Overview of verification

When you have installed a tracker, controller, standby controller, or server, start it and perform initial verification procedures. To fully verify Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS, start all the address spaces in your configuration, and create database entries, a long-term plan, and a current plan. This is required to verify job submission and connections between systems, and requires some knowledge of the product. Therefore, verification is divided into two parts:

• Initial verification of individual Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS address spaces.
• Verification of your configuration.

You can therefore perform some verification tasks without needing to know more detailed aspects of Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS. When you are more familiar with the product components and functions, you can perform further testing.

The following topics are described:

• Verifying installation of a tracker
• Verifying installation of a controller and dialogs
• Verifying installation of a standby controller
• Verifying installation of the Restart and Cleanup function
• Verifying configuration

If you are installing a tracker and controller in the same address space, review the initial verification procedures for both a tracker and a controller.
