Defining jobs outside of EQQJBLIB and job-library-read exit (EQQUX002)
Typically, you define jobs in the concatenated libraries referenced by EQQJBLIB or with the job-library-read exit (EQQUX002). To define operations whose jobs are located outside of both EQQJBLIB and EQQUX002, you are now provided with the JOBLIBRARY user field. By setting this user field, HCL Workload Automation for Z dynamically allocates the specified library when required.
Enhanced Run Cycle Preview of the Dynamic Workload Console
Higher level of details and user control; new design, accessible calendars and colors; better user experience - ???????????

The new Run Cycle Preview is available for job streams and run cycle groups, showing you the instances generated on a full year basis.

A higher level of details is provided:
  • By hovering over a day, you are shown a tool tip about the included or excluded instances (?????).
  • By clicking a day, you are shown more detailed information about the run cycles occurring.
From the preview shown about a job stream, you can create new instances by adding a run cycle or modify the existing ones.
Provide EXECUTE command for WTO workstations (RFE ZWS-I-95)
You can now issue an Execute command on a WTO general workstation, even if the job submission is deactivated on the Z controller.
