Creating broker workstations

Create broker workstations using the ISPF panels and the Dynamic Workload Console.

You can use broker workstations to submit jobs by reference, as explained in Submitting jobs by reference. To define a broker workstation, perform the following steps:

Define a broker workstation as a computer automatic workstation, as described in EQQWCGEP - Creating general information about a broker workstation and enter the destination name previously defined in the ROUTOPTS statement. The DYNAMIC option excludes all other options.
