Prerequisites

Before using the Dynamic Workload Console, you need to install the console, which also includes the installation of the IBM Z Workload Scheduler connector. The Z connector forms the bridge between the console and IBM Z Workload Scheduler.

To produce a dynamic report that lists the supported operating systems, click Supported operating systems.

After the Dynamic Workload Console installation, you can define a z/OS engine to connect to one IBM Z Workload Scheduler. To add more z/OS engine definitions after the installation process, see Defining a z/OS engine in the Z connector.

The console communicates with the product through the Z connector and the scheduler server by using the TCP/IP protocol. The console needs the server to run as a started task in a separate address space. The server communicates with IBM Z Workload Scheduler and passes the data and return codes back to the Z connector.
