About this task

How to create a job definition for supported agents using the Dynamic Workload Console.

Steps for defining a job for supported agents.

To define jobs, follow these steps:

From the Dynamic Workload Console portfolio, click Administration > Workload Design > Manage Workload Definitions.
Specify an engine name, either distributed or z/OS. The Workload Designer window opens. Job types and characteristics vary depending on whether you select a distributed or a z/OS engine.
In the Working List pane, select New > Job Definition.
Select the category and type of job you want to create.
- For SAP jobs, ERP > SAP Job on XA Workstations or SAP Job on Dynamic Workstations. See Creating SAP Standard R/3 jobs from the Dynamic Workload Console.
- For z/OS and PeopleSoft, ERP > Access Method.
In the properties panel, specify the attributes for the job definition you are creating. For all the details about available fields and options, see the online help by clicking the "?" in the top-right corner.
Click Save to save the job definition in the database.

Note: The access method for SAP R/3 provides supplementary features if you use the alternative steps described in Create an SAP job and associate it to an HCL Workload Automation job or Creating an SAP job from the Dynamic Workload Console. You can create native SAP R/3 Standard jobs on a remote SAP system directly from the Dynamic Workload Console.
