Job library data set (EQQJBLIB)

The job library data set contains the JCL for the jobs and started tasks that HCL Workload Automation for Z will submit. It is required by a controller. If you already have a job library that you will use for HCL Workload Automation for Z purposes, specify this data set on the EQQJBLIB statement. If not, allocate one before you start the controller.

Note: Allocate the job library data set with a only primary space allocation. If a secondary allocation is defined and the library goes into an extent when HCL Workload Automation for Z is active, you must stop and restart the controller. Also, do not compress members in this PDS. For example, do not use the ISPF PACK ON command, because HCL Workload Automation for Z does not use ISPF services to read it.

The limitation of allocating the job library data set with only a primary space allocation is nota applicable for PDSE data sets.

Note: Each member in the EQQJBLIB must contain one job stream (only one job card), and the job name on the job card must match the job name in the HCL Workload Automation for Z scheduled operation.
