Typical installation scenario

Scenario for a fresh typical installation at the latest product version of IBM® Workload Scheduler

This image describes the steps required for installing the full software stack for IBM Workload Scheduler: creating and populating the database, creating the wa user, installing WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base, installing the master domain manager andbackup master domain manager, the Dynamic Workload Console servers, and the agents.
This scenario describes how to perform a fresh install at the latest product version of the full software stack for IBM Workload Scheduler, which consists of the following components and workstations:
  • One workstation for the database server which hosts both the master domain manager and Dynamic Workload Console databases.
  • One workstation for the master domain manager and the related WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base.
  • One workstation for the backup master domain manager and the related WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base. The master domain manager and backup master domain manager share the same database. This ensures the backup master domain manager has the latest data and can take over seamlessly, in case the master domain manager fails.
  • Two workstations for two Dynamic Workload Console installations, each of them with their related WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base. The two Dynamic Workload Console instances share the same database.
  • A number of agents.

The installation process installs both the General Availability version 9.5 and the latest fix pack version. All fix pack images include the refreshed code containing the General Availability version 9.5 and the latest fix pack. Hence, an installation performed from the fix pack image installs both the General Availability version 9.5 and the latest fix pack version.

Figure 1 describes how the IBM Workload Scheduler components listed above are usually installed.

You can now proceed to Creating and populating the database.
