Setting Alert/Action if an

Copyright © 2019 HCL Products & Platforms | www.hcltech.comSimplified Workload Handling: Date and time Alert and Action
RFE 78332, RFE 78581
• Need a way to define a "Late" time on a job that on its expiration generates alerts
• Need to be able to mark a job complete at a certain day and time if the job is not
completed
• The “Late” attribute must be available for filtered queries
EASE MIGRATION FROM OEM Products
• We need an easy mapping for same functions available in other Workload
Automation products to allow a smooth migration to zWS.
IWSz currently has alerting and “suppress if late” features based on the job latest
start time that is calculated during the daily plan creation but it cannot be
overwritten by a User definition
Simplify late job handling

If the operation has not yet started (Ready or Waiting) within this time setting, an alert is issued and an action taken.
➢ DEFAULT OPERATION DEADLINE ACTION
If the operation does not complete within this time setting, an alert is always issued and, optionally, an action taken.
ACTION:
o A – Only an alert message is issued.
o C – Complete the operation, if its status allows it. Otherwise it is NOPed.
o E – Set to Error, if its status allows it. Otherwise it is ignored.
o N – Operation and all its internal successors are NOPed, if the status allows it. Otherwise it is ignored.
Note: These setting is effective only if you set NOTSTARTCOMP(YES) in the JTOPTS initialization statement.

REST API are affected by infrastructure change (Liberty is the new application
server used by DWC and zConnector)).
A xml template is used to configure Zconnector, no script anymore.
In /usr/servers/dwcServer/configDropins/templates you can find:
• connectionFactory.xml to create, manage and delete engine connection

Known limitation about 9.5 installation:
To maintain the old “user map” mechanism (that included machine hostname in the
user to be mapped), customize the following file (not customized during install):

Optimizing the workload
through a smooth submission
Eliana Cerasaro Ph.
Copyright © 2019 HCL Products & Platforms | www.hcltech.comWorkload Optimization (avoid peaks)
RFE 84048 - Start as late as possible for not critical jobs
• Customers would like to have the possibility to allow non-critical jobs (which are
not defined on the critical path) to be delayed from starting at the beginning of the
batch window, either through an absolute value (user defined) or automatically
evaluated via WLM (depending on the load of the system at the time)
Currently IWSz submits as soon as possible all jobs in the
workload: This can lead to SYSTEM overload, unnecessary
CPU peeks and job interlock. ...
… Customers got BATCH-delay due to much parallel BATCH.

Copyright © 2018 HCL Products & Platforms | www.hcltech.comCUSTOMIZING OPCOPTS
CDPDB(YES|NO)
Set NO to avoid logging of events related to actions performed in the controller database.
CDPJOBSTATUS(CS|changed operation statuses|NO)
Indicates the changed statuses of an operation that are to be logged. Specify the string including all status
changes you want to log. E.g. CEAR* for complete, error and ready. Valid values are: A,C, E, I, R, S, X, *.
By default, only the statuses changed to C and S are logged.

➢ Application ended in error
➢ Job late (old and new criteria) Can I the add my SURE!
➢ Waiting for special resources favourite ZWS
➢ Failing of MCP update messages

➢ OPSTAT completion code with status C
The TSO command OPSTAT now supports the parameter COMPLCODE. If you are specifying STATUS(C) to set the operation status to Complete, you can optionally specify a
return code for the completed operation. It can be any 4 characters. It can be used in conditional dependencies.
➢ Cross Dependencies AUTOMATIC REBIND
Cross Dependencies - Automatic re-bind when bind information (remote job info or workstation ) are modified in the current plan. A manual BND command was needed before.
➢ JTOPTS supports NOPWAIT(YES/NO)
JTOPTS initialization statement now supports the parameter NOPWAIT(YES | NO). Specify YES if an operation that you are NOPing will be actually NOPed after that time
dependencies and special resources, if any, are resolved. The default is NO, meaning that the operation is NOPed immediately, as it was before RFE.
➢ Batch Loader preserves duration value
If you are replacing an application and the duration parameter (ADOPOLDDUR) is not specified in the ADOP statement, the EQQYLTOP batch program does not override the
original duration otherwise if set to N, duration is overwritten by the new values.
➢ EQQZAIDX redesign to reduce CPU
Ther csect EQQZAIDX is used to provide date and time for variables and related operations calculations. It has been re-written in a more efficient and moderna way to save
