Advantages of OCL

Some of the main advantages of using OCL are as follows:

• It further automates the scheduling process.
• It increases the usability of the PIF.
• It offers more flexibility for managing the workload.
• It facilitates migration from non-IBM scheduling products to IBM Z Workload Scheduler.
• It increases the number of recovery actions offered by the Automatic Job Recovery (AJR) function of the scheduler: the OCL instructions could be executed as part of the recovery actions.
