Defining jobs

Typically, you define jobs in the concatenated libraries referenced by EQQJBLIB or the job-library-read exit (EQQUX002). To define operations whose jobs are located outside of both EQQJBLIB and EQQUX002, you are provided with the JOBLIBRARY operation user field. If you set this user field, HCL Workload Automation for Z dynamically allocates the specified library when required.
Note: Carefully examine how often you choose to allocate job libraries dynamically, because this might heavily impact the scheduling process.
HCL Workload Automation for Z first attempts to find jobs in the JS file. If no job is found, it keeps searching in the following order:
  • Partitioned data set indicated by the JOBLIBRARY operation user field, if specified. If no job is found, an error message is issued.
  • Job-library-read exit (EQQUX002), if loaded. If no job is found, it searches the EQQJBLIB partitioned data set concatenation.
  • EQQJBLIB partitioned data set concatenation, if the JOBLIBRARY user field and EQQUX002 are not specified.
