Open Systems Integration

You can use the controller to provide a single, consistent, control point for submitting and tracking the workload on any operating environment. HCL Workload Automation for Z provides open interfaces to enable you to integrate the planning, scheduling, and control of units of work such as online transactions, file transfers, or batch processing in any operating environment that can establish communication with z/OS.

This chapter describes how you can use HCL Workload Automation for Z to control the workload in operating environments that do not support a tracker, through the operation-initiation exit, EQQUX009. Also, an example is provided of an alternate method for controlling VM processing.
