APARs and defects fixed in version 10.2.6

This section lists APARs resolved in version 10.2.6

Table 1. APARs addressed in version 10.2.6
Code	Description
IJ33630	Environment variable value disappears if the value is enclosed within double quotes ("). If an environment variable within an executable job is defined with a value containing double quotes ("), the variable is not visible from the Workload Designer.
IJ39811	Sorting jobs fails while monitoring resources from the Monitor Workload page. While monitoring resources from the Monitor Workload page, attempting to sort the jobs list by clicking on column headers either returns an error or an empty list of results.
IJ41121	`dwcrest.war` does not use custom schema name. If a custom database schema name is specified during Dynamic Workload Console installation, the `dwcrest.war` fails to use this custom schema, instead attempting to use the default `TDWC` schema, resulting in errors during REST API operations.
IJ43952	Job priority change not retained from the Properties panels of Workload Submission pages. Changing the job priority value within the job properties panel of the Workload Submission pages does not retain the newly selected value after closing the panel. The value is reverted to the previous priority setting.
IJ44945	Dynamic Workload Console fails to display all predecessors when more than four dependencies exist. When a job in the plan has more than four predecessor dependencies, the DWC "Dependencies" view (in both Monitor Workload and the beta Monitor) fails to display the complete list. This issue is reproducible when the job's predecessors include `JOIN` or conditional dependencies. A `java.lang.ClassCastException` related to `ExternalConditionalDependencyInPlan` is logged in the `messages.log` file when this occurs.
IJ44945	Issue when displaying job predecessor within theDynamic Workload Console. The Dynamic Workload Console does not display all the predecessors of a job when there are more than four dependencies.
IJ46506	`wappman -replace` fails after modifying an imported Workload Application job. If a job definition within a Workload Application template imported with `wappman -import`is modified using the Dynamic Workload Console, subsequent attempts to update the Workload Application using the `wappman -replace` command fail.
IJ46601	Unrun dependency incorrectly shown as `ABEND` in Dynamic Workload Console. A job dependency that has not yet met its conditions and therefore has not run is sometimes incorrectly displayed as `ABEND` in the Dynamic Workload Console, while `conman` correctly displays the correct status, that is `HOLD`.
IJ46786	Job name limited to 40 characters in event rule definitions. The job name field within the event rule definition from the Workload Designer incorrectly limits input to 40 characters.
IJ47036	Conditional dependencies not shown in the Graphical View of the Workload Designer. Conditional job stream dependencies are not visually represented with connecting arrows in the Graphical View of the Workload Designer.
IJ47302	Column filters returning inaccurate results in Monitor Workload. While monitoring workstations from the Monitor Workload page, filtering a specific column using the Filter drop-down menu does not work, returning every workstation regardless the specified column.
IJ47650	Variables not visible from the Workload Designer. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.1, variables defined with a value that contains a backslash (\) are not displayed on the Workload Designer.
IJ47870	Dynamic Workload Console displays duplication or overlap issues. Occasionally, during operation, the Dynamic Workload Console displays glitches where different screen elements or views overlap or appear duplicated simultaneously, hindering usability.
IJ48321	Error modifying `r3batch` options file in Dynamic Workload Console V10.1. Attempting to edit the `r3batch` options file associated with an SAP workstation definition through the Dynamic Workload Console V10.1 results in an error, and the changes cannot be saved.
IJ48333	No results when searching objects defined within folders on archived plans using lowercase. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.1, searching for objects within a folder on archived plan does not retrieve results when the folder in the search bar is written in lowercase.
IJ48455	Saving large Job Stream View visuals as `PNG` file fails. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.1 for z/OS, when viewing a graphical map with hundred of objects in the Job Stream View, exporting the visual as a `PNG` file fails.
IJ48774	Impossibility to select all jobs or job streams in the Workspace area when Manage Roles page is open or pinned. If the Manage Roles page is open or pinned, the Name button does not select all the jobs or job streams that are open in edit mode in the Workspace area.
IJ48880	Inconsistent resolution dependency offsets between the graphical interfaces of the Dynamic Workload Console. Defining a resolution dependency with From and To time offsets yields different results depending on whether it is configured via the Workload Designer or the Manage Workload Definitions page in Dynamic Workload Console V10.1.
IJ49531	Output conditions disappear from view in the Workload Designer In the Dynamic Workload Console V10.1, output conditions defined for a job are not visible in the Workload Designer after the job definition has been saved and reopened.
IJ49531	Output conditions not visible in the Workload Designer. In the Dynamic Workload Console V10.1, after a job definition has been saved and reopened, the output conditions defined for a job are not visible in the Workload Designer.
IJ49677	`DOCOMMAND` overwritten by `SCRIPTNAME` after editing a job definition in the Dynamic Workload Console. In the Dynamic Workload Console, editing a job definition that contains both `SCRIPTNAME` and `DOCOMMAND` keywords can lead to the `DOCOMMAND` value being incorrectly overwritten by the `SCRIPTNAME` value upon saving the definition.
IJ50456	Workstation access restriction fails in Monitor Workload. Security domain rules intended to restrict user access to specific workstations are not enforced in the Monitor Workload. Jobs on the excluded workstation remain visible.
IJ51005	Dependency link removal fails in Graphical View for z/OS. In the Workload Designer, attempting to remove a dependency link between jobs within a z/OS job stream using the Remove link function of the Graphical View fails to remove the dependency.
IJ51005	Dependency link removal fails in the Graphical View of the Workload Designer for z/os job streams. In the Workload Designer, when editing a z/OS job stream in the Graphical View, the `Remove Link` action fails to remove the dependency.
IJ51132	Too many error messages in `trace.log` The Dynamic Workload Console `trace.log` file is excessively populated with `CWWKS4001I` error message during normal operations, such as listing jobs, workstations, and job streams in the Monitor Workload page.
IJ51615	Duplicate entries in Monitor Workload with security domains. When a user's access is limited by a custom security domain and an Access Control List (ACL), the Monitor Workload incorrectly displays duplicated entries for jobs and job streams.
IJ52152	Shared engine connection authentication fails in Dynamic Workload Console V10.2.x. When attempting to connect to an engine via a shared engine connection configured by an administrator in Dynamic Workload Console V10.2.x., authentication failures or errors prevent the access.
IJ52517	Incorrect start date after job stream duplication. In the Workload Designer, when duplicating a job stream and saving without any change, in the Run Cycle preview the job stream with the older "Valid from" value appears to have a schedule that continues after the "Valid to" date.
IJ52537	OK button hidden in Manage Roles page when viewing entities at 100% zoom. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.1 Fix Pack 4, within the Entities configuration window within Manage Roles page, the OK button is not visible when the browser zoom level is set to 100%, resulting in the user to zoom out to access the button.
IJ52591	Open Definition button expands unrelated job dependencies. Opening a job stream in the Workload Designer, clicking Open Definition for a specific job that has internal `FOLLOWS` dependencies incorrectly causes the dependency sections of all jobs in the stream to expand, not just the selected job.
IJ52815	Incorrect `${TWS.JOB.IA}` resolution with modified submit date. When submitting a predefined job stream ad hoc from the Dynamic Workload Console and modifying the Specified Date for the run, the `${TWS.JOB.IA}` variable resolves to the original plan date instead of the user-specified submission date.
IJ52941	Specify date and time check box fails for manually entered predefined jobs. When submitting a predefined job in Dynamic Workload Console, if the user manually types the job stream name instead of selecting it from the pick list, the Specify date and time check box cannot be activated.
IJ53045	Custom database schema name not applied to `dwcrest.war`. If a custom database schema name is specified in `configureDb.properties` during the Dynamic Workload Console installation, this custom schema name is not correctly configured within the `dwcrest.war` application, leading to REST API failures.
IJ53116	Editing dependencies within the Graphical View creates spurious links. When editing job dependencies within a job stream using the Graphical View, if saving, closing the Graphical View, and reopening it results in the unexpected creation of multiple, incorrect dependency lines between unrelated jobs.
IJ53128	Job stream positions not retained in Plan View. Within the Plan View, manually repositioning job stream graphical elements by dragging them does not persist. The layout resets to the default arrangement upon refreshing or reopening the view.
IJ53598	Estimated times missing for critical path jobs in Monitor Workload. In the Monitor Workload page, jobs on the critical path are not displaying their Estimated Start Time and Estimated End Time values.
IJ53761	`edit_add_jobstream` z/OS API fails to recognize required variables. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.2.3, using the `edit_add_jobstream` API Z connector to add a job stream that uses a variable table with `required` fields, fails. The API returns error `AWSJOM936E`, stating that a required variable is not defined, even if it is present in the variable table.
IJ53986	Unsupported character error after saving Report title with parentheses. When editing a predefined report in the Dynamic Workload Console, using parentheses `()` in the Report Title field of a Predefined Report is initially accepted. However, upon reopening the report for further editing, the Dynamic Workload Console incorrectly flags the HTML-encoded parentheses as unsupported characters and prevents saving.
IJ54479	Engine deletion using the Dynamic Workload Console API fails. Attempting to delete an engine connection using the Dynamic Workload Console REST API endpoint `DELETE /v1/engine/{engine_id}` fails. The Dynamic Workload Console server logs show an `EntityManager` query exception related to an unknown abstract schema `TdwcSapConnection` and unresolved state field paths for `tdwcPreferenceable`.
IJ54553	Calendar name incorrectly limited to 8 characters in folders. The Workload Designer incorrectly enforces an 8-character limit on calendar names, even when the calendar is being created within a non-root folder, where the limit should be 16 characters according to documentation.
IJ54822	`undefined` word appears appended to job names with hyphens. In the Dynamic Workload Console, job names containing hyphens are sometimes displayed with the word `undefined` appended to the actual job name.
IJ55080	Job Dependency Picker Shows Base Name Instead of Alias. When adding a job dependency in the Workload Designer, the dialog incorrectly displays the base job definition names instead of the job aliases specified using the `AS` keyword in the job stream definition.
IJ55090	Search bar ignores folder context in the Workload Designer. In the Workload Designer, the search bar consistently searches across all objects in the database, even when a specific folder is selected. The expected behavior is for the search to be scoped to the currently selected folder.
IJ55091	Clearing search bar shows all objects instead of folder contents. In the Workload Designer, if a search is performed while within a specific folder and the search term is subsequently cleared, the view incorrectly displays all objects from all folders instead of reverting to show only the contents of the currently selected folder.
IJ55098	Variable search limited to 250 results in Workload Designer. The variable search function within the Workload Designer is limited to displaying a maximum of 250 results, without indicating if more variables match the search criteria.
IJ55129	Double quotes around wildcards cause argument display issue. In the Workload Designer, defining a job task command with an argument containing a wildcard enclosed in double quotes, for example `"/path/"*"`, causes the argument to become invisible in the Dynamic Workload Console after saving and reopening the job definition. The argument remains correctly stored, as verified by `composer`.
IJ55257	Column sorting fails in Advanced filter results of the Workload Designer. In the Workload Designer, when using the Advanced filter to list objects, clicking on column headers to sort the results does not function and the order of the items remains unchanged.
IJ55366	Recovery job path incorrectly modified in Dynamic Workload Console Properties view. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.2.2, opening the properties window for a job that includes a recovery job definition incorrectly removes the folder path separators ("/") from the recovery job's workstation and job name fields. This causes subsequent job submission attempts to fail with authorization error AWSJCO026E.
IJ55421	Pagination issue in the Workload Designer. In the Workload Designer, when viewing objects within a specific folder that span multiple pages, navigating to any page beyond the first incorrectly displays all objects from the database, ignoring the selected folder context.
IJ55431	Items per page setting ineffective above 10 in Workload Designer. In the Workload Designer, setting the Items per page display option to a value greater than 10 does not take effect, and the view continues to display only 10 items per page.
IJ55520	Filter reset issue after clicking the Refresh button in the Advanced filter results page. In the Workload Designer, after performing a search using Advanced filter panel, and then clicking the Refresh button, the filter criteria are incorrectly reset.
IJ55725	Job frequency setting lost when changing Priority in Monitor Workload. Modifying the priority of a job using the Properties action within the Monitor Workload page incorrectly removes the defined Repeat Every setting of the job.
IJ55751	Dynamic Workload Console screen goes blank after login. After having modified a dashboard, the Dynamic Workload Console screen becomes blank immediately after user login.
IJ55862	Dynamic Workload Console upgrade failure due to password decode error. Upgrading Dynamic Workload Console from V10.2.3 to V10.2.5 fails with a password decode error. This occurs during the Liberty server configuration phase.
IJ55867	SSL settings lost when using legacy V9.5 Workload Designer with V10.1 engine. Modifying object definitions for a V10.1 engine using the legacy 9.5 Workload Designer within Dynamic Workload Console V10.1 can cause the loss of SSL configuration settings, such as `SECURE ADDR` and `SECURITYLEVEL`.
IJ55869	Engine connection option missing with German browser language. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.2.4 and V10.2.5, selecting "Deutsch" (German) as the browser language causes the Engine Connection option to be absent from the Monitor Workload page. The issue does not occur when the browser language is set to English.
IJ56043	Folder path length incorrectly limited in Dynamic Workload Console. When using the Workload Designer to create a job stream within a nested folder structure as `/folder/subfolder/`, the Dynamic Workload Console incorrectly enforces a 40-character limit on the total folder path length, preventing the creation or saving of the object.
IJ56156	Dynamic Workload Console focus jumps when using shared connections. In the Workload Designer, when a user is logged in via a shared engine connection, selecting a job stream that contains cross-folder dependencies causes the Dynamic Workload Console focus to jump to the top of the screen. This behavior prevents the user from successfully selecting and viewing or editing job stream properties.
IJ56157	Bookmark option missing with sole z/OS engine connection. The Bookmark functionality is unavailable in the Dynamic Workload Console V10.1.x and V10.2.x when the only connected engine is a z/OS engine.
IJ56161	Cleartext credentials returned in HTTP responses. The Dynamic Workload Console returns unnecessary user information in HTTP responses.
IJ56361	`planman deploy` crash after removing all values from multi-select field. Editing an event rule in Dynamic Workload Console V10.1.x and removing all selected values from a multi-select field (for example Status, Internal Status) causes the `planman deploy -scratch` command to fail. The Dynamic Workload Console incorrectly saves the field with no values instead of removing the field attribute entirely.
IJ56394	The Dynamic Workload Console crashes when adding dependencies in the Graphical View of the Workload Designer The Dynamic Workload Console crashes when using the Graphical View of the Workload Designer. The crash often occurs when attempting to create an internal dependency, particularly when adding a dependency to a newly created job that has not yet been saved.
IJ56444	REST API call to add JCL operation fails with `null` parameter exception. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.2.2, running a `POST` request to the REST API endpoint `/v1/<engine>/model/jcl` to add a JCL operation fails. The API returns an internal error, which reports the message `"obj parameter must not be null"`.
IJ56458	Incorrect dependency display for migrated job streams in Dynamic Workload Console V10.2.4. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.2.4, selecting job dependencies within job stream definitions migrated from V10.2.2 incorrectly displays job stream properties instead of the dependency details. This issue occurs in both view and edit modes, although the underlying object definition remains correct when checked via `conman`.
IJ56461	Password field lacks warning for character limit. The Dynamic Workload Console password field truncates any typed or pasted input to 31 characters, without providing an error or warning message to inform the user that the password has exceeded the maximum allowed length.
IJ56462	Filters selected on workstation queries saved as datasources are not persisted. In Dynamic Workload Console V10.1 and V10.2, filters applied to a workstation query saved as datasource are not retained. After saving and reopening the datasource, the settings revert to their previous state.
IJ56465	Sorting filtered jobs or files yields empty display and an error message. In the Dynamic Workload Console, sorting columns after filtering jobs or files results in an empty display and the error message AWSUI0833E, indicating a communication failure. This occurs specifically when using certain dependency filters or viewing jobs dependent on a file.
KB0110550	REST API V2 swagger documentation lacks examples for ad hoc job submission `task` body. The Swagger documentation for the REST API V2 endpoint `POST /twsd/api/v2/plan/job/submit-ad-hoc-job` provides an empty JSON object (`{}`) as the example value for the mandatory `task` field, but the `task` body requires different, complex JSON structures depending on the job type.
KB0118763	Cannot view or edit shadow jobs in Workload Designer. An error occurs in the Workload Designer when attempting to view or edit newly created shadow jobs (both z/OS and distributed types). This issue occurs whether the job is defined using `composer` or directly from the Dynamic Workload Console.
KB0123237	`[Perf]` messages within the `message.log` file of the Dynamic Workload Console. In the `message.log` file of the Dynamic Workload Console, many `[Perf]` messages appear.
KB0123694	SAP jobs fail on extended agent after V10.2.4 encryption update. In IBM Workload Scheduler V10.2.4, SAP jobs on an extended agent fail with error `EEWO0012E "The extended agent could not be initialized"`.
KB0124683	Run Cycle Preview calendar header displays incorrect date. In the Workload Designer, when previewing a run cycle calendar , the date displayed in the header of the preview header is incorrect.
KB0124970	Broker fails to update agent resource deletion. When a resource is deleted from an agent, the broker fails to update its records and continues to retain the old resource information. This outdated information causes the broker to incorrectly assign jobs to the wrong agent if a dynamic pool is configured to use the deleted resource.

Defects

The following defect has been resolved in IBM Workload Scheduler version 10.2.6:

WA-151215: In Dynamic Workload Console versions 10.2.4 and 10.2.5, the Delete button for actions and events within an event rule does not appear.

"type":"job",
"labelId":"MW_RERUN",
"show":["RERUN_TYPE_ROW"],
"cleanUpTemplatePolicy": ["jobDefinitionDbIdentifier","jobDefinitionDbKey","priority","rerunJobOnSameWorkstation","startTime","stepName"],
"order":4
Under the "labelId" field, add the following parameter:
"actualWorkstationField" : "jobruns.?lastInRerunChain==true.actualWorkstation"
Delete the cache folder located in the following path:
/opt/wa/TWA/usr/servers/engineServer/apps/TWSEngineModel.ear/WD.war/WEB-INF
Delete the monitorWorkloadCache folder located in the following path:
/opt/wa/DWC/usr/servers/dwcServer/dwc_workarea

Removed the prefilled value for the Job stream field in Submit Predefined Job
To resolve APAR IJ52941 in version 10.2.6, the prefilled value /JOBS was removed from the Job stream field of Submit Predefined Job.
Workaround
Since the job stream field is no longer automatically populated, you must manually enter the value.
Issue while opening Alter User Password in Plan page.
When selecting the Alter User Password in Plan page, the User Object Credentials Management page opens instead.
Workaround
To workaround the issue, perform the following steps:
Browse to /opt/wa/DWC/usr/servers/dwcServer/apps/DWC-10.2.6.00-SNAPSHOT.ear/TWSWebUI.war/html.
Open the scaffold_page_definition.json file.
In the "alter-user-pwd" section, replace "widgetType": "alterUserPasswordChangePage" with the following parameter:
"link": "/html/changepassword/ChangePassword.jsp"

Blank lines in Design menu after update

After updating the Dynamic Workload Console to version 10.2.6, blank lines can appear between items in the Design menu, corresponding to the pages of the Workload Definitions section that were removed in V10.2.6 release. This issue occurs if custom roles created in a previous version reference menu items that are now removed.

Workaround

From the Manage Roles page, open any custom role, then save without making any change. After saving, the blank lines corresponding to the removed Workload Definitions pages disappear.

Issues on the Job Stream view when using Firefox browser

On Firefox browser, some functions of the Multiple selection option on the Job stream view might not work.

Restart action fails with wildcards

When monitoring a File Transfer job from the Dynamic Workload Console, the Workflow Details panel displays information about the transfer of individual files. If you use wildcards instead of a specific file name and the job step fails, you cannot restart the step.

Workaround

You can rerun the entire job using the Rerun button in the Monitor jobs panel.

Workload Security reconfiguration required for User Object Credential Management page

To use the User Object Credential Management page, users require at least one of the following security permissions:

Design and monitor workload: User Objects - Modify (userobj access=modify)
Modify plan: Alter user password (userobj - altpass)

SAP jobs and Shadow jobs cannot be created nor edited from the Graphical Designer

SAP and Shadow job definitions cannot be created nor edited from the Graphical Designer.

Japanese characters might display incorrectly in job logs on Windows for Dynamic Workload Console and fault-tolerant agents

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.

Workaround

To resolve this issue, set a Windows environment variable that points to the IBM Workload Scheduler home directory, for example:

TWS_TISDIR=C:\FTA\TWS

Impossibility to generate reports on Dynamic Workload Console installed on z/OS systems

The generation of reports in the Dynamic Workload Console fails when the Dynamic Workload Console is installed on z/OS systems.

Federator does not always perform the automatic clean up of archived records

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.

Workaround

To delete those records, you must run the extend command, or perform a plan refresh.

Federator does not clean up database from old engines

Old engines that are stored by the Federator into the database used, if any, are not deleted.

Workaround

To delete those records, you must manually run a query on the database.

Discovered z/OS engines are only usable in the Orchestration Monitor

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.

Package structure

For a detailed list of available packages, see the 10.2.6 Quick Start Guide document available from IBM Fix Central.

Installing and upgrading to version 10.2.6

This section describes how to install and upgrade the Dynamic Workload Console to version 10.2.6.

Before getting started, verify that the following requirements are met:

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.

Software requirements for WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base

WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base adopts a continuous delivery model where new versions are deployed on a monthly basis.

During formal testing, IBM Workload Scheduler and the Dynamic Workload Console were tested using WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base version 25.0.0.11. The minimum required version to successfully install the product is 25.0.0.9

For the Dynamic Workload Console installed in a z/OS environment, testing was conducted using WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base version 25.0.0.9, which is also the minimum required version for that configuration.

For more information about which subsequent versions of WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base can be used in the future, see Recommended updates for WebSphere Application Server.

Installation notes

If you plan to perform a fresh installation with WebSphere Application Server Liberty 26.0.0.3 or later, set the SECUREWRAP_PASSPHRASE environment variable to a custom passphrase of your choice before you run the installation command. If you are upgrading IBM Workload Scheduler or WebSphere Application Server Liberty, no action is required. For more information, see IWS 10.2.x earlier than 10.2.7 returns installation failure with Liberty 26.0.0.3.
Ensure you have installed the required prerequisite software. To obtain the latest information about software requirements for IBM Workload Scheduler, run the Detailed System Requirements report and browse to the relevant section.
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:
```
<ssl id="twaSSLSettings" keyStoreRef="twaKeyStore" trustStoreRef="twaTrustStore" 
sslProtocol="TLSv1.2" clientAuthenticationSupported="true" verifyHostname="false"/>
```
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 24.0.0.8: See Dynamic Workload Console is not able to open "Monitor Event Rules" nor "Manage workload security" with OpenID authentication

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 version 10.2.6. 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.

Browse to the datasource.xml template.

Open the file with a text editor and perform the following changes:

Add the lines listed below after the db.driver.path parameter:

<variable name="db.encrypt" value="false"/>
<variable name="db.trustServerCertificate" value="false"/>

Append the following strings at the end of the value of the mssql.URL parameter:
```
;encrypt=${db.encrypt};trustServerCertificate=${db.trustServerCertificate}
```

Add the lines listed below after the integratedSecurity parameter:

encrypt="${db.encrypt}"
trustServerCertificate="${db.trustServerCertificate}"

The resulting file looks as follows. The modified sections are highlighted in bold:

...	
	<variable name="db.driver.path" value="<db_driver_path>"/>
	<variable name="db.encrypt" value="false"/>
	<variable name="db.trustServerCertificate" value="false"/>
	<variable name="mssql.URL" value="jdbc:sqlserver://${db.serverName}:${db.portNumber};databaseName=${db.databaseName}
       ;encrypt=${db.encrypt};trustServerCertificate=${db.trustServerCertificate}"/>
