Tivoli Workload Automation, Version 8.6

Conman commands

Table 1 lists the conman commands. Command names and keywords can be entered in either uppercase or lowercase characters, and can be abbreviated to as few leading characters as are needed to uniquely distinguish them from each other. Some of the command names also have specific short forms.
Note: The workstation types in the following table have these meanings:
  • M - master domain managers and backup masters
  • F - domain managers and fault-tolerant agents
  • T - for fault-tolerant agents
  • S - standard agents (you can only display files on a standard agent)
