Workload Automation

Greater visibility of AT times in the DWC

The integration of AT times as an explicit, visual dependency within the Dynamic Workload Console (DWC) would bridge a critical gap between time-based scheduling and dependency logic. Currently, an At time often acts as a silent gatekeeper; a job ...

Easier view of "Carry Forward" jobs from the previous Plan

Adding dependencies to individual run cycles

We'd like to be able to add dependencies to individual run cycles. We currently can't do this. We have a jobstream with multiple runcycles, but want one of those runcycle to follow another jobstream, not them all. We have to do it on the command l...

Today, there's a little secret when submitting a Pre-defined Job onto the plan when you don't have an existing job stream on the plan to put it in: just put into the "Into Job Stream" field in DWC the following magic text: "/JOBS". On submission, ...

User Access Report

We need the ability to identify the users who login to IWS and when their last login was. This would be for both DWC access and the composer CLI. The existing audit reports that show when objects are modified is not sufficient. We have hundreds of...

Event rule for checking status of job / job stream at specific time where deadline or max duration is not defined

We had a use case where we need to create event to check the job status or job stream status at particular time interval , where we do not have any deadline or until or maxdur defined. It would be very useful to have event triggering at specific t...

Enable Azure Data Factory (ADF) and cloud-based jobs in IBM Workload Scheduler to support multi-region failover
