Scheduling objects
Scheduling objects that you can view and manage using the Dynamic Workload Console.
The set of scheduling objects described in the current plan is
a subset of all the scheduling objects stored in the database. The
scheduling objects accessible from the Dynamic Workload Console depend on your IBM Workload Scheduler environment.
- For distributed environments, the scheduling objects reported in the production plan are:
- All the active workstations defined in the database. These are the workstations whose definition does not have the ignore flag set to on.
- All the domains.
- All the job streams scheduled to start in the production period and all jobs belonging to these job streams.
- All the resources, files, parameters, variables, and prompts defined in the job streams.
- For z/OS environments, the scheduling objects reported in the current plan are:
- All the active workstations defined in the database.
- All the job streams scheduled to start in the production period and all jobs belonging to these job streams.
- All the resources that these jobs and jobs streams depend on.
To differentiate between jobs and job streams defined in the database and jobs and job streams scheduled to run within the production period, according to the IBM Workload Scheduler standard naming convention, each occurrence of a job or a job stream scheduled to run in the current plan is called an instance. A current plan can contain more than one instance of the same job or job stream.
