Invoking the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog

The following section outlines ways of invoking the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog.

Using the EQQOPCAC sample CLIST

You can invoke the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog by using the sample CLIST EQQOPCAC. When you run the sample CLIST in TSO READY mode, EQQOPCAC allocates the dialog data sets and invokes ISPF with the initial master panel EQQ@MSTR. The EQQ@MSTR panel, which is in the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS panel library, lets you select the applications ISPF/PDF or Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS.

Modifying an existing ISPF selection menu

You can invoke the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog by including Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS as an option on your existing ISPF master application menu, or on any other selection menu. The following example shows how to do this. The statements that you insert are marked on the right with an arrow (<====).

Before you can invoke the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog, allocate the data sets. You can allocate these data sets through the TSO logon procedure, or by running a CLIST after TSO logon.

Although you can use any name that follows the guidelines already established at your installation, the sample ISPF command table, EQQACMDS, is valid only if you use the ISPF application name EQQA. If you change the application name on the ISPSTART command, remember to create the corresponding ISPF command table in the table library.

Selecting the main menu directly from TSO

You can invoke the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog by selecting the main menu directly from TSO. You do this from TSO by entering this TSO command:

/*Invoking the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog directly from TSO*/
ISPSTART PANEL(EQQOPCAP) NEWAPPL(EQQA)

Using this method to invoke the dialog means that the main menu, panel EQQOPCAP, is the first ISPF panel displayed. If you enter the ISPF command SPLIT, EQQOPCAP is displayed on the alternate screen. With this method, you cannot use ISPF/PDF and Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialogs at the same time. This method is therefore suitable for users who require only Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS.

Using the ISPF select service

You can invoke the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog by using the SELECT command from a CLIST or from a program. See your ISPF publications to review these procedures.

Switching to the advanced style for ISPF panels

|

To use the advanced style for ISPF panels, you need to specify Y in |the 0.8 option, SETTING PANEL STYLE. The advanced ISPF panels enable |you to get a quick, at-a-glance scrollable view of the AD and CP operations, |with color-coded fields that represent application and operation status, |as well as the addition of an Action menu from where you can select |administrative tasks to perform. They are provided for the AD application |to enable you to list and browse a single AD and also for the CP operation |to list and browse a single operation in the plan. All of the commands |available for an operation in the current plan are concentrated in |the new operation list panel (EQQSOPRV, EQQMOPRV).
