Implementing TWS Extended agent for Tivoli Storage Manager

Tivoli Workload Scheduler (TWS) is Tivoli's strategic, multiplatform distributed scheduling product that provides high-volume, complex scheduling capability. Although TWS has native support for many platforms and applications, it is possible to extend the TWSÆs robust scheduling capabilities to cover platforms and applications beyond those TWS supports. The way to do this is to write an Extended agent. This redbook shows you how to write a TWS Extended agent that allows you to schedule on platforms and applications for which TWS has no native agent. Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) is used as a sample application to integrate with TWS using the Extended agent. Using TWS's scheduling facility allows you to assign dependencies among TSM scheduled tasks or to assign limits or priorities. By extending TWS to schedule these TSM tasks, you can take advantage of its advanced scheduling capabilities.

This redbook will be essential for those who will write a TWS Extended agent or will use TWS to schedule TSM functions.
