Verifying installation of a tracker

When you have completed the installation tasks for a tracker, perform its initial verification. Because connections and submission of work cannot be verified in isolation, you can perform further verification of the tracker after you have installed the controlling system, established connections between IBM Z Workload Scheduler systems, and created a current plan. For a detailed description of these verification tasks, see Verifying configuration.

To initially verify the tracker, perform the following tasks:
  1. Follow the appropriate procedures for the IBM Z Workload Scheduler subsystem that you are installing.
  2. Ensure that you have completed all the necessary installation tasks.
  3. Start the tracker and check the message log (EQQMLOG).
  4. Verify that tracking events are created in the event data set (EQQEVDS).
  5. Perform problem determination for tracking events if events are missing from the event data set.

For TCP/IP connections only, ensure that a valid current plan exists before verifying the tracker.
