Submitting and tracking the workload
Managing the Workload contains details of how HCL Workload Automation for Z selects work to be submitted at particular workstations. The following is a summary of the submission and tracking process for operations on a workstation that has a user-defined destination ID:
- When the operation is selected as the next operation to be submitted,
the status is set to
SU. HCL Workload Automation for Z calls EQQUX009 and provides data stored in the EQQJSxDS or EQQJBLIB data sets. The information does not have to be stored in these libraries; the exit could locate the data elsewhere or the data might be stored at the target destination. - EQQUX009 transmits the data to the target destination. A good
return code from the exit will leave the operation in status
SUuntil changed through either the normal HCL Workload Automation for Z tracking routines (if the job is run on z/OS and an event writer and an event data set are present) or through the OPSTAT interface. - If the operation enters a queuing system in the target destination,
this can be reported to HCL Workload Automation for Z through
the OPSTAT command with STATUS(Q). HCL Workload Automation for Z will
set the operation status to
SQ. - When the operation actually starts to execute, this is reported
using the OPSTAT command for STATUS(T). HCL Workload Automation for Z will
set the operation status to
SS. - Termination is reported using the OPSTAT command for STATUS(C), if normal, or STATUS(E), if abnormal.
