How does Tidal work as an IBM workload scheduler agent?

The workload scheduler agent in Tidal serves as a delegate of the Tidal Master and is installed on the IBM Z Linux mainframe. Tidal supports variable substitution and routopts for users to define how IBM Z Linux jobs are routed and executed. Tidal's domain manager provides efficient organization and resource allocation for job scheduling. Time-dependent scheduling, specified in the format of hh.mm , allows precise job execution, while initialization statements and OPC's control optimize job routing and execution.

Does Tidal provide automatic recovery capabilities for batch jobs?

Yes, Tidal offers automatic recovery features that can help ensure the successful execution of batch jobs in the IBM Z Linux environment. It helps recover from failures or errors during job execution, minimizing disruptions and promoting job completion. Streamline your business processes with our comprehensive portfolio of workload automation software solutions .

How does Tidal support job submission and scheduling syntax?

Tidal provides comprehensive support for job submission and scheduling syntax commonly used in the IBM Z Linux environment. This ensures compatibility and seamless integration with existing job scheduling processes, making it easier to define and manage job workflows. Users can define and configure specific settings based on the workstation name and create scheduling environments tailored to their unique requirements. Learn the differences between job scheduling and enterprise workload automation, and why they matter to your organization .

Can Tidal integrate with IBM subsystems such as JES and TSO?

Yes, Tidal integrates with IBM.com subsystems like JES (Job Entry Subsystem) and TSO (Time Sharing Option) to provide advanced job scheduling functionalities. Tidal also supports IBM’s WebSphere Application Server and several other integrations with API including SAP (Systems, Applications, and Products), Oracle, Java, ISPF (Interactive System Productivity Facility). Users can also utilize command line and CMD to execute various job scheduling tasks.
