Checklist for installing Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS
This section contains a checklist to guide you through the installation tasks for a tracker, a controller, a standby controller, or the ISPF dialogs.
In the checklist, the task numbers are arranged in a recommended order but are not meant to imply a required order. You perform the tasks suited to your own configuration.
The Applies to column indicates for which Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS address space you should perform that particular task. You might not need to perform every task outlined in the list. Skip those tasks or actions that do not apply to your installation.
A check mark (X) in the IPL column means that an IPL of the z/OS system is needed for the change to take effect. It does not indicate how many IPLs are needed. You can install Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS with only one IPL of the z/OS system by performing all the required steps before a scheduled IPL.
The Page column indicates the page in this guide where the task is described.
Task | Description | Applies to | IPL | Page |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Load tracker software.
Perform these actions on each system in your Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS configuration:
|
Tracker | Step 1. Loading tracker software | |
2 | Load controller software.
Perform these actions on each system where you are installing a controller, standby controller, or dialogs:
|
Controller Standby controller Dialogs |
Step 2. Loading controller software | |
3 | Load national
language support (NLS) software for the controller.
Perform these actions on each system where you are installing a controller standby controller, or dialogs:
|

Step 3. Loading national language support software | |
4 | Run the EQQJOBS
installation aid.
You can run EQQJOBS as soon as the tracker software is loaded. It helps you install Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS:
|
Tracker controller Standby controller Dialogs |
Setting up the EQQJOBS installation aid | |
5 | Add SMF and
JES event tracking exits.
Perform this task on every z/OS system in your Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS configuration. Note:
If you place exits
in a link-pack-area (LPA) library, you must perform an IPL of the z/OS system
with the CLPA option. |
Tracker | X | Step 5. Adding SMF and JES exits for event tracking |
6 | Update SYS1.PARMLIB.
On each system where you are installing the product, perform the actions that are applicable to your installation:
|
Tracker controller Standby controller Dialogs |
X | Step 6. Updating SYS1.PARMLIB |
7 | Set up the RACF® environment.
Perform these actions on each system in your Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS configuration:
|
Tracker controller Standby controller Dialogs |
X | Step 7. Setting up the RACF environment |
At this point, if you placed exit modules in LPA, you can IPL with CLPA. No other options for Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS require an IPL. | ||||
8 | Set up the SSL environment
Perform these actions to activate a secure communication in a TCP/IP network:
|
Tracker controller Standby controller Data Store server User address space |
Step 8. Securing communications | |
9 | Allocate data
sets.
Perform these actions if you are installing a tracker or a controller:
|

Step 12. Creating the DB2 database | |
If you are not using NCF, XCF, or TCP/IP connections you can now start a tracker and continue with the verification task. | ||||
13 | Set up the
ISPF environment.
Perform these actions on the system where you are installing the ISPF dialogs.
|
Dialogs | Step 13. Setting up the ISPF environment | |
If you are not using NCF, XCF, or TCP/IP connections, the API or server, you can now start a controller and continue with the verification task. | ||||
14 | Using XCF
for local communications.
Even if you have already specified XCF initialization statements in Task 12 and updated the COUPLEnn member in Task 7, consider these actions if you use XCF:
|
Tracker controller Standby controller |
Step 14. Using XCF for communication | |
15 | Activate NCF
for VTAM connections.
Perform these actions for each address space that is connected through NCF. Ensure that a standby controller has the same tracker connections as the controller and that each tracker can connect to all standby controllers:
