Implementing What-if Analysis changes to the plan

The IBM Workload Scheduler What-if Analysis shows activities displayed against time and gives you a visual representation of your plan at a glance in real time.

Run the What-if Analysis before implementing the actual plan to show your predicted results at a glance. By viewing the results beforehand, you can plan for any potential problems before you start. Any changes that you make in What-if Analysis are applied only for simulation purposes until you use the option "Apply changes" to the actual plan. The "Apply changes" option is available only in a distributed environment. In a z/OS environment, changes you make are for simulation purposes only.
