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:

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

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.
