Basic server configuration example

This section gives an example of a basic server configuration of Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS. Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS connects distributed agents to the server via TCP/IP. The controller transmits work to the fault-tolerant workstations via TCP/IP, and the same connection is used to pass event information back. The server is connected to the first level domain managers in the distributed network. TCP/IP is also used to connect the Dynamic Workload Console to the server through the connector. The server connects to the remote interfaces, either Programming Interfaces or remote ISPF interface users, using APPC. The following example shows a simple configuration using mixed protocols and minimal parameter customization.

Graphic showing the configuration of an end-to-end environment with both TCP/IP and APPC connections.

Table 3 shows the initialization statements you can use to create the configuration in Figure 1, using the TCP/IP link for the user application-server communication.
