Parallel tracking of the batch cycle requires the support of application schedulers to review the migrated schedules and resolve any issues that appear. If software engineering is submitting workloads, they will also need to participate in parallel tracking for those systems. The workload scheduler migration is being performed by sysplex, starting with development systems and ending with production systems. Best practice for the migration is to clean up ahead of the migration.
