Resolved Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
- CVE-2024-24790
- CVE-2024-34155
- CVE-2024-34156
- CVE-2024-34158
- CVE-2024-47554

Known limitations and workarounds
The following are software limitations and workarounds that affect Dynamic Workload Console 10.2.3:
Unexpected duplicate entries in database indexes when upgrading and using a PostgreSQL database
Duplicate entries may unexpectedly appear in database indexes when performing an upgrade and using a PostgreSQL database.
Jobs and dependencies in job streams might not be displayed when using composer displayor extract commands with a PostgreSQL database
While job and dependency information exists in the database, it might not be visible when using the composer display or extract commands with a PostgreSQL database. This issue is purely visual and does not affect job scheduling: job streams and their respective jobs continue to run as expected when loaded into the plan. The defect solely impacts how job stream details are displayed.
- SAP jobs not found in the Graphical Designer
- SAP job definitions created on dynamic agents from composer cannot be edited in the Graphical Designer, as no results are found in the Assets panel when searching for SAP job definitions.
- Shadow jobs not found in the Graphical Designer
- Shadow job definitions created on dynamic agents from composer cannot be edited in the Graphical Designer, as no results are found in the Assets panel when searching for shadow job definitions.
- Job streams dragged into the Graphical Designer workspace keep loading
- Job streams might remain in a loading state when they are dragged from the Assets panel into the workspace.
- Updating the Scheduled Time for Job Streams in Time Properties is not successful if connected to a z/OS engine
- In the Orchestration Monitor page, when you modify the scheduled time for a job stream in the Time Properties section, the change is not effective. To update the scheduled time for a job stream you must use the ISPF panels.
- The Federator does not clean up database from archived records and old engines
- Archived records that are stored by the Federator into the database used, if any, are not deleted according to the cleanup policy set in the fed_variables.xml file. To delete those records, you must manually run a query on the database.
- The Federator does not support Db2 for z/OS
- You can use the Federator with all databases supported by the Dynamic Workload Console, with the exception of Db2 for z/OS.
- Updating the Time Restrictions for a Job is not successful if connected to a z/OS engine
- In the Orchestration Monitor page, when you modify any values from the Time Restrictions section related to a job, the change is not effective. To update the time restrictions for a job you must use ISPF panels.
- 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.
- Issue while saving a Snowflake plug-in job
- While attempting to save a Snowflake plug-in job definition, an error occurs resulting in the job definition not being saved.
- Issue while saving an Apache Airflow plug-in job
- While attempting to save an Apache Airflow plug-in job definition, an error occurs resulting in the job definition not being saved.
- 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.

Package structure
For a detailed list of available packages, see the 10.2.3 Quick Start Guide document available from IBM Fix Central.
Installing and upgrading to version 10.2.3
This section describes how to install and upgrade the Dynamic Workload Console to version 10.2.3.
- 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
-
- 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.
- The formal test phase was performed using WebSphere Application Server Liberty 24.0.0.9. The minimum required WebSphere Application Server Liberty version to successfully install the package is 24.0.0.9.
- 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.
- 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
- 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:
The resulting file looks as follows. The modified sections are highlighted in bold:encrypt="${db.encrypt}" trustServerCertificate="${db.trustServerCertificate}"... <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=${db.trustServerCertificate}"/> <jndiEntry value="MSSQL" jndiName="db.type" /> ... integratedSecurity="false" encrypt="${db.encrypt}" trustServerCertificate="${db.trustServerCertificate}"
- Add the lines listed below after the db.driver.path parameter:
- Stop and restart WebSphere Application Server Liberty to make the changes effective.
