Summary:

This IBM Redbooks publication implements a solution that integrates IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler and IBM DB2 Content Manager OnDemand products to provide centralized output processing for job logs (job outputs, message files, and audit files) from IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler and IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS. The solution provides immediate benefit by integrating the job logs into an online, electronic information archive and retrieval system, which is used for quick search and problem resolution purposes. As part of the solution, we cover defining and implementing the required infrastructure, to access these reports from a simple user interface. We also include examples and scenarios for using this solution. We include all scripts that make up this solution so that you will be able customize the solution according to your needs. We anticipate that the solution covered in this book will provide great value for IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler and IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS customers who are planning to deploy a centralized job logging and browsing system. Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.
