When you have completed your testing of HCL Workload Automation for Z and have performed data set migration, ensure that the following data sets are empty before you start the product for the first time in production:
EQQACPDS

EQQCPnDS, EQQXDnDS, EQQCXDS, and EQQSCPDS do not have to be empty, but they can be. When the product is started for the first time, you must specify CURRPLAN(NEW) on the JTOPTS statement. Therefore, any data in the EQQCPnDS and EQQCXDS data sets will immediately be replaced by the contents of EQQNCPDS and EQQNCXDS. Similarly, the inactive EQQJSnDS data set (EQQJS2DS in this example) does not have to be empty, although it can be.
