Step 19. Activating support for end-to-end scheduling with z-centric capabilities

To schedule jobs on HCL Workload Automation distributed z-centric agents, activate the end-to-end scheduling with z-centric capabilities. Follow these steps:

1. Define the z-centric agent destinations in the ROUTOPTS initialization statement.
2. Customize the connection parameters in the HTTPOPTS initialization statement.
   Note: Use this statement to activate or disable the SSL connection protocol . If you want to disable the SSL connection, you can either:

   • Specify neither SSLKEYRING nor SSLPORT keywords.
   • Specify SSLPORT(0).
3. Configure the Z controller to enable the submission of jobs on z-centric and dynamic agents, as described in Enabling jobs submission on z-centric and dynamic agents.
4. Optionally, activate the output collector started task to retrieve job logs and copy them to a JES SYSOUT for processing by an external output management product. Customize the HTTPOPTS (OUTPUTCOLLECTOR and JLOGHDRTEMPL keywords), OPCOPTS (OUTCOL keyword), and OUCOPTS initialization statements.
