Checking dialog functions

Before invoking the HCL Workload Automation for Z dialog, ensure that you have set up the ISPF environment as described in The ISPF environment. Then invoke the HCL Workload Automation for Z dialog, and select an option from 0 to 10 on the main menu. If a new panel appears, you have established communication with the HCL Workload Automation for Z subsystem. You can further test the dialogs by performing functions, such as creating an application description. For more information on specific dialog functions, see Managing the Workload.

If you have used RACF® to protect Z controller resources from unauthorized access, verify that the protection mechanism works as expected.
