End-to-end workload environment
In an End-to-end workload environment (agent connected to the z/OS® system), you can define the types of configurations.
You can define the following types of configurations:
- To run your workload statically:
-
- Using fault-tolerant agents
- Use the fault-tolerant end-to-end scheduling environment to schedule and control static workload from the mainframe to distributed systems. On the distributed system, you install fault-tolerant agents and connect them to the z/OS server. See IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS: Scheduling End-to-end with Fault Tolerance Capabilities for more details.
- Using IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agents (z-centric)
- Use the z-centric end-to-end scheduling environment to schedule and control static workload from the mainframe to distributed systems with a low cost of ownership. On the distributed system, you install IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agents and connect them to the z/OS controller. For information about how to install it see IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS: Planning and Installation Guide for information about how to use it see IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS: Scheduling End-to-end with z-centric Capabilities for more details.
- To run your workload dynamically:
-
- Using IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agents (z-centric) with dynamic capabilities
- Use the z-centric end-to-end scheduling environment to schedule and control dynamic workload
from the mainframe to distributed systems with a low cost of ownership. On the distributed system,
you install IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agents , add
dynamic scheduling capabilities and connect them to a dynamic domain manager that must be connected to the z/OS controller. For information about how to:
- Install a dynamic domain manager see Installing a dynamic domain manager or its backup
- Install HCL Workload Automation for z/OS agents see IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS: Planning and Installation Guide
