Using this function benefits your scheduling operations personnel by enhancing their ability to meet defined service levels.
  - Customizing your workload using variable tables
    This chapter introduces the concept of variable tables to group global parameters, from now on called variables, to customize your workload.
  - Condition-based workload automation
  - Running event-driven workload automation
  - Defining objects in the database
  - Managing objects in the database - composer

    The command line interface to run jobs or job streams and to interact with HCL Workload Automation.
    - Configuring Orchestration CLI
      The extension for Orchestration CLI is bundled with the product. If required, you can download it as a stand-alone feature also.
    - Running commands from Orchestration CLI
      After you installed and configured the Orchestration CLI, you can run one or a combination of commands to accomplish specific results.
    - Authenticating Orchestration CLI using API Keys
      When you connect to HCL Workload Automation using Orchestration CLI for the first time, you need to authenticate the connection using API Keys.
    - Orchestration CLI commands
      You can use the various command options in Orchestration CLI to achieve specific results. The command options are not case sensitive and you can use either uppercase or lowercase letters.
    - help
      You can use the help command to view the online help or details about the commands that Orchestration CLI supports.
    - version
      You can use the version command to view the version of Orchestration CLI that is installed in your system.

    - Managing multiple config.yaml files
      You can create multiple config.yaml files in the database to run commands on different contexts without changing the default context. The feature permits you to use multiple config.yaml files at the same time.
    - Managing multiple formats
      You can set the format by configuring the config.yaml file or by adding the parameter in model commands.
  - Modifying context parameter temporarily
    You can temporarily modify the parameters in the default config.yaml file when you run a plan, model or plug-in command. This feature permits you to customize the behavior of a specific command without modifying the entire config.yaml file.
  - Monitoring HCL Workload Automation
    Using internal and third-party tools to monitor HCL Workload Automation
  - Extending HCL Workload Automation capabilities
    You can extend HCL Workload Automation capabilities by integrating with third-party products. This integration allows you to easily start HCL Workload Automation jobs on external products, while using HCL Workload Automation scheduling capabilities. HCL Workload Automation also provides jobs that perform everyday operations, such as file transfer and web services, and utility jobs that automate and simplify operations, such as the job stream submission.
  - Managing dynamic scheduling
    This section explains how you can manage dynamic scheduling capabilities in your environment to schedule both existing HCL Workload Automation jobs and job types with advanced options, both those supplied with the product and the additional types implemented through the custom plug-ins.
  - Using utility commands
  - Using utility commands in the dynamic environment
  - Getting reports and statistics
  - Managing time zones
  - Defining access methods for agents
  - Managing internetwork dependencies
  - Applying conditional branching logic
    With HCL Workload Automation you can define jobs to run when and as often as necessary. Sometimes some jobs might have to wait for other jobs to finish successfully before they start. Add even more flexibility to your job flows by choosing which job to run depending on the result of the job status or output of a previous job. Whenever you have conditions that specify whether or not a segment of your job flow should run, then that is a conditional dependency.
