z Workload Scheduler functions and data, and to record access to IBM Z Workload Scheduler data.
      - SSL connection
        The following statements and parameters specify the settings for the SSL communication.
      - Generating audit information (JT log data)
        The following parameters determine the amount of auditable information that IBM Z Workload Scheduler produces.
      - Generating extended-auditing information (DB log data)
        These parameters determine the amount of auditable information that IBM Z Workload Scheduler produces.
      - Determining the success or failure of a job
        The following parameters specify how IBM Z Workload Scheduler determines the next status of an operation when the job or started-task ends.
      - Recovery
        IBM Z Workload Scheduler can perform recovery actions for job and started-task failures and for system failures.
        Restart and cleanup
        Job log retrieval
        Automatic job recovery
        When an operation ends in error, IBM Z Workload Scheduler can perform recovery actions automatically or on request from the ended-in-error list in the MCP dialog. Recovery waits for cleanup action, if needed.
        Workload restart
      - Performance
        The following statements and parameters can affect the performance of IBM Z Workload Scheduler.
      - Reporting
        The following statements and parameters affect the reports that are produced by daily planning batch jobs.
      - RODM monitoring
        IBM Z Workload Scheduler support for RODM lets you use established resource monitoring. Through subscriptions to RODM, you can monitor the status of real resources used by IBM Z Workload Scheduler operations.
      - Output processing
        The following statements and parameters determine how IBM Z Workload Scheduler processes print output.
      - WLM integration
        The following statement and parameters determine how IBM Z Workload Scheduler integrates with Workload Manager (WLM) to run operations.
      - External monitoring
        The following statements and parameters specify the configuration options for IBM Z Workload Scheduler to work with Tivoli® Business Systems Manager and IBM® Tivoli Monitoring through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal component.
    - Implementing security
      Learn how to use IBM Z Workload Scheduler security features to protect IBM Z Workload Scheduler functions and data.
    - IBM Z Workload Scheduler exits
      Read the following information to understand General-use Programming Interface and Associated Guidance Information. It describes exits that are called by IBM Z Workload Scheduler. Your own programs can use the information passed by the exits to perform a variety of functions.
    - Open Systems Integration
      You can use the IBM Z Workload Scheduler to provide a single, consistent, control point for submitting and tracking the workload on any operating environment. IBM Z Workload Scheduler provides open interfaces to enable you to integrate the planning, scheduling, and control of units of work such as online transactions, file transfers, or batch processing in any operating environment that can establish communication with z/OS.
    - Reporting Events
      This topic describes how you can report events to IBM Z Workload Scheduler. It also contains General-use Programming Interface and Associated Guidance Information.
