Upgrading the Dynamic Workload Console to version 10.2.1

This section describes how to upgrade the Dynamic Workload Console to version 10.2.1.

Before starting the installation, verify that:

• The Dynamic Workload Console is active.
• No user is connected to the Dynamic Workload Console to prevent the data related to their working session from being lost.

Installation notes

• On AIX 7.1, install the latest version of libz.a (packed in zlib-1.2.13), which is necessary; if not already installed, install the following rpm:

  https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/zlib/zlib-1.2.13-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm

• Before upgrading, ensure you have installed the required prerequisite software. To obtain the latest information about software requirements for IBM® Workload Scheduler, run the Detailed Software Requirements report and browse to the relevant section.

• Supported WebSphere® Liberty versions

  The formal test phase was performed using WebSphere Liberty 23.0.0.10. The minimum required WebSphere Liberty version to successfully install the package is 23.0.0.3 or later.

• Support for WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base version 25.0.0.3 will be available starting with the upcoming release of IBM Workload Scheduler version 10.2.4.
• If you use WebSphere Application Server Liberty version 24.0.0.7 or above, add the verifyHostname="false" parameter to the ssl_config.xml file, in the twaSSLSettings section. See the following example:

  <ssl id="twaSSLSettings" keyStoreRef="twaKeyStore" trustStoreRef="twaTrustStore" sslProtocol="TLSv1.2" clientAuthenticationSupported="true" verifyHostname="false"/>
  

  The file is located in <installation_directory>/usr/servers/dwcServer/configDropins/overrides. This problem is solved in IBM Workload Scheduler version 10.2.3 and later.
• On UNIX systems only: Before installing the Dynamic Workload Console version 10.2.1, make sure that umask is set to 022. To verify that umask is set to the correct value, from a command prompt, run the umask command. If the value is different from 022, modify it by running the command:

  umask 022

Interoperability notes

Dynamic Workload Console version 10.2.1 supports all product versions indicated in the Dynamic Workload Console version 10.2.1 Release Notes which can be accessed at the following link: Dynamic Workload Console Version 10.2 Release Notes.

Installation methods

When you install the package, the installation path varies depending on the version level you have currently installed:

• You can install directly the Dynamic Workload Console General Availability version 10.2 together with the latest package, as described in Installing from the CLI.
• You can update the Dynamic Workload Console from General Availability version 10.2 to the latest package, as described in Updating the Dynamic Workload Console.

If necessary, you can also return to a previous product version level, as described in Returning the Dynamic Workload Console to a previous product version level.

Depending on the WebSphere Application Server Liberty version you are using, you might encounter the problems described in the following technotes:

Versions equal to or higher than 24.0.0.8

See Possible IWS compatibility issues with Liberty 24.0.0.8 or higher

Versions ranging from 24.0.0.3 to 24.0.0.9

See Dynamic Workload Console is not able to open "Monitor Event Rules" nor "Manage workload security" with OpenID authentication

Disk space requirements

Before starting the version updating, ensure that you have the following space available in the file system. The values indicated in the table show the disk space required by the Dynamic Workload Console alone. For the disk space required by other components, see the relevant documentation.

To obtain the latest information about permanent disk space requirements when installing IBM Workload Scheduler on supported operating systems, run the Hardware requirements report and click on the relevant operating system link.

Table 2. Disk space requirements for installing Dynamic Workload Console

Operating System	Installation directory	Temporary directory
AIX®	2 GB	800 MB
Linux s390x	2 GB	800 MB
Linux x86-64	2 GB	800 MB
Windows 64	2,5 GB	1 GB

Note: In addition to the above disk space, the installation requires further 579 MB on /usr file system.

If the installation fails because of lack of free disk space, you must stop the installation, free space on your disk, and start the installation again.
