Verifying workload submission

Now verify that HCL Workload Automation for Z can submit work and that the work is sent to the correct destination.

  2. Create an application description. Define at least one operation on the workstation you have created. Submit a daily planning extend or replan batch job to include the new workstation in the current plan.

    Add an occurrence of this application to the current plan.

  3. Verify that the operations run successfully on this system and that they are reported as complete in the current plan.
  4. Check that submit events are created in the event data set for the controlling system (for details, see Verifying job submission).
