Compatibility, upgrade, and coexistence

The IBM Workload Scheduler agent configured to work in a cluster environment does not impact compatibility with previous IBM Workload Scheduler versions and does not require configuration or data migration.

An IBM Workload Scheduler agent configured to work in a Windows® cluster environment can be connected to both the distributed and the end-to-end network configurations.

The DLL that extends the Windows Cluster Administration program is sometimes updated in fix packs and new releases of IBM Workload Scheduler. For this reason, the program that installs the Windows Cluster Enabler has an update option that you use to update the DLL with a new version, minor (fix pack) or major (new release of IBM Workload Scheduler).
