Windows and DB2 for z/OS databases from a web console interface.
In this chapter you will:
• Learn about the job scheduling capabilities of the Data Studio web console
• Create a SQL script-based job
• Run the job manually
• Schedule the job to run on the sample database
• Set up monitoring of the job and check the job history
