Satisfying Requests for Enhancements (RFEs) in version 10.1 Fix Pack 1
IBM Workload Scheduler satisfies Requests for Enhancements (RFEs).
Requests for Enhancements (RFEs) give customers the opportunity to collaborate directly with the product development team and other users. The team prioritizes and develops new product features based on proposals made by customers.
IBM® Workload Scheduler V 10.1
Fix Pack 1 delivers the following RFEs:
- RFE 149367 - Installation of dynamic agents on Windows operating systems using Local System Account
- You can now install dynamic agents on Windows operating systems without providing a specific user. This means that you no longer need to provide twsuser credentials to the operator performing the installation. Moreover, the password no longer expires, ensuring a smooth running of your jobs. For more information, see Agent installation parameters - twsinst script.
- RFE 69917, AHA 46 - Interactive jobs supported on dynamic agents installed on Windows operating systems
- You can now determine the behavior of native and
executable jobs starting interactive programs on dynamic agents
installed on Windows operating systems. Interactive programs run only if the
job user has an active session open when the job runs. If there is no active
session for the job user, the job behavior is defined by the new
RunInteractiveJobOnInvalidSession property in the
JobManager.ini
file. You can set the property totrue
to enable jobs to start interactive programs even if there is no active session for the job user. Alternatively, set the property tofalse
to prevent jobs from starting interactive programs if there is no active session for the job user. This feature was already available for fault-tolerant agents and is now also available by default for dynamic agents. For more information about enabling and disabling this feature, see Configuring properties of the native job launcher [NativeJobLauncher]. - RFE 60060 - dynamic agents to track the workload on the local system
- This capability is now available using the Orchestration CLI and REST APIs version 2, as described in Orchestration CLI and Introducing REST API V2.
