Modify the workstation of operations in the LTP

We want to have the option to modify the workstation when adding an application into the LTP. So we can use the same methods in LTP as in CP.

Use case:Very often we get requests like: 1. Plan the application X for date Y. Only the jobs 10 to 12 should run. But not the other jobs. In CP we set these unwanted jobs to a special workstation (DUMY) to bypass them. Currently in LTP we can only change the JCL of these unwanted jobs to IEFBR14 or %OPC NOP . 2. Plan the application X for date Y. But it should not run based on dependencies or time. It should run when the responsible departmend calls you. In CP we can use some special workstations to set an application ( or job ) on HOLD for manual release. Currently in LTP we have to add an special additional held application into the LTP for that day. Then we define it as a predecessor for application(s) X . On day Y we then have to remove the dependency when the telephone call comes. And when all dependent applica-tions (X, …) have run then we have to delete the waste special held application from the CP. With the option to modify the workstation in the LTP these request could be handled very easy.
