Creating job stream definitions

How to define a new job stream definitions using the Dynamic Workload Console.

Optionally, you can quickly submit the job stream into the current plan to be run immediately. You might want to do this for testing purposes before implementing the job stream in large-scale production. See Quick submit of jobs and job streams.
