This course replaces course TW080. Learn IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler (TWS) Suite 8.3 network planning, installation, maintenance, configuration, and problem solving. Get an in-depth look at the background processes, the TWS production cycle and production processing. The network planning discussion includes the different types of TWS workstations, advantages of domains, and designing a network to meet the needs of your organization. Explore configuration options available for an individual workstation and configuring the entire network, including how to effectively use TWS security.
