Specifying workstation availability
Some workstations are not available 24 hours every day; HCL Workload Automation for Z can run work on the workstation only when it is available. When it is unavailable, either as scheduled or unexpectedly, HCL Workload Automation for Z can reroute work to an alternate workstation.
To be available for work, a workstation must be open, active, and connected. To specify when a workstation is available for processing, enter the A command on the CREATING GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT A WORKSTATION panel (EQQWCGEP - Creating general information about a workstation). This panel is displayed:
EQQWMAVL -------------- AVAILABILITY OF A WORK STATION ------ ROW 1 TO 8 Command ===> Scroll ===> Work station : CPU1 Main JES processor Enter the ALL command above to get all open time intervals or change data in the rows, and/or enter any of the following row commands: I(nn) - Insert, R(nn),RR(nn) - Repeat, D(nn),DD - Delete C - Close a day/date, S - Define open intervals for a day/date Row Day of week or Status Description of day cmd YY/MM/DD '' STANDARD______ DEFINED ________________________ '' MONDAY________ STANDARD ________________________ '' TUESDAY_______ STANDARD ________________________ '' WEDNESDAY_____ STANDARD ________________________ '' THURSDAY______ STANDARD ________________________ '' FRIDAY________ STANDARD ________________________ c'' SATURDAY______ STANDARD ________________________ '' SUNDAY________ STANDARD ________________________ ******************************* BOTTOM OF DATA **************************
In EQQWMAVL - Availability of a workstation, one open interval, called STANDARD, is created, and all days use this interval. To close the workstation on Saturday, enter the C command beside this row, as shown.
If you enter the S row command on a row that refers to the STANDARD interval (such as TUESDAY in EQQWMAVL - Availability of a workstation), the OPEN TIME INTERVALS FOR ONE DAY panel, shown in EQQWMOTL - Open time intervals for one day, is displayed.

If you press F3 (Exit) in this panel without specifying an open interval, the workstation will be closed for that day. Use F12 (Cancel) to leave the day connected to the STANDARD interval.
