Prerequisites

Describes the prerequisites for running the wa_pull_info data capture utility.

Where the utility can be run
The utility can be run on the master domain manager, the backup master domain manager or a standard or fault-tolerant agent.
Who can run it
The utility must be run by one of the following users:
  • Any IBM Workload Scheduler user
  • Root (recommended on UNIX™ or Linux™ systems)
  • Administrator (on Windows™ systems)
To determine the best user to run the script, make the following considerations:
Troubleshooting any type of problem
  • On UNIX operating systems, the user running the script must have read access to the /etc and /etc/TWS directories and read access to the /etc/TWS/TWSRegistry.dat file
Troubleshooting installation problems
  • On UNIX operating systems, run the script as root to ensure to gather all installation information.
Troubleshooting problems when the product is running
  • The script will only extract database object descriptions to which the user running it has EXTRACT permission in the Security file. The <TWS_User> (the user who performed the installation) normally has full access to all database objects, so this is the best user to run the script.
  • The IBM Workload Scheduler instance must have a Symphony file otherwise some information will not be extracted.
