Defining Tivoli Workload Scheduler to SA z/OS

The Tivoli Workload Scheduler Installation manual insists that each TWS subsystem in a sysplex is uniquely named.

Detailed instructions for defining this configuration can be found in IBM Z® System Automation Defining Automation Policy.

SA z/OS supplies a sample policy, *ZWS, that provides best practice definitions for running TWS Automation.

Diagrams of the sample policies are provided as PDF files that are located in the SA z/OS Wiki.

Tivoli Workload Scheduler consists of a number of MVS and non-MVS subsystems that need to be defined to SA z/OS. These are:

  1. The TWS Controller
  2. The TWS Tracker
  3. The TWS Server
  4. The TWS Data Store
  5. The SA z/OS Batch Job Command Receiver
  6. The SA z/OS Request Receiver
  7. The SA z/OS Status Observer
