Defining scheduling activities using HCL Workload Automation
About this task
To perform scheduling activities using HCL Workload Automation you must first define the environment you want to manage in terms of scheduling objects and in terms of rules to be applied when scheduling operations to run on these objects. This information is stored by HCL Workload Automation in a DB2® or Oracle Relational Data Base, from now on called the database.
In addition
to the definitions of scheduling objects, such as jobs, job streams,
resources, workstations, and so on, the database also contains statistics
about processed jobs and job streams, as well as information about
the user who created an object and when an object was last modified.
You can manage the scheduling object definitions in the database using
either the HCL Workload Automation command-line
program named composer or the graphical user interfaces, the Dynamic
Workload Console. You can retrieve statistics or history information
about processed jobs and job streams in the database using:
- The HCL Workload Automation report utilities from the command line.
- The Dynamic Workload Console.
- The database views.
For more information about report utility commands, refer to Getting reports and statistics.
For more information about the Dynamic Workload Console, refer to the corresponding documentation.
