Checking dialog functions

Before invoking the HCL Workload Automation for Z dialog, ensure that you have set up the ISPF environment as described in The ISPF environment. Then invoke the HCL Workload Automation for Z dialog, and select an option from 0 to 10 on the main menu. If a new panel appears, you have established communication with the HCL Workload Automation for Z subsystem. You can further test the dialogs by performing functions, such as creating an application description. For more information on specific dialog functions, see HCL Workload Automation for Z: Managing the Workload.

If you have used RACF® to protect controller resources from unauthorized access, verify that the protection mechanism works as expected.
