Which workstation types are needed?

Although you must create at least one workstation to enable HCL Workload Automation for Z to run, you do not need all workstation types. Create the workstation types that fit the workload that runs at your installation. For example, if certain operations are dependent on the completion of prints produced by other operations, use a printer workstation. However, if the production of prints does not have any great impact on the running of the rest of your workload, you probably do not require a printer workstation.

Because the main function of HCL Workload Automation for Z is to control jobs and started tasks, at least two computer workstations will probably be required at any installation running HCL Workload Automation for Z: one for jobs and one for started tasks.

Use a remote engine workstation if you need to define dependencies from jobs running on a differentHCL Workload Automation environment to accomplish your tasks.
