IBM Z Linux Job Scheduler Integration

With Tidal’s z/OS Linux integration, teams can seamlessly orchestrate mainframe job scheduling within their overall business processes, enabling end-to-end management and automation without the need for scripting.

The zLinux agent, installed on the mainframe, acts as a delegate of the Tidal Master and performs various tasks. This fault-tolerant agent possesses extensive capabilities, including:

• Knowledge of the jobs to be run
• Time-dependent scheduling
• APAR support
• Transmitting back completion status and output
• Triggering actions in Tidal based on events occurring in mainframe processing
• Prioritizing critical jobs

Tidal’s z/OS Linux integration and its z-centric agent allows teams to incorporate critical z/OS jobs into their enterprise workflows, benefiting from the advanced automation features and reducing operational expenses.
