Class TWS7 Details: TWS E2E for Schedulers

Go to IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler Classes Overview

Executive Summary

An experience-intensive course for technical staff assigned the responsibility of planning, creating and documenting batch scheduling objects for TWS End to End environments. This course provides OPC and TWS for z/OS schedulers with the knowledge they need to effectively manage distributed jobs along with the z/OS jobs in their TWS E2E scheduling network. Learn how to perform all tasks necessary for responding to user requests to create and modify jobs, job streams and associated properties. Acquire customization skills to modify the job recovery behavior of Workload Scheduler. Learn how to use the command line interface to view job and job stream properties, and to create scheduling objects.
