Features introduced with Fix Pack 2
The following new product features, enhancements, and changes are introduced with this fix pack:
- Defining and managing IBM Workload Scheduler security with role-based security model
- You can define and update your security file according to the role-based security model, by using the Manage Workload Security interface from the Dynamic Workload Console or the composer command-line program.
With the role-based security model you can update your security file with the security objects that you define in the master domain manager database, in a quick and easy way. You can define your security objects by using the Manage Workload Security interface from the Dynamic Workload Console or the composer command-line program. Enable the role-based security model by setting the optman enRoleBasedSecurityFileCreation global option to yes.
According to the role-based security model, the security objects that you can define are:For more information see the online product documentation available in Getting started with Security.- Security roles
- Each role represents a certain level of authorization and includes the set of actions that users or groups can do.
- Security domains
- Each domain represents the set of scheduling objects that users or groups can manage.
- Access control lists
- Each access control list is defined assigning roles to users or groups, on a certain security domain.
- Hybrid Workload Automation
-
Pick a mixture of Workload Automation on Cloud and on Premises and reduce IT costs with hybrid scheduling management. Hybrid Workload Automation allows you to use a common User Interface to manage both on Premises and on Cloud engines.
You can monitor and execute actions in plan on the following objects: job, critical job, workstation, resource, prompt, job stream, file, and domain. The same efficient workload managed in the on premises environment can be scheduled to run in the on cloud environment.
You can transfer your workload from your on premises environment to your Workload Automation on Cloud through a simple import procedure. The workload is instantly reproduced and it is ready to be employed on your agents. Handling your workload in the on Cloud environment is a more cost effective way to utilize resources in the cloud only when you need them without relying on an on premises infrastructure. Workload Automation on Cloud reduces IT infrastructure costs, and it is a solution for utilizing resources only when you have a business need to run your workload.
For more information about Hybrid Workload Automation see Hybrid scheduling environment in the online product documentation in IBM Knowledge Center. - New method for updating DB2 and Oracle database schema
-
When creating, upgrading, or updating the master domain manager and its backup, or the dynamic domain manager and its backup, the database schema must also be created, upgraded, or updated.
If you typically update your database tables manually before updating the IBM Workload Scheduler components in your environment, then you can use this new method which includes a script that quickly generates the required SQL statements in an SQL file and optionally applies them directly to the database in a single step.
The advantages of this new update method are:- A single script that dynamically generates the SQL statements and applies them directly to the database. Optionally, you can configure the script to generate only and then apply them at a later time but before installing the product component.
- The script can be run and rerun as many times as needed without any cleanup required between runs. For example, if for some reason a database object is corrupt, you can rerun the script to regenerate the SQL file and apply it.
- For DB2 databases, this method eliminates the requirement of installing a DB2 client to update a database located on a remote DB2 server. The script works using the JDBC drivers and connecting directly to the database server minimizing the overhead in installing and maintaining a database client. Important: If you already use a DB2 client and want to take advantage of this new method and eliminate it, ensure that you do not change the location of your JDBC driver. If you change the location, then remember to change it also in the WebSphere Application Server. If instead your WebSphere Application Server does not point to the JDBC driver, then you can proceed to uninstall your DB2 client.
- Use this method as a stand-alone tool to check the consistency of the database schema. The database administrator can verify if the database schema has changed and repair any inconsistencies.
Installing, updating, or upgrading the product components using either the Installation Manager wizard or the silent installation methods automatically upgrades the database tables using this same method.
For more information about this method of upgrading the database schema, see Updating or upgrading the database schema for DB2 or Oracle.
- Reply to a message for an IBM i job from Dynamic Workload Console
- When an IBM i job is in SUSP (suspended) status, waiting for a reply to a message, you can reply to the message directly from the Monitor Workload of the Dynamic Workload Console. For more information see Scheduling jobs on IBM i in the online product documentation available in IBM Knowledge Center.
- Automatic reply to waiting messages for an IBM i job
- You can define standard rules to automate the reply to waiting messages for an IBM i job. When defining an IBM i job, by using the Dynamic Workload Console or the composer command line, you can specify the list of messages for which you want to set up an automated reply. In the output job log you can see the messages queued by IBM i system and the replies sent automatically by the job. For more information see IBM i jobs in the online product documentation available in IBM Knowledge Center.
- Running a script when a job completes
- In many scenarios, when a job completes, you might want to run one or more actions, by using the information related to the job completion. For this purpose, you can write a script file and store it in a directory of the agent file system. The script is run every time that a job completes, either successfully or unsuccessfully. The script runs with the same credentials as the agent user that is running the job. For more information see Running a script when a job completes in the online product documentation available in IBM Knowledge Center.
- Checking prerequisites before running a silent installation
- The silent installation method is an unattended installation that does not require user intervention, however, to ensure that the installation is not halted because of missing or insufficient system requirements, you can now run a script that checks for product system requirements before initiating the installation. The prerequisite check script is available for master domain manager and Dynamic Workload Console installations and checks requirements such as:
- Supported operating system.
- Sufficient RAM.
- Sufficient swap file space.
- Disk space for the creation of the installation and temporary directories passed in input to the script.
- IBM Workload Scheduler Plug-in for Apache Oozie
- With the new IBM Workload Scheduler plug-in for Apache Oozie, you can schedule, monitor, and control Oozie workflows and Hadoop jobs such as Hive, MapReduce, Pig, and Sqoop. As Hadoop adoption continues to expand, Hadoop jobs are growing in volume and complexity. To optimize their execution, different Hadoop jobs can be organized into a single logical unit of work, called a workflow. Apache Oozie is a powerful tool that creates and manages complex workflows of Hadoop jobs. However, it is fundamental to integrate Oozie workflows with the rest of the business process flow. With the new plug-in for Oozie, workflows and Hadoop jobs can be managed the same way as any other IBM Workload Scheduler job, extending the central management of the company workload to the Hadoop environment. For more information see Apache Oozie jobs in the online product documentation available in IBM Knowledge Center. In addition, see a practical example of the plug-in demonstrated in a business scenario and short and informative video: IBM Workload Scheduler Plug-in for Apache Oozie.
- Support for TLS 1.2 protocol
- To comply with the US government SP 800-131 security standard, you can configure the WebSphere Application Server to support the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2. Previously this type of configuration caused communication errors between the command line and the agents. With this fix pack, IBM Workload Scheduler now supports this type of configuration.
- OpenSSL libraries updated
- To address OpenSSL vulnerabilities, the OpenSSL libraries used by IBM Workload Scheduler have been updated from version 1.0.2d to 1.0.2g.
- New keyword added to local options file to address running commands in file dependencies as root
- With Fix Pack 2, a new keyword named, jm file no root, has been introduced to allow or prevent jobman from executing commands in file dependencies as root user. The default setting is to prevent jobman from executing commands specified by jm file no root =no in the localopts file. For more information see Localopts details.
- New behavior for the tws_env.sh file
- This fix pack installs a new version of the file tws_env.sh in the directory <TWA_HOME>/TWS, where <TWA_HOME> is the IBM Workload Scheduler installation directory. Before installing the fix pack, ensure you have created a backup file if you have modified the original version. After installing the fix pack, merge the content of the new version with the content of the original version to carry your customized content into the new version (157029).
- Extended operating system support
- With this fix pack, the following operating systems are supported:
-
- IBM AIX®V7.2: master domain manager and agents
- Microsoft Windows 10: dynamic agent
- Linux Ubuntu V14.2: dynamic agent
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server V12: master domain manager and agents
- RFE 82622: Extended support for automatic initialization of IBM Workload Scheduler instances on UNIX operating systems
For some Linux distributions that use systemd as the default initialization system, such as RedHat Enterprise Linux v7.0 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server V12, a new script is provided to guarantee continued support of automatic initialization of IBM Workload Scheduler instances during system startup. For more information see Automatically initializing IBM Workload Scheduler instances
- RFE 69916: RESTful web service to rerun jobs and job streams
IBM Workload Scheduler provides a set of RESTful APIs to monitor the status of jobs and job streams and to take recovery actions, such as rerunning a job or a job stream.
- RFE 60058: Workstation grouping in security file
With the classic security model, you cannot group workstations into an alias and then use that alias in the security file. When a new workstation is added to a group, the administrator must scan the security file and add the workstation to each corresponding list. With the new role-based security model available with this fix pack, you can simply define a security domain containing a logical group of workstations and then define an access control list assigning roles to users or groups, on a certain security domain. For more information see Configuring role-based security from the Dynamic Workload Console.

Features introduced with Fix Pack 1
- Conditional dependencies (RFE 103337)
- With IBM Workload Scheduler you can define jobs to run when and as often as necessary. Sometimes some jobs might have to wait for other jobs to finish successfully before they start. Add even more flexibility to your job flows by choosing which job to run depending on the result of the job status or output of a previous job. Whenever you have conditions that specify whether or not a segment of your job flow should run, then that is a conditional dependency. When specifying dependencies, you can define job flows with alternative branches based on conditions, specifically to achieve the same results as using IF/THEN/ELSE statements. You can use return codes, job status, output variables, and job log content as conditional logic elements to determine the start of a successor job. In addition to providing flexibility to your job flows, the Graphical View provides a graphical representation of the relationships between the jobs and job streams, including the dependencies and conditions. This at-a-glance view of your job flow is easy to read and you can also edit your job flow from this view. For more information, see Applying conditional branching logic.
- New job plug-ins
-
- IBM Workload Scheduler Plug-in for Liberty
- With the new IBM Workload Scheduler plug-in for JSR 352 Java Batch (plug-in for Liberty), you can schedule, run, and monitor your Java Batch applications and integrate them into more complex, composite batch workflows. For more information, see Schedule, execute, and monitor your Java Batch applications with IBM Workload Automation.
- IBM Workload Scheduler Plug-in for MQTT
- IBM Workload Scheduler integrates with MQTT to provide centralized management of your "Internet of Things" devices. MQTT is a publish and subscribe, simple, and lightweight messaging protocol. For more information, see Monitor and control your "Internet of Things" devices.
- WebSphere Application Server tools enhancements (RFE 33301)
- Credentials required to submit WebSphere Application Server tools (wastools) scripts supplied with the product are now optional when you submit the scripts to run. WebSphere Application Server administration scripts, such as starting and stopping the WebSphere Application Server, supplied with IBM Workload Scheduler retrieve the credentials stored in the soap.client.props file located in the properties directory of the WebSphere Application Server profile to avoid the necessity of supplying a user name and clear text password in the command line.
In addition to added security protection, the enhancement eliminates the maintenance costs associated with frequent password changes. The user ID and password are now optional and the credentials are retrieved from the soap.client.props file. However, unlike the master domain manager installation where the soap.client.props file is automatically customized with these credentials, the Dynamic Workload Console requires you to manually customize the soap.client.props file with the credentials to be able to use this enhancement. For more information, see Application server - starting and stopping.
- Scheduling the centralized agent update
- You can schedule the centralized update of multiple agent instances by creating a centralized agent update job, either by using the Dynamic Workload Console or the composer command line. When a job runs, it forwards to the master domain manager the Update agent request for all the fault-tolerant agent or dynamic agent instances that you selected, and then completes. For more information, see Scheduling the centralized agent update.
- IBM i enhancements
-
- Checking IBM i jobs that are waiting for a message reply
- You can now use the Dynamic Workload Console and conman showjobs command line to check if an IBM i job is waiting for a reply to a message. An IBM i job that is waiting for a message reply is in the SUSP (suspended) status. This status indicates that the job is running while waiting for input. When the input is received, the job status changes to EXEC (executing).
- Viewing the message for which an IBM i job is waiting for a reply
- You can also view the message for which the IBM i job is waiting for a reply. The message text and the reply are written into the corresponding IBM Workload Scheduler job log, so that the IBM Workload Scheduler operator knows the exact message the IBM i job is waiting for.
- Specifying the name of the queue where IBM i jobs are monitored
- You can specify the name of the queue where the monitoring agent component runs by using the customizable property MonitorQueueName in the native job launcher section of the JobManager.ini file. If you do not specify this property, the default queue (QBATCH) is used.
- IBM Workload Scheduler integration with IBM Tivoli® Monitoring: situation refactoring and new view associations
- With this fix pack, two scripts are provided, ITMCreateSituations and ITMSetSeverity, that create the default situations for monitoring IBM Workload Scheduler processes and that associate these default situations to a respective severity and not automatically to a critical severity as with past releases. The default situations can be associated to a physical or logical view of your choice on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. For more information, see How to create IBM Workload Scheduler default situations.

Known limitations and workarounds
The following are software limitations and workarounds that affect IBM Workload Automation version 9.3.0 Fix Pack 1, 2, 3 and 4. For a list of known problems and limitations documented for the V9.3 General Availability release, refer to the product Release Notes®.
- 9.3.0 Fix Pack 4:
-
- IJ10469: Fixpack 9.3 installation fails when dynamic agent is updated
- Workaround: Before installing 9.3 Fixpack 3 dynamic agent on AIX, ensure that $BASEPATH value is empty.
- 9.3.0 Fix Pack 3:
-
- 169512: spaceUsed.exe crash during installation of fix pack 3 on a master domain manager
- When installing the fix pack, ensure the installation path is not longer than 260 characters. This is due to a Windows limitation. See note: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#maxpath.
- 178283: Composer requires environment variables to be set
- To have the composer command line function correctly, you need to set a number of environment variables either through submitting some commands or running the tws_env script. To set the variables:
- Submit the following commands:
- On UNIX:
UNISONHOME=<TWS_HOME_DIR_PATH> PATH=$UNISONHOME:$UNISONHOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH ITA_CFG=$UNISONHOME/ITA/cpa/ita/ita.ini export ITA_CFG - Run the tws_env script:
- On UNIX:
./<TWS_HOME_DIR_PATH>/tws_env.sh
- 9.3.0 Fix Pack 2:
-
- Error installing fix pack on Solaris operating system with an Oracle database
- When installing the fix pack on a Solaris operating system where an Oracle database is used, the installation must be performed using a connection that is not in SSL between the machine where the installation is being performed and the machine where the Oracle database is installed. (156227)
- During the upgrade of the master domain manager, the installation process fails to retrieve information if the WebSphere Application Server was upgraded to V8.5.5.4
- During the upgrade of the master domain manager, the installation process attempts to retrieve information from your environment. If the installation fails to perform the retrieve, and you have recently upgraded WebSphere Application Server to version 8.5.5.4, then you need to stop, start, and stop again, the WebSphere Application Server, and then restart the upgrade installation process for the master. (152994)
- Centralized agent update of a dynamic agent fails to update agent on AIX with no root mode
- Dynamic agent updates performed using the centralized agent update method from the Dynamic Workload Console fail on AIX operating systems in no root mode.
- Dynamic agent workstation name or cpuname is regenerated when upgrading from V8.5.1 to V9.3 Fix Pack 2
- When upgrading a V8.5.1 master domain manager, backup master domain manager, dynamic domain manager, or backup dynamic domain manager to V9.3 Fix Pack 2, the -displayname <agent_name>option used to assign the agent name by the twsinst installation script, is ignored. The result is that the agent display name is automatically generated and cannot be assigned during the upgrade. This mainly affects dynamic jobs that were defined using JSDL templates in V8.5.1. (157695)
- 9.3.0 Fix Pack 1
-
- Apache Commons Collections Vulnerability
- WebSphere Application Server uses Apache Commons Collections which was found to contain a remotely exploitable vulnerability.
Workaround: To mitigate this problem, you must install the fix found in this technote: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24041257.
- File transfer job submitted on a Windows agent ends in error
- When endpoint protection software is active on a Windows agent workstation, the FTP connection is blocked by Java. A Java technology bug reporting this issue can be accessed at http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7077696.
- Centralized agent update fails on a dynamic agent, on UNIX operating systems, previously upgraded to the version 9.3 General Availability (GA) level
- When applying version 9.3 Fix Pack 1 using the centralized agent update method on a dynamic agent only (without the fault-tolerant agent), on a UNIX operating system, that was upgraded to the version 9.3 GA level from a previous version, the update fails.
Workaround: Install the update manually on the agent workstation.
- Centralized agent update not supported on IBM i
- Launching the centralized agent update on an IBM i agent, the update fails.
Workaround: Install the update manually on the agent workstation.
- On IBM i agent workstations the sendevent utility command requires manually setting
- The sendevent utility command does not work unless an environment variable is set manually first. Workaround: To use the utility command, sendevent, from the command line (./TWS/CLI/bin/sendevent) on IBM i, you must first set the environment variable QIBM_MULTI_THREADED to Y to alert the QShell to allow multithreading by submitting the following command:
export QIBM_MULTI_THREADED=Y - When centralized agent update of a fault-tolerant agent fails, the restore operation sets the fence priority option to go
- When a fault-tolerant agent is updated using the centralized agent update method, and the update fails, the fault-tolerant agent is restored to the previous release level, and the fence priority option is to go.
You can manually reset the fence priority option from the Dynamic Workload Console or using the conman command line. You can do this directly from the master domain manager rather than connecting to the agent workstation.
- Job dependency status incorrectly reported after job execution
- If plan replication is disabled, and you have a job or job stream running on a fault-tolerant agent, and there are conditional dependences defined, when monitoring the status of the job or job stream, some dependencies might report an undefined dependency status, even if the dependencies have been evaluated. The job or job stream status event might arrive on the master domain manager before the dependencies are evaluated.
Workaround: Decrease the value of the bm look option, for example to 5, in the localopts on the master domain manager so that batchman checks on the dependencies of the other workstations more frequently before the job or job stream status event arrives on the master domain manager.

- This fix pack has been refreshed to include information about downloading the eImages related to DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition, Version 10.5. The eImages are available for download from the Passport Advantage web site with the following part number: ########. After the installation of DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition, you must manually apply the license activation key (.lic file). The license key must be downloaded separately from the Passport Advantage web site. The part number related to the license activation key is #########. The key must be registered using the db2licm command. See Applying DB2 licenses for the procedure to register the key. If you already have installed DB2 Advanced Workgroup Server Edition, you can switch this license with a DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition license, by following the procedure in Updating licenses. Note that when the procedure references the product-identifier as in step 3:
replace the product-identifier with the file representing the license activation key (.lic).db2licm -a product-identifier - This fix pack installs a new version of the file tws_env.sh in the directory <TWA_HOME>/TWS, where <TWA_HOME> is the IBM Workload Scheduler installation directory. Before installing the fix pack, ensure you have created a backup file if you have modified the original version. After installing the fix pack, merge the content of the new version with the content of the original version to carry your customized content into the new version (157029).
- Before installing this fix pack on AIX V7.1 operating systems, you must apply the patch for APAR IZ99634. For more information, see: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IZ99634.
- On UNIX operating systems, before installing the IBM Workload Scheduler fix pack, ensure that your 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 - On UNIX operating systems, the database administrator must have read and run privileges for the IBM Workload Scheduler installation path; otherwise the installation fails. (54367)
- If you get an error message indicating permission denied for the installation process, to run a script in the tws_tools directory as a user, different from the root user because this user does not have write, read, and execute rights in this directory, you must:
- Extract the eImages to a directory where all users have write, read, and execute rights.
- Restart the installation process from this directory.
- During the upgrade of the master domain manager, the installation process attempts to retrieve information from your environment. If the installation fails to perform the retrieve, and you have recently upgraded WebSphere Application Server to version 8.5.5.4, then you need to stop, start, and stop again, the WebSphere Application Server, and then restart the upgrade installation process for the master.
- When installing the fix pack on a Solaris operating system where an Oracle database is used, the installation must be performed using a connection that is not in SSL between the machine where the installation is being performed and the machine where the Oracle database is installed.
- On IBM i operating systems, if you want to install the fix pack on the IBM Workload Automation for z/OS Agent and IBM Workload Scheduler Dynamic Agent, verify that the user profile used as TWSUser is not a member of a group profile. Set the group profile associated with the TWSUser to *NONE. If the TWSUser is a member of a group, the fix pack installation fails.
- Only on Windows operating systems, to correctly display double-byte character set (DBCS) characters, you must perform the following actions:
- Set the LANG environment variable to the DBCS language code you want to use, for example, set LANG=zh_CN.
- Set the TWS_TISDIR environment variable to the IBM Workload Scheduler home directory, for example, set TWS_TISDIR=C:\FTA\TWS.
- Open the Control Panel window and click Clock, Language, and Region.
- Click Region and Language.
- In the Format tab, choose from the Format drop-down list the language you want to use.
- In the Keyboards and Languages tab, under Display Language, click install and follow the steps to install the DBCS language pack you want to use.
- In the Administrative tab, click Change system locale and, from the drop-down list, choose the language (system locale) you want to use.
- 168833: When installing this fix pack on AIX V7.2, ensure that you have WebSphere V8.5.5.8 and DB2 V10.5 Fix Pack 7 installed.
- When installing a dynamic agent or a fault-tolerant agent, ensure that the agent name does not start with a number. If the name of the dynamic agent starts with a number, use the -displayname parameter at installation time to specify a different name. If the name of the fault-tolerant agent starts with a number, use the --thiscpu parameter at installation time to specify a different name.

Procedure
What to do next
Installing the fix pack on agents using the twsinst script
- To show command usage:
-
- On Windows operating systems:
-
cscript twsinst.vbs -u | -v - On UNIX and Linux operating systems:
-
./twsinst -u | -v
- To install a fix pack:
-
- On Windows operating systems:
-
cscript twsinst -update -uname TWS_user -password user_password [-domain user_domain] [-inst_dir installation_dir [-recovInstReg {true | false}]] [-wait <minutes>] [-lang <lang_id>] - On UNIX and Linux operating systems:
-
Where:./twsinst -update -uname TWS_user [-inst_dir installation_dir [-recovInstReg {true | false}]] [-wait <minutes>][-lang <lang_id>]- -update
- Upgrades an existing agent that was installed using the twsinst script.
- -uname TWS_user
- The name of the user for which IBM Workload Automation is upgraded.
- -password user_password
- Windows operating systems only. The password of the user for which you are upgrading IBM Workload Automation.
- -domain user_domain
- Windows operating systems only. The domain name of the IBM Workload Automation user. The default is the name of the workstation on which you are upgrading the product.
- -inst_dir installation_dir [-recovInstReg true | false ]
- The name of the directory where you installed IBM Workload Automation. When installing the fix pack the inst_dir parameter is used:
- If the installation process cannot retrieve the product installation location from the registries.
- If you need to re-create the IBM Workload Automation registries again before the fix pack installation. Set the value of recovInstReg to true if you want to re-create the registry files while performing a fix pack installation on a fault-tolerant agent.
- -wait minutes
- The number of minutes that the product waits for jobs that are running to complete before starting the fix pack installation. If the jobs do not complete during this interval the installation process does not proceed and an error message is displayed. Valid values are integers or -1 for the product to wait indefinitely. The default is 60.
- -lang lang_id
- The language used for the twinst messages displayed. The default is the value of the system variable LANG. If the language catalog for the value you specified is missing, the default C language catalog is used.
twsinst for Windows is a Visual Basic Script (VBS) that you can run in CScript and WScript mode. The IBM Workload Automation user is automatically created. The software is installed by default in the IBM Workload Automation installation directory. The default value is %ProgramFiles%\IBM\TWA. If you enabled the Security Warning, a dialog box is displayed during the installation. In this case, answer Run to continue.
- Run twsinst with the options you need for your fix pack installation scenario.
- On IBM i operating systems, if you are installing the fix pack on a IBM Workload Automation for z/OS Agent or a IBM Workload Automation Dynamic Agent, after you complete the actions described in the section Extract the eImages for the IBM Workload Automation for z/OS Agent and Dynamic Agent on IBM i operating systems, run the twsinst script from the QSH shell.
- When the agent upgrade completes, if your agent is a fault-tolerant agent, you have to restart all the IBM Workload Automation processes and services, with exception of netman that restarts automatically.
- On Windows operating systems:
mailman, batchman, writer, jobman,stageman, JOBMON, tokensrv, batchup, monman - On UNIX operating systems:
mailman, batchman, writer, jobman, JOBMAN, stageman, monman.
- On Windows operating systems:
Installing the fix pack on multiple fault-tolerant and dynamic agents
You can install fix packs for multiple fault-tolerant agent and dynamic agent instances, by downloading a package on the master domain manager workstation and updating the multiple agent instances by running an action from the Dynamic Workload Console. You can also schedule the centralized update of multiple agent instances, by using the Dynamic Workload Console or the command line.
Before you begin
In the master domain manager Security file, you must have manage authorization for all the agent workstations for TWS_master_user, root, or Administrator users. If your master domain manager is a version 9.3.0 fresh installation, the authorization role is automatically added to the Security file. If your master domain manager is an upgraded version 9.3.0 instance, you must manually add the authorization. For more information about the manage keyword usage, see the Object type - cpu topic in the Administration Guide. For an example of a master domain manager Security file, see topic about the security file on the master domain manager to install fix packs or upgrade fault-tolerant agents and dynamic agents in the Administration Guide.
