Workstation destination

The various physical and logical locations where tasks are performed at your installation are represented in HCL Workload Automation for Z by workstations. Each workstation groups related activities. Every operation in the application description database and the current plan is associated with a workstation. You define workstations in the workstation description database.

The destination field is one attribute of a workstation description. It identifies the system in your configuration to which the operations scheduled for this workstation should be submitted. The field can contain an XCF member name, a VTAM LU name, an IP address or host name and port, or a user-defined destination.

If the destination field is not blank, the same name must also be present in the SNA, TCPIP, USER, XCF, HTTP, or HTTPS keyword of the ROUTOPTS statement, depending on the connection method.

The destination field can also remain blank. A blank destination field means that operations at this workstation will be submitted by the Z controller.

The operation-initiation exit, EQQUX009, manages the routing of the workload to user-defined destinations.
