  3. Specify the Application ID (for details, see Specifying the application ID) and, optionally, specify a description of the application (up to 24 characters) in the TEXT field.
  4. Specify A or G in the TYPE field and a group definition ID in the GROUP DEFINITION field as required, according to the table in How to use the RUN and OPER commands and the GROUP DEFINITION field.
    Table 1. How to use the RUN and OPER commands and the GROUP DEFINITION field
    If you are creating RUN commandOPER commandGroup Definition field
    A group definition   TYPE = GUse the RUN command if you want to schedule the group definition. Do not use the OPER command to specify operations: specify these when you create the applications in the group.Leave blank. Specify the name of the group in the ID field (Application ID).
    An application that is part of a group   TYPE = ADo not use the RUN command, because HCL Workload Automation for Z uses the run cycles that are part of the group definition.Use the OPER command to specify the operations in the group.Set to the name of the group that this application belongs to.
    An application that stands alone TYPE = AUse the RUN command if you want to schedule the application.Use the OPER command to specify the operations in the application.Leave blank.
    For detailed information about run cycles and the RUN command, see Specifying when your application should be scheduled.
    For detailed information about operations and the OPER command, see Monthly run cycle examples.
  5. Specify the name of the application owner (1-16 characters) in the Owner ID field and, optionally, a description of the application owner (up to 24 characters) in the Owner TEXT field.
