HCL Workload Automation for Z
Welcome to the HCL Workload Automation for Z documentation, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use the product.
- Program Directory
- Dynamic Workload Console Readmes
  For the latest information about a Dynamic Workload Console fix pack, see the appropriate Readme File.
- Planning and Installation
- Customization and Tuning
- Managing the Workload
  You can plan when and how your workload runs and manage it as part of a plan.
- Scheduling End-to-end with z-centric Capabilities
  - About this publication
  - Configuring
  - Customizing the HTTP connections
    The communication between the HCL Workload Automation Agents and the HCL Workload Automation for Z controller is direct, through the HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
  - Defining user IDs and passwords with the USRREC statement
    Use the USRREC initialization statement to define the passwords for the users who need to schedule jobs to run on Windows™ workstations. You do not need to do this if you run native job types on non-Windows workstations.
  - Defining variables and passwords for local resolution
  - Defining and managing HCL Workload Automation Agent workstations in the database
    After defining the destinations of your HCL Workload Automation Agents, you need to define the HCL Workload Automation Agents as HCL Workload Automation for Z computer automatic workstations.
  - Defining and managing dynamic workstations
    When you add dynamic capabilities to your environment, you can schedule your workload dynamically.
  - Setting the security features
  - Defining and managing jobs
    - Defining jobs from the Dynamic Workload Console
      How to define a new job definition using the Dynamic Workload Console.
    - Defining a job in the JOBLIB data set
      You define the jobs to be run on HCL Workload Automation Agent workstations in a job definition member of the JOBLIB data set. In the JOBLIB member, you can either define the job contents or invoke a script or an executable that is stored locally on the HCL Workload Automation Agent workstation.
    - Using variable substitution
      The variable substitution mechanism that is used in HCL Workload Automation for Z native job types works the same way when scheduling jobs on HCL Workload Automation Agents. The variable substitution mechanism changes when you define job types with advanced options, such as Java™ jobs that run a Java class, or file transfer jobs that transfer files to and from a server, to name a few. These types of jobs are created and edited using the Dynamic Workload Console.
    - Defining file dependencies to check for file changes
    - Checking for file changes with filemonitor
    - Promoting critical jobs
      An overview of the mechanism that is behind the promotion of critical jobs, or of their predecessors, running on HCL Workload Automation Agents, including pools and dynamic pools.

About this task

To kill an HCL Workload Automation Agent operation, perform the following steps:

Select option 3 (OPERATIONS) from the Modifying the Current® Plan panel (fast path 5.3).
Specify the list criteria for the operation you want to kill.
You see the Modifying Operations in the Current® Plan panel (EQQMOPRL). This panel lists the operations in the current plan that fulfill the list criteria you specified.
Enter the K (Kill) row command next to the row that lists the operation.

The HCL Workload Automation Agent notifies the controller when the operation is killed.
