JES considerations

The JES type and configuration in your installation has implications on your IBM Z Workload Scheduler configuration.

Consider the following situations in a JES type configuration:
  1. On systems where JES2 is installed, an IBM Z Workload Scheduler Tracker must be installed on each system in the JES2 Multi-Access Spool (MAS) complex.
  2. If you do not install IBM Z Workload Scheduler on all systems in a JES3 complex, ensure that:
    • A tracker is installed on the global.
    • Jobs are submitted, whether by IBM Z Workload Scheduler or outside IBM Z Workload Scheduler, to a system where a tracker is installed. Use the //*MAIN SYSTEM=sysid statement in the JCL, or start job classes used by these jobs only on those systems where a tracker is installed.
    • If you track print operations, output is printed only on those systems where a tracker is installed.
