OPC (OPERATION PLANNING AND CONTROL)

OPC is also called as TWS Tivoli Workload Scheduler.

USE : It is used to create or maintain records.

Example:


In a bank,If want to create new account or  to update the details of the existing account, the bank guys will get the details from their customers but the bank employees or not qualified to feed the records in mainframe so what they can do they generate a request to mainframe opc console monitors, they can do the job this is a working principle of OPC.

OPERATIONS:

After logging into the ISPF pane select Z to enter Extra options for opc 32



Now it will show OPS320 pane in this select O for Operation planning and control(OPC)



Now it will show OPC window, in this window MCP(Modify current plan) is most frequently used to edit data.QCP (query current plan) use to view only



In this MCP(Modify current plan)  window there are 9 options.
