Using the Scheduling Environment Services

A scheduling environment is a list of resource requirements and their required states. It allows you to manage the scheduling of work in an asymmetric sysplex where the systems differ in installed applications or installed hardware facilities. If an MVS™ image satisfies all of the requirements in the scheduling environment associated with a given unit of work, then that unit of work can be assigned to that MVS image. If any of the resource requirements are not satisfied, then that unit of work cannot be assigned to that MVS image. See z/OS MVS Planning: Workload Management for information on using the WLM application to define scheduling environments.
