Specifying z-centric agent workstations

You define HCL Workload Automation Agent (z-centric) workstations when you want to schedule jobs on non-z/OS systems using HCL Workload Automation distributed agents. In HCL Workload Automation for Z, z-centric agent workstations are computer automatic workstations configured to schedule jobs on distributed agents that run on Windows™, UNIX™, or Linux™.

Settings for z-centric agent workstations summarizes the settings for a z-centric agent:

Table 1. Settings for z-centric agent workstations
Field	Value	Value Description
Workstation type	C	Computer
Reporting attribute	A	Automatic
Started task, STC	N	No
Server usage	N	Neither
Destination	Alphanumerical string of up to 8 characters	The destination name that was defined with the HTTP parameter in the ROUTOPTS statement. You can add, modify, or delete the destinations. For details, see the description of the ROUTOPTS statement in HCL Workload Automation for Z: Customization and Tuning.
Job user (JOBUSR)	Alphanumerical string of up to 47 characters	For J2EE jobs, the WebSphere® Application Server administrator. For all the other jobs, the name of the user submitting the job. If the user schedules jobs to run on Windows™ workstations, ensure that a user password is also defined. If you are defining a Windows™ domain user, use the following format: `JOBUSR(domainName\user1)` It can be overwritten by the user specified either through EQQUX001 or in a JOBREC statement in the job JCL.
Job password (JOBPWD)	Y, N, or A	Specifies if the user name entered in JOBUSR or set by using the job-submit exit EQQUX001 is associated with a password. If you set JOBPWD to `Y`, HCL Workload Automation for Z searches for the user password in the USRPSW keyword of the USRREC statement. For details, see the description of the USRREC statement in HCL Workload Automation for Z: Scheduling End-to-end with z-centric Capabilities. If you set JOBPWD to `A`, this means that the password is resolved locally on the agent. The password must have been defined on the agent by means of the `param` command. For details, see the description of the `param` command in HCL Workload Automation for Z: Scheduling End-to-end with z-centric Capabilities Typically, the password is required for users who schedule jobs to run on Windows™ workstations. Set JOBPWD to `N` if the user works with UNIX™ workstations and does not run job types with advanced options (only native job types). Valid values are `Y`, `N`, or `A`. The default is `Y`. It can be overwritten by the user specified in a JOBREC statement in the job JCL.
Job type (JOBTYPE)		The type of job to be run. Supported job types are: native database file transfer web service java xajob j2ee jms It can be overwritten by the user specified in a JOBREC statement in the job JCL. For information about supported job types, see the description of the JOBREC statement in HCL Workload Automation for Z: Scheduling End-to-end with z-centric Capabilities
