Dynamic Workload Console Version 10.2.5 Release Notes
Content
This document provides important information about Dynamic Workload Console version 10.2.5. It is divided into the following sections: Important information for version 10.2.6 Starting with IBM® Workload Scheduler version 10.2.6, the Workload Definitions section for version 9.x connected engines will be removed from the Dynamic Workload Console. Therefore, the following pages will no longer be available: IBM Workload Scheduler version 10.2.5 contains the following enhancements: Helpful videos demonstrating new features are available on Workload Automation YouTube channel. This section lists APARs resolved in version 10.2.5 The following CVEs have been resolved: In the tables in this section the following acronyms are used: Dynamic Workload Console compatibility is supported on each release version listed in the table: Compatibility scenarios and limitations You are strongly recommended to maintain all IBM Workload Scheduler components at the latest version level as regular maintenance activity. Keeping your environment consistent also ensures you can implement the new features available with each release. The following are software limitations and workarounds that affect Dynamic Workload Console 10.2.5: To use the User Object Credential Management page, users require the following security permissions: To grant the required database and plan permissions, you must manually reconfigure the Workload Security. SAP and Shadow job definitions cannot be created nor edited from the Graphical Designer. The generation of reports in the Dynamic Workload Console fails when the Dynamic Workload Console is installed on z/OS systems. Archived records that are stored by the Federator into the database used, if any, are not always auto deleted according to the cleanup policy set in the fed_variables.xml file. Old engines that are stored by the Federator into the database used, if any, are not deleted. After you have registered a z/OS engine to the Federator, it is added to the list of discovered engines, which are only usable in the Orchestration Monitor. To make all the other Dynamic Workload Console functions available to z/OS engines, you must define them manually on the Dynamic Workload Console. Job logs containing Japanese characters might appear garbled when viewed in the Dynamic Workload Console or when using the command line on fault-tolerant agents running on Windows operating systems. For a detailed list of available packages, see the 10.2.5 Quick Start Guide document available from IBM Fix Central. This section describes how to install and upgrade the Dynamic Workload Console to version 10.2.5. Before getting started, verify that the following requirements are met: Installation notes Before performing an upgrade, check whether the ssl_config.xml file is present in the overrides folder. If the file is present, check the verifyHostname option in the twaSSLSettings section. The verifyHostname must be set to false, as shown in the following example: 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 24.0.0.8 Upgrade notes If you are using MSSQL and are upgrading from a release earlier than 10.2.3, perform the steps listed below after upgrading to the current version. If you are using MSSQL and are upgrading from release 10.2.3 or a release later than 10.2.3, you can ignore the steps listed below. Add the lines listed below after the db.driver.path parameter: Append the following strings at the end of the value of the mssql.URL parameter: Add the lines listed below after the integratedSecurity parameter: The resulting file looks as follows. The modified sections are highlighted in bold: When upgrading to Dynamic Workload Console version 1025, if the previous environment is configured for Single Sign-On (SSO) using Installation and upgrade procedures You can install the release using the procedure described in Installing from the CLI. You can upgrade to the current release using the procedure described in Upgrading from the CLI.
