The WSGrid utility is designed to facilitate integration of WebSphere Extended Deployment jobs with external workload schedulers.Use this utility to sub-dispatch a WebSphere Extended Deployment grid job.
The WSGrid utility is a client application of the job scheduler message-driven interface. Use the WSGrid utility to facilitate control of WebSphere batch jobs by external workload schedulers, such as Tivoli Workload Scheduler. The WSGrid utility is invoked by an external workload scheduler as part of a larger task choreography. The WSGrid utility submits a WebSphere batch job, then waits for its completion. The job log from the WebSphere batch job is written to the standard output stream of the environment in which the WSGrid utility was invoked.
WSGrid can also be invoked from conventional JCL
on z/OS. This enables a WebSphere batch job to be incorporated as
a job step into a conventional z/OS batch job.
Use the following syntax for invoking the WSGrid utility:
