Course description
This 3-day course introduces IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler 8.5 features, environment, and terminology.
You will learn about the new features in Tivoli Workload Scheduler 8.5 and how to use the IBM Tivoli Dynamic Workload Console to manage Tivoli Workload Scheduler. You will learn how to plan, implement, monitor, and manage Tivoli Workload Scheduler objects to create a production day plan.
