Launching IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS jobs

To launch and monitor an IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS job, HCL Workload Automation passes the application name, and other optional parameters, it wants to run to the z/OS Gateway. If it exists in the IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS database, the application is inserted into the current plan. The input arrival, deadline arrival, priority, and automatic dependency resolution parameters, if included, override any values specified in IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS.

At a rate defined by the CheckInterval value in the method options file, HCL Workload Automation checks the status of the occurrence (application) in IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS.
