TWS documentation is horrible even by IBM standards. Those giants manages to make it considerably worse from version 8.2 to version 8.5 to the extent that some simple concepts are completely incomprehensible in version 8.5. This is real masterpiece of technical nonsense, perfect example of how not to write technical documentation. What is really amazing is that the quality is pretty even, so they manage to screw all (yes all) documentation to TWS 8.5 to the level of dirty joke. TWS 8.2 documentation is also bad but it is definitely better written then documentation to TWS 8.5. Just compare explanation of how to create the first production plan in TWS 8.2 and TWS 8.5 documentation and you will understand the difference.

Some Redbooks are OK and provide some reasonable insight into the system. They are actually better starting point then documentation. See Documentation/Redbooks
IBM Tivoli software training course - IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler 8.3 Administration
The following manuals are available in the Tivoli Workload Scheduler library:
Describes planning and installing Tivoli Workload Scheduler.
Explains the Tivoli Workload Scheduler command line, understanding how extended and network agents work, and integrating Tivoli Workload Scheduler with NetView(R) and with Tivoli Business Systems Manager.
Interprets Tivoli Workload Scheduler error messages, and provides sources of information that will help you in solving problems with Tivoli Workload Scheduler.

This IBM Redbook implements a solution that integrates IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler and IBM DB2 Content Manager OnDemand products to provide centralized output processing for job logs (job outputs, message files, and audit files) from IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler and IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS. The solution provides immediate benefit by integrating the job logs into an online, electronic information archive and retrieval system, which is used for quick search and problem resolution purposes.As part of the solution, we cover defining and implementing the required infrastructure, to access these reports from a simple user interface. We also include examples and scenarios for using this solution.
We include all scripts that make up this solution so that you will be able customize the solution according to your needs.
We anticipate that the solution covered in this book will provide great value for IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler and IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS customers who are planning to deploy a centralized job logging and browsing system.

Chapter 1. IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler 8.2 new featuresThis IBM Redbook explains the benefits and technical merits of integrating IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler Distributed and IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS with other IBM products. Scheduling is a mission critical process for any company. However, when you talk about scheduling, you are really talking about an ecosystem. In this ecosystem, each solution is a building block that adds value to the overall solution. With IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler, you can collect and add data to and from each component. In addition, expanding the scheduling ecosystem to include monitoring, management, help desk, storage, and business systems management provides greater value.
This book discusses all these integration points and provides detailed scenarios on how to integrate IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler with these types of applications.
Because workload management is widely considered the nucleus of the data center, there are numerous opportunities for you to integrate IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler with other products. This book addresses just some of these many opportunities. In terms of integration with IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler, do not limit yourself to the products that this book discusses. Integration points discussed in this book should give you an idea of the potential value that IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler integration can provide for your company.
