Checking dialog functions

Before invoking the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog, ensure that you have set up the ISPF environment as described in Step 13. Setting up the ISPF environment. Then invoke the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS dialog, and select an option from 0 to 10 on the main menu. If a new panel appears, you have established communication with the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS subsystem. You can further test the dialogs by performing functions, such as creating an application description. See Tivoli® Workload Scheduler for z/OS®: Managing the Workload for more information on specific dialog functions.

If you have used RACF® to protect controller resources from unauthorized access, verify that the protection mechanism works as expected.
