Step 19. Activating support for the end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities

To schedule jobs on Tivoli Workload Scheduler distributed fault-tolerant agents, activate the end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities. Follow these steps:

  1. Run EQQJOBS and specify Y for the END-TO-END WITH FAULT TOLERANCE feature.
  2. Allocate the data set running the generated EQQPCS06 sample.
  3. Create and customize the work directory by running the generated EQQPCS05 sample.
  4. Define CPU configuration and domain organization by using the CPUREC and DOMREC statements in a PARMLIB member (the default member name is TPLGINFO).
  5. Define Windows user IDs and passwords by using the USRREC statement in a PARMLIB member (the default member name is USRINFO). To encrypt the passwords, run the EQQE2EPW JCL contained in the sample EQQBENCR JCL generated by EQQJOBS.

    If you do not want to set the password through the USRREC statement (either in plaintext or encrypted), define the user and password locally on the Windows workstation by using the users utility, and set LOCALPSW=YES in the TOPOLOGY statement. For detailed information about the users script, see the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS: End-to-end Scheduling with Fault Tolerance Capabilities manual.

  6. Define the end-to-end configuration by using the TOPOLOGY statement in a PARMLIB member (the default member name is TPLGPARM). In this statement, specify the following:
    • For the TPLGYMEM keyword, write the name of the member used in step 4.
    • For the USRMEM keyword, write the name of the member used in step 5.
  7. Add the TPLGYSRV keyword to the OPCOPTS statement to specify the server name that will be used for end-to-end communication.
  8. Add the TPLGYPRM keyword to the SERVOPTS statement to specify the member name used in step 6. This step activates end-to-end communication in the Server.
  9. Add the TPLGYPRM keyword to the BATCHOPT statement to specify the member name used in step 6. This step activates the end-to-end scheduling with fault tolerance capabilities feature in the Daily Planning batch programs.
