Changed features and feature capabilities in version 10.2.3

A list of features changed since the previous release

The following features have changed or have been introduced or removed since the previous release:
Scheduling end-to-end with fault-tolerant capabilities is no longer available with IBM® Z Workload Scheduler, version 10.2
This change impacts all components which connect to fault-tolerant agents. For instance, when you connect the Dynamic Workload Console to an engine running IBM Z Workload Scheduler, version 10.2, fault-tolerant agents are no longer available.
OneDB and Infomix databases replaced by PostgreSQL
OneDB and Informix are no longer supported and support for PostgreSQL has been introduced to replace them. PostgreSQL provides a number of advantages, such as enhanced performance, robust features, and seamless scalability, as described in Elevate your data management with PostgreSQL database. If you are using OneDB or Informix and want to upgrade to version 10.2.3, you can extract all your definitions from OneDB or Informix and import them into a supported database. For more information, see Connecting the master domain manager to a new database and Connecting the Dynamic Workload Console to a new node or database.
Derby database is no longer supported
Derby database is no longer supported.
If you upgrade from an environment where you are using Derby, you have to install a supported database and extract all your definitions from Derby as described in Connecting the Dynamic Workload Console to a new node or database.
FIPS compliance temporarily not supported
FIPS compliance is not supported in the current product version. This is because OpenSSL 3.0 libraries do not provide a FIPS-compliant validation algorithm for P12 certificates. Development is in progress with the aim of supporting FIPS in upcoming releases.
An optional parameter named enablefips is available in the serverinst and twsinst scripts to check FIPS settings before you install or upgrade. The default value in a fresh installation is false.
If you are upgrading from an environment where FIPS compliance is supported, you should disable FIPS configuration. When upgrading, a check is performed on your settings to ensure FIPS is not enabled. If it is enabled, the upgrade stops and an error message is displayed. To resume the upgrade, set the enablefips parameter to false when running the serverinst and twsinst scripts. The upgrade proceeds and the configuration files are updated accordingly. For more information, see Q: My environment is FIPS compliant. What happens if I upgrade to version 10.2.3?.
Dynamic Workload Console and master domain manager are no longer supported on AIX operating systems
Both Dynamic Workload Console and master domain manager are no longer supported on AIX operating systems. Support remains unchanged for all agent types. For a complete list, see Supported operating systems
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 out of support
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 went out of support in June 2024. As a result, it is not supported in IBM Workload Scheduler version 10.2.3.
