Summary of Changes

The following new features have been included in Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Version 8— Release 6, Modification Level 0: Install Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS connector on IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS to maintain your business in a z/OS environment and simultaneously manage your workload using modern applications like Web Services. New ISPF Panels style to have a quick at-a-glance view of objects in the Application Descriptions and in Current Plan. Reports generated by running batch programs can optionally be sent to other users by email. Automatically retrieving a job log when a job ends in error and Operation Info for Restart and Cleanup. Add dynamic capabilities to your environment by connecting the z/OS controller to a dynamic domain manager installed in the distributed environment. The type of dynamic capabilities depends on the type of workload you plan to run: – If you plan to run existing Tivoli Workload Scheduler jobs dinamically, install the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS agents with dynamic capabilities and connect the agents to a dynamic domain manager connected to a Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS controller. – If you plan to run both existing Tivoli Workload Scheduler jobs and job types with advanced options dynamically, install the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS agents with dynamic capabili- ties and Java runtime and connect the agents to a dynamic domain manager connected to a Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS controller. Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Version 8.6 supports an extended format VSAM data set that can be allocated for JS data sets that exceed 4 GB. New cross dependencies to integrate the workload running on different engines, which can be Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS engines (Controller) or Tivoli Workload Scheduler engines (Master Domain Manager and Backup Master Domain Manager). Defining and scheduling jobs to perform specific tasks, such as database, file transfer, Java, and web services operations. To define an schedule these job types with advanced options, you do not need to have specific skills on the applications where the job runs. The variable substitution mechanism is also allowed for new job types with advanced options. A new parameter, KEEPCOMPDEPS, has been introduced in the BATCHOPT initialization statement that determines the permanence of external dependencies on a completed operation that belongs to occurrences that are still active when a daily plan job is submitted and either extended or replanned. RACF user field: For the AD.UFVAL and CP.UFVAL subresources that you specify in the AUTHDEF initialization statement to protect user fields, support has been provided to protect user fields longer than 54 characters. Define a new RACF profile or use an existing profile and specify, for example, MAXLNTH=80 to ensure that user field names and user field values up to 80 characters are sup- ported.

Installing the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent which is able to run workload from a z/OS environment in a distributed environment. The z-centric capabilities are provided by the Tivoli Work- load Scheduler for z/OS Agent chargeable component. To download this chargeable component from Passport Advantage, see the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent Download Document at the following website: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=672&uid=swg24030243.

For information about Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Version 8— Release 6, Modification Level 0 functions, see Tivoli Workload Automation Overview, SC32-1256.

If you are working in an end-to-end environment, depending on the type of configuration you have, see the following publications: Scheduling End-to-end with z-centric Capabilities, SC27-2399, if you are working with agents con- nected to the z/OS controller. Scheduling End-to-end with Fault-Tolerant Capabilities, SC32-1732, if you are working with agents connected to the z/OS server.

Interoperability

This section contains information about the interoperability of Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Version 8— Release 6, Modification Level 0 with: Dynamic Workload Console Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Connector Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent

Dynamic Workload Console

The Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Version 8— Release 6, Modification Level 0 engine requires the Tivoli Dynamic Workload Console version 8.6.0 and the z/OS Connector version 8.6.0. Note: If you do not have this level of code you can download it from the IBM Web Membership (IWM) website: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?lang=en_US&source=tiveed

You can request access to the IWM URL by contacting support as you normally would, such as by calling the support line or by opening an electronic PMR. You can also send an email to [email protected]. If you choose to send an email to [email protected], please be sure to provide your customer number, customer name, phone number, and preferred email address.

Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS connector

Both consoles communicate with the controller through the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS connector component, which is also packaged with the product.

For information about installing, upgrading, and uninstalling the z/OS connector, see IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Planning and Installation Guide.

The z/OS connector requires one of the following operating systems:
