Business scenario

A large company working in the stock exchange sector plans to use Self-Service Catalog to provide its employees with an easy-to-use application to run routine tasks from their mobile devices, regardless of their location.

From the Dynamic Workload Console, the administrator defines some jobs and job streams to perform operations on the stock exchange market; he defines some job streams to run on distributed engines, and other job streams to run in a z/OS environment. By using the HCL Workload Automation security, the administrator can defines rules that enable the company employees to use the service. For more information about security configuration, see Configuring user authorization (Security file).

From the Self-Service Catalog application, the administrator associates HCL Workload Automation job streams to services and creates tags that contain similar services.

Now, all the employees can easily use their mobile devices to perform routine operations by submitting service requests to HCL Workload Automation, even without knowing anything about engines, jobs, or job streams.
