The following steps are required to use scheduling environments:
- You must define one or more scheduling environments, and all of
the resource names and required states that are listed in those scheduling
environments, in the workload management service
definition. See Specifying scheduling environments to workload management.
- For every system in the sysplex on which you want the resource
settings to satisfy either ON or OFF requirements, you must set the
individual resource states to either ON or OFF, as appropriate. There
is also a third setting, RESET, that satisfies neither an ON nor OFF
requirement. See Managing resource states for more
information on the RESET state.
- For each unit of work with resource state requirements that is
submitted for execution, you must specify the name of the scheduling
environment that should be used to determine which systems can execute
that work. See Associating scheduling environments with incoming work.
