Accessing the Dynamic Workload Console

When the installation of the Dynamic Workload Console completes successfully, a message with links to the Integrated Solutions Console portal is displayed. If you used the silent installation, this information is stored in the tdwcinstall.log installation log file. For more details about where to find the installation logs, see Interactive wizard installation and uninstallation log files.

From a supported browser, access one of the following links provided by the installation program:

http://dynamic_workload_console_system:http_port/ibm/console

https://dynamic_workload_console_system:https_port/ibm/console

where:

dynamic_workload_console_system
The hostname or IP address of the system where you installed the Dynamic Workload Console.
http_port
|The port number used to access the Dynamic Workload Console using an |unsecure connection over HTTP. The default value for this port number |is 29080 if you installed the Dynamic Workload Console in a new Tivoli Workload Automation instance. If you |installed the Dynamic Workload Console into an existing Tivoli Workload Automation instance, the value for |this port is inherited. If the existing Tivoli Workload Automation instance contains the |current version of Tivoli Workload Scheduler using default ports, the value is |31123|.
https_port
|The port number used to access the Dynamic Workload Console using a |secure connection over HTTPS. The default value for this port number |is 29443 if you installed the Dynamic Workload Console as a new Tivoli Workload Automation instance. If you |installed the Dynamic Workload Console into an existing Tivoli Workload Automation instance, the value for |this port is inherited. If the existing Tivoli Workload Automation instance contains the |current version of Tivoli Workload Scheduler using default ports, the value is |31124|. |

When connecting to the Tivoli Integrated Portal using |an HTTPS connection, if you receive a security alert, proceed with |the Dynamic Workload Console working session. If you receive security information windows |while navigating through the Tivoli Integrated Portal, choose to display nonsecure items |to proceed. If you are using Internet Explorer, you can prevent these |windows from opening by setting Display mixed content to Enable in the Security settings.

In the Tivoli Integrated Portal login portlet, enter the user ID and password you specified during the installation, and click Log in.

On the navigation bar on the left, expand the Tivoli Workload Scheduler entry to access the Dynamic Workload Console and then the Tivoli Workload Scheduler components. Expand the dynamic workload broker entry to access dynamic workload broker environments.

To effectively use the functions of these two products, you must define connections to the Tivoli Workload Scheduler engines and the dynamic workload broker servers.

Without defining engine connections, you can perform only this limited set of operations:

On Tivoli Workload Scheduler
  • Create browse tasks
  • Create report tasks
  • Create event management tasks
  • Define user preferences
On dynamic workload broker
Define user preferences

If the user ID you used to connect to the Dynamic Workload Console has been assigned a role different from TWSWEBUIAdministrator and TDWBAdministrator, you will see a subset of the available panels. This subset depends on the authorizations assigned to the role associated to your user ID. For more information about roles, seethe information about configuring the Dynamic Workload Console in the Tivoli® Workload Scheduler: Administration Guide.

If the user ID you used to connect to the Dynamic Workload Console has no role assigned, you do not see the entries for Tivoli Workload Scheduler and dynamic workload broker in the Tivoli Integrated Portal portal navigation tree.
