Hello, we posted a PDF document on the TWS WIKI (path Tivoli Workload Scheduler>TWS Distributed>Distributed-driven scheduling on JES) that compares the two solutions available to schedule wokload on JES from TWS distributed . In fact, there are two products that can accomplish this task: Tivoli Workload Scheduler for Applications for z/OS and the Tivoli Workload Scheduler distributed Agent for z/OS. If you have Tivoli Workload Scheduler and a z/OS system where you would like to schedule workload that does not require the use of the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS apparatus, eiher may provide an interesting solution. The TWSdistributed Agent for z/OS, being of a newer design, is better integrated wih the concept of dynamic scheduling.

The document also provides suggestions about migrating your job definitions to the TWS database should you decide to go from the extended agent for z/OS to the new distributed agent (for z/OS) available with TWS 8.6 , as it explains how to keep the procedural part of your JCLs on z/OS while moving only the job cards to the TWS database.
