Trackers

A tracker must be installed on every z/OS system that you want Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS to control. The tracker on each system writes events to the event data set. A subtask of the tracker, called the event writer performs this function. For the current plan to be updated, the event information must be communicated to, and processed by, the controller. The events are routed to the controller through the connection linking the tracker and the controller, either by an event reader subtask, or by requesting the event writer to queue the events immediately to the data router subtask, when the connected type is not shared DASD.
