Started-task operations

Started-task operations

Started-task operations are created and scheduled like job operations, except that they run on workstations that have the STC option.

The procedure that will be used to invoke the started task is specified in the JOB NAME field for the operation. The JCL for the started task is stored like the JCL for jobs (see Job statements and computer workstation operations). Instead of the JCL being submitted to the internal reader on the destination system, however, it is temporarily placed in the JES procedure library that is allocated to the EQQSTC ddname in the HCL Workload Automation for Z procedure, and a START command is issued to invoke it. For details about the required procedure libraries, see Planning and Installation.
