Setting up DFSMSrmm to use the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS

Follow this procedure to set up IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS for management of DFSMSrmm tasks:

  1. Customize the batch loader statements in EDGJLOPC as described in Customizing the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS batch loader statements.
  2. Ensure that the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS workstations that are required by the DFSMSrmm applications are defined to the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS as described in Setting up IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS workstations.
  3. Make the customized jobs and procedures available to IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS and to your running systems as described in Descriptions of DFSMSrmm jobs to run with the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS.
  4. Run EDGJHKPA to define GDG bases and to create first generations if needed. DFSMSrmm provides a job called preparation, that is described in Descriptions of DFSMSrmm jobs to run with the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS, that you can use to create the GDGs.
  5. Change the DFSMSrmm PARMLIB OPTION command BACKUPPROC and SCRATCHPROC operands to use the new sample procedures for use with the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS as described in Defining system options: OPTION.
  6. Run the DFSMSrmm sample EDGJLOPC job as described in Descriptions of DFSMSrmm jobs to run with the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS.
  7. Add the event trigger tracking entries to the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS by using the dialog as described in Event triggered tracking.
  8. Set up the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS restart management to handle restart activities. Restart management uses the DFSMSrmm application programming interface to issue commands based on the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS restart/recovery options that you define. If you do not use IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS, you can issue DFSMSrmm TSO subcommands to change information as needed.
    If not all of the data sets on a volume are created successfully, you can use the subcommand shown in Figure 1 to override normal vital record specification management processing.
