Submitting jobs to pools or dynamic pools

About this task

To submit jobs to a pool or dynamic pool, perform the following steps:

Define a JOBREC statement using the appropriate syntax, as explained in Defining a job in the JOBLIB data set. Alternatively, you can create the job from the Dynamic Workload Console.
Submit the JOBREC statement to the workstation defined in Creating pools and dynamic pools. The job is submitted to the workstation you specified. HCL Workload Automation dynamically assigns the job to the best available resource.
