Dynamically copying resources from the database

These are some cases where a resource is dynamically copied to the current plan:
  • An SRSTAT command refers to a resource that is not in the plan. The details (including interval data) are copied to the current plan. HCL Workload Automation for Z ignores the CREATE keyword on the SRSTAT command, and the DYNAMICADD keyword on the RESOPTS initialization statement.
  • You add an occurrence to the current plan using the MCP panel. One of the operations in the occurrence references the resource. HCL Workload Automation for Z ignores the DYNAMICADD keyword on the RESOPTS initialization statement. The details (including interval data) are copied to the current plan. This happens as soon as the occurrence is added; HCL Workload Automation for Z does not wait until it starts the operation.

HCL Workload Automation for Z always creates a resource in the plan if it is in the database but was not added during daily planning. Resources are only added during daily planning if there is an operation in the plan that references the resource. When you refer to the resource during the life of the plan, HCL Workload Automation for Z adds the resource from the database.
