IBM Workload Scheduler user interfaces
- Single Entry Point
- Single Entry Point is a web-based page to access all the IBM Workload Scheduler user interfaces:
- Dynamic Workload Console
- Self Service UIs (Self-Service Catalog and Self-Service Dashboards)
Single Entry Point is a role-based interface that you can access from any computer in your environment by using a web browser through the secure HTTPS.
Single Entry Point provides quick links to the most important Dynamic Workload Console tasks: connect your engines, design your workload, monitor your workload, and dashboard. With Single Entry Point you can access the mobile applications, the Self-Service Catalog and the Self-Service Dashboards, through the link or the Qrcode.
- Dynamic Workload Console
- A
Web-based user interface available for viewing and controlling scheduling
activities in production on both the IBM Workload Scheduler distributed
and z/OS environments. With the Dynamic Workload Console you
can use any supported browser to access the IBM Workload Scheduler environment
from any location in your network. You can use the Dynamic Workload Console to:
- Define scheduling objects in the IBM Workload Scheduler database
- Browse and manage scheduling objects involved in current plan activities
- Create and control connections to IBM Workload Scheduler environments
- Submit jobs and job streams in production
- Set user preferences
- Create and manage event rules
- Define and manage mission-critical jobs
Dynamic Workload Console must be installed on a server that can reach the IBM Workload Scheduler nodes using network connections. See the IBM Workload Scheduler: Planning and Installation for information.
- composer
- A command-line program used to define and manage scheduling objects in the database. This interface program and its use are described in Defining scheduling objects and Managing objects in the database - composer.
- conman
- A command-line program used to monitor and control the IBM Workload Scheduler production plan processing. This interface program is described in Managing objects in the plan - conman.
- Java™ API and plug-ins
- A set of available classes and methods running in a JAVA environment that you use to create your custom interface to manage scheduling objects in the database and in the plan. This API cannot be used to create your custom interface to set global options. In addition, you can use and modify a set of plug-ins that perform specific tasks, or create your own plug-ins. The API is available through a Software Development Kit, which is part of the product. For more information and to learn how to access the documentation of the API and plug-ins, refer to Developer's Guide: Extending IBM Workload Automation.
- optman
- A command-line program used to manage the settings that affect the entire IBM Workload Scheduler environment. These settings, also called global options, are stored in the database. This interface program is described in Setting global options.
- planman
- A command-line program used to manage the IBM Workload Scheduler planning capability. This interface program is described in Planman command line.
You must install the IBM Workload Scheduler Command Line Client feature on fault-tolerant agents and systems outside the IBM Workload Scheduler network to use the composer and optman command-line programs and to run planman showinfo and planman unlock commands.
For information on how to set the options needed to allow a user to access the command-line interfaces, refer to Setting up options for using the user interfaces.
