Job setup general workstations

A job setup general workstation has the JOB SETUP option in the panel shown in EQQWCGEP - Creating general information about a workstation set to Y. The job setup workstation lets you prepare your job or started-task JCL manually before execution. Any variables in your JCL are resolved either automatically from information in the HCL Workload Automation for Z databases or manually using the panels. You do not need a job setup workstation if HCL Workload Automation for Z can resolve all the variables automatically.

To select an operation for setup, specify N (set next logical status) next to the job setup operation on the ready list.

In HCL Workload Automation for Z, the job setup operation must be an immediate predecessor of the computer workstation operation for the job. When you have prepared the job, the job operation can be started if it is not waiting for other predecessors.

If the setup operation has more than one succeeding processor operation with the same job name, HCL Workload Automation for Z displays a list of the operations that you can choose from.
