Workflows overview

The z/OSMF Workflows task can help you guide the activities of system programmers, security administrators, and others at your installation who are responsible for managing the configuration of the system. The Workflows task provides a framework for these activities in the form of structured procedures that are known as workflows.

Using the Workflows task, you can assign individual work items (the workflow "steps") to performers and track their progress. Depending on how the workflow is designed, the Workflows task can offer wizards to assist with creating UNIX files and z/OS data sets, and submitting work to run on z/OS.
