Monitoring the workload

All operations in the current plan are associated with a workstation. To monitor your workload, you can use:

ISPF panels to display the operations. For an overall view, you use the QUERY CURRENT PLAN panel (for a description of this panel, see The QCP panel). However, if you want to find out which operations are due to start or are already started at a workstation, use the workstation ready list.
The Dynamic Workload Console. For detailed information, see Monitoring your environment.
