Workload Scheduling

CA Workload Automation SE can schedule all activities associated with the production workload. In general, these time-driven and event-driven facilities are used to schedule workstation activities (for example, data entry, production control, mail room) and jobs. However, these same facilities can be used to schedule any definable activity, whether or not that activity is related to the production workload or to job processing.

CA Workload Automation SE also has the ability to track batch jobs and started tasks that are submitted outside of CA Workload Automation SE and data sets created by such jobs. The tracking is selective based on tables that are coded to specify the job names and/or data set names that are to be tracked. This is only available for CPUs that share the Communication data set with CA Workload Automation SE.

CA Workload Automation SE can also schedule workload to systems outside the CA Workload Automation SE system using cross-platform scheduling. These jobs execute on a distributed system, and the completion data is routed back to CA Workload Automation SE so that subsequent work can be brought in. The connections can be either through a CAICCI network or through a TCP/IP network.
