Verifying workload submission

Now verify that Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS can submit work and that the work is sent to the correct destination.

Controlling system

You can use this procedure for the controlling system:

1. Create a workstation description, leave the destination field blank. This means that operations will be submitted to the system where the controller is started.
2. Create an application description. Define at least one operation on the workstation you have created. Submit a daily planning extend or replan batch job to include the new workstation in the current plan.

   Add an occurrence of this application to the current plan.

3. Verify that the operations run successfully on this system and that they are reported as complete in the current plan.
4. Check that submit events are created in the event data set for the controlling system (see Verifying job submission).

Controlled systems

If you have controlled Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS systems in your configuration, you can use this procedure to check that work is sent to these destinations, that it is submitted, and that events are returned to the controller:

1. Create a workstation description for each destination. In the destination field, remember to specify the submit/release data set name, the XCF member name of the tracker, the tracker VTAM® application ID, or the tracker TCP/IP destination name, depending on the connection. Ensure that the trackers are active.
2. Add an application occurrence to the current plan with operations defined on each of the workstations.
3. Verify that the operations run successfully on the correct system and that they are reported as complete in the current plan.
4. Check that submit events are created in the event data set for each controlled system (see Verifying job submission).

If your configuration includes a MAS complex, you can specify only one workstation description to represent all systems in the complex. If this is the case, ensure that a job is run on each system in the complex. Verify that events are received at the controller by checking that the operations are reported as complete in the current plan.
