HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Configuring an engine connection

Define a distributed engine connection or use an existing connection for the Application Lab.

About this task

The Application Lab connects to an existing Dynamic Workload Console through this engine connection. You can create a new engine connection or use an existing definition. To allow Application Lab users to automatically connect to the engine when they sign in to Application Lab, share the credentials of the engine with all the Application Lab users who access it as well as sharing the engine connection itself. If the Dynamic Workload Console is configured in single sign-on, then the user ID and password are not required.

For information about configuring the Dynamic Workload Console to use single sign-on, see Configuring Dynamic Workload Console to use Single Sign-On.

Procedure

From the navigation toolbar, click System Configuration > Manage Engines .
Click New.
In Engine Name, type the name for the connection you are creating.
In Engine Type, select Distributed.
In Host Name , type the host name or TCP/IP address of the computer where the HCL Workload Automation engine is installed. The default is localhost.
In Port Number, leave the default value.
In the Connection Credentials section, enter the user ID and password required to establish a connection to the engine. If the Dynamic Workload Console is configured in single sign-on, you can leave these fields blank.
Select Share credentials to share the engine connection with the users of Application Lab.
Click OK to save the connection.
Select the new engine connection in the table and click Share to share the engine.

Results

You have now defined a new engine connection that is necessary to generate an access URL for those users who need to access the Application Lab.
