Who should read this publication

This publication is intended for system programmers, security administrators, and other personnel who install, customize, or tune IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS.

To use this publication effectively, you need a working knowledge of z/OS and JES concepts and facilities. You should be familiar with the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF), the Interactive System Productivity Facility/Program Development Facility (ISPF/PDF), and the Time-Sharing Option (TSO). A good working knowledge of Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) is desirable but not essential.

To implement security, you must know the Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) or a similar product. To implement IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS exits or subroutines, you must know job control language (JCL) and have a good working knowledge of a programming language, for example, assembler or PL/I. You can use programming languages that support OS/390® linkage conventions and that can load and delete an assembler program.
