Customization considerations
HCL Workload Automation for Z is designed as a general-purpose workload automation subsystem. As such, it might not meet all the requirements for your specific installation. IBM® allows installations to implement installation exits and provides many callable services that can be used to supplement HCL Workload Automation for Z processing.
Carefully examine any customization that your site has installed. Determine whether the function is now provided in the product or if you need to modify the logic based on changes made to HCL Workload Automation for Z.
When new functions are added to HCL Workload Automation for Z,
installation exits and macros used within installation exits can change.
New installation exits or macros might also be introduced in an HCL Workload Automation for Z release.
If a release provides a new installation exit, determine if your installation
needs to implement the exit. A release can change an existing exit
by modifying:
- What the installation exit expects on entry.
- Return codes HCL Workload Automation for Z expects when the exit returns control to HCL Workload Automation for Z.
- The function that the installation exit performs.
- The processing that is performed before or after the exit.
