Why Talk About Workload Automation?
“over 70% of business processes are performed in batch rather than real time.”
Stated by Industry Analyst in various research papers
It’s important
It’s detailed, labor intensive and the challenges are growing “…with the consumerization of IT, reliance on packaged applications, emergence of cloud, big data and mobile technologies the need to effectively manage and expand the integration between batch workloads and the rest of the enterprise is greater now than ever before.”

Workload Automation Challenges
Silos of automation and scalability challenges
Reliance on outdated, home-grown, OS level / basic scheduling tools
Integration challenges between batch elements, real time workloads, FTP’s, Web, Databases, ERP’s, etc…
Inability to manage to an enterprise-wide batch service level or enable critical path monitoring
High OPEX & CAPEX due to different skill sets required for each platform/application and cost of various tools
Increased exception rate (failures, missed SLA’s) and elongated recovery times
Poor security controls and reporting

How Do We Get There – Conversion Process
– Workload Change Freeze or Tracking
– Data Extraction
– Execute Conversion
• Pre Hand-Off Validation & Adjustment
• Load Results to run in ‘offline’ mode
• Remediate Conversion Exceptions
– Validation / Adjustment / Testing
– Parallel Testing
• Forecasting and Report Review
• Parallel Test Analysis
• Stakeholder Sign-Off
– Activation
– Post Activation Support
Process should be executed on a system and application basis
The decision to activate the converted workloads is the responsibility of the customer stakeholders
Following the execution of a targeted Pilot conversion these tasks can be executed in a concurrent fashion for multiple workload groupings

How Do We Get There – Deploy & Support Workload Activation
• Final Readiness Review – Stakeholder Sign-Off Obtained – Change Management Processes Executed – Communication to the business – Ancillary Elements Staged – Operations and Application Support Teams in Place – CA Support Notified – CA WLA Infrastructure Reviewed – Optimal Cut-Over Time Identified – ‘Bridges’ Between Solutions In Place
• Activation – Produce Forecast Report for Targeted Workloads – Suspend Targeted Workload in Current Tool – Suspend Job Submission for Targeted Workload in CA WLA – Load Staged Workload in CA WLA – Load / Activate Ancillary Elements – Review Contents & Manually Reconcile Dependencies with Current Tool – Activate Small Segment of Loaded Jobs (resource based submission control) – Review Results & Adjust As Needed – Throttle Workload Up – Communicate Status to the Business
• Post Activation – Maintain ‘Heightened’ Level of Monitoring for Activated Workloads (two – three days) – Review Missing Dependencies and Jobs Not Run Reports – Adjust Exceptions – Recalibrate Plan for Remaining Groups to be Converted as Needed – Transition to Business as Usual for Converted Workloads
