How Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS manages recovery of the current plan

The scheduler automatically backs up the current plan. Depending on your workload, the current plan might be updated many times per second. For this reason, and because the current plan is a critical resource, the scheduler handles it in a different way from the other databases and data sets. With the introduction of fault-tolerant workstations, a new file, called Symphony™, can be produced during the daily-plan batch job runs. Recovering the current-plan from an error situation may imply recovering also the Symphony file. For more information about the current-plan back-up process and the Symphony file refer to Managing the Workload.
