  - HCL Workload Automation for Z version 9.5 enhancements
    HCL Workload Automation for Z version 9.5 includes the following enhancements.
    - Setting alerts or actions if an operation does not start or complete
      In the zos/src_cust/eqqc1jccopts.html#jccopts statement, specify NOTSTARTCOMP(Y) to have an alert issued or an action taken when an operation does not complete or start within its deadline or by the time that you specify.
    - Filtering operations that are late
      From the SELECTING OPERATIONS (EQQSOPFP) panel, you can browse and modify the operations in the current plan that are late according to the following criteria:
    - Optimizing the workload through a smooth submission of the operations
      In the zos/src_cust/eqqc1jccopts.html#jccopts initialization statement, you can better balance the submission of operations by prioritizing the jobs that are urgent (with priority 9) or that belong to a critical path.
    - Integrating with IBM Common Data Provider for z Systems
      Nowadays, the complexity of data requires an effective way to rapidly understand information and operate on it. Analyzing operational data in near real-time and making it accessible across an enterprise is a major requirement. HCL Workload Automation for Z can now integrate with IBM Common Data Provider for z Systems to collect data that is valuable to you and distribute it to a variety of analytics engines, such as Splunk, IBM Z Operations Analytics, or Elasticsearch.
    - Specifying a return code for a completed operation in OPSTAT
      The TSO command zos/src_man/eqqr1opstat.html#opstat now supports the parameter COMPLCODE, to specify a return code for a completed operation.
    - NOPing operations after that time dependencies and special resources are resolved
      In the zos/src_cust/eqqc1jccopts.html#jccopts statement, you can set the NOPWAIT parameter to specify that an operation that you are NOPing is actually NOPed after that time dependencies and special resources, if any, are resolved.
    - Deploying Dynamic Workload Console and HCL Workload Automation Agent with Docker containers
      The deployment of Dynamic Workload Console and HCL Workload Automation Agent is faster and easier with Docker containers.
    - The Dynamic Workload Console has evolved
      The Dynamic Workload Console has evolved with a new graphical layout, features, and improved functionality.
    - New way to create a dashboard for monitoring
      With the new infrastructure of the Dynamic Workload Console, the way you create the dashboard for your scheduling objects has completely changed and improved.
    - New reporting system
      With Dynamic Workload Console V9.5, the look and feel of the reporting system has renovated and you have the possibility to import the report templates created by using Business Intelligent Report Tool (BIRT), a new reporting system for the Dynamic Workload Console.
    - New EJB Plug-in
      With the EJB plug-in, you can schedule, monitor and control the execution of EJB JAR files.
    - After migrating, old SSX writer queue is copied in the new SSX if the FMIDs are the same
      When you specify BUILDSSX(REBUILD) in zos/src_cust/eqqc1noerror.html#noerror to rebuild the SSX at a new level, the event-writer queue from the old SSX is copied to the new SSX, if the FMIDs are the same. In this way, all the events are kept.

A new sample JCL named EQQICVFY is generated by the EQQJOBS dialog. This sample job verifies that the CP records are not corrupted, and, if they are, repairs the FOPs and LOPs in the CP3C VSAM record.
If you are replacing an application and the duration parameter is not specified in the ADOP statement, the EQQYLTOP batch program does not override the original duration value.
When you modify the remote job information in the current plan, an automatic re-bind of the shadow job is performed.
The DB2 history function is no longer supported. Use the reporting feature to archive historical data. For more information, see Reporting with HCL Workload Automation for Z.
The Workload Automation Programming Language procedure EQQYXJCL is deprecated. To run EQQYXTOP, you are provided with the procedure EQQYXJPX. For more information, see Programming Language for z/OS: User's Guide and Reference.
