        Integration with HCL Workload Automation
      - Subtasks
        An HCL Workload Automation for Z address space (subsystem) consists of many z/OS subtasks. Some of these subtasks are always attached when the subsystem is started, others are conditionally attached according to initialization parameters specified for the scheduler options (OPCOPTS) statement in the HCL Workload Automation for Z parameter library.

Controlling system

About this task

A controlling system requires both a tracker and a controller. If you install only one system, this is the controlling system. The controlling system can communicate with controlled z/OS® systems using shared DASD, the cross-system coupling facility (XCF), network communication function (NCF) , and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
