Overview

You can use IBM® Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS to plan, control, and automate the entire production workload in your complex, not just the z/OS® batch subset. It automatically plans, controls, and monitors your production workload to maximize the throughput and optimize resource use, but lets you intervene manually when required. If you are currently using previously supported versions, follow the instructions in Migrating.

This chapter introduces Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS and its implementation. Later chapters in Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OSdescribe the installation and migration tasks in greater detail.

If you are not familiar with Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS terminology or functions, read the Tivoli® Workload Automation: Overview.
