Server address space - EQQSERVR

The HCL Workload Automation for Z server is a z/OS® started task that is implemented by the EQQSERVR load module. To run successfully, this load module must reside in an APF–authorized library. It is link–edited with the AC(1) and AMODE(31) attributes.

The server must run on the same z/OS® system where the served controller is started.

EQQSERVR performs the following tasks:
  • Address space initialization:
    • Set up ESTAE recovery
    • Process initialization file
    • Attach the main server task
  • Address space termination:
    • Detach the main server task
    • Cancel ESTAE recovery
  • Address space recovery:
    • Create diagnostic information
    • Determine the retry routine to be used
    • Return to RTM via SETRP retry

The server job–step task (EQQSERVR) attaches the main server task (EQQPHTOP), and waits for operator commands. All the server processing is performed by the EQQPHTOP and its subtasks.
