The following features were provided with HCL Workload Automation for Z Version 10.2 Fix Pack 3 (APAR HC00010).

Specifying matching criteria for a z/OS shadow job to bind a z/OS remote job
When you define a z/OS shadow job to bind a job instance scheduled on another Z controller, the search for the remote job can be made dependent from any of the following matching criteria:
  • Closest preceding
  • Same scheduled date
  • Within a relative interval
  • Within an absolute interval

For detailed information, see How a z/OS shadow job is bound with a remote job instance and watch this video on the Workload Automation YouTube channel.

From the Orchestration Monitor you can set the status of jobs and workstations
From the Orchestration Monitor, the Set Status action now provides more administrative control and flexibility by enabling you to modify the status of jobs and workstations.

CPBPLIM should not be allowed to exceed 50% and all deps nesting level default should be less than 99
To help you set the percentage of CP buffer pool size in the OPCOPTS CPBPLIM and CPDTLIM parameters, you are now provided with relevant information by message EQQN259I.

A new field for occurrences with the original ADID
With the Workload Automation Programming Language you can list the occurrences that were cloned from the AD database into the current plan, based on their original application ID, by specifying the TMPLADID argument in the LIST CPOC request. For details, see LIST CPOC – Current Plan Occurrence.
Add the JES job number and/or the JOBID to message EQQ8006I
Message EQQ8006I now also provides you with the job ID.
