How to nest Job Streams in IBM Workload scheduler?

Question

I have a business requirement where I need to create a Job Stream to aggregate a few other Job Streams.

My current business process contains over 6 streams that runs one after another with the FOLLOWs keyword. However I need to create a on demand SCHEDULE to execute all 6 streams in just one submission, that can be executed on demand at any time.

How can I achieve that? I do NOT want to create 1 Big Stream and copy and paste all the jobs there. Instead I'd love to just reference all job streams that I need in just one Job Stream so I could execute it in 1 submission only.

I couldn't find any ways to nest job Streams. I definitely appreciate you help on this.

Example on what I need:

---

SCHEDULE W1#JOB_STREAM_1
ON RUNCYCLE EXAMPLE "FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1"
:
  W1#JOB_A
END

SCHEDULE W1#JOB_STREAM_2
ON RUNCYCLE EXAMPLE "FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1"
FOLLLOWS W1#JOB_STREAM_1
:
  W1#JOB_B
END

# I need this Stream to be executed on Demand so I don't have to manually submit JOB_STREAM_1 and JOB_STREAM_2 when they ask me to execute them OUTSIDE of the scheduled time.
SCHEDULE W1#STREAM_AGGREGATION
ON REQUEST
:
  W1#JOB_STREAM_1

  W1#JOB_STREAM_2
END

I've checked everywhere in IBM documentation and couldn't find any reference on nested Job Streams

It's not exactly nesting, although in your aggregation job stream you can use the Job Stream Submission jobs to submit the other 2 job streams.
