HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

BrokerWorkstation.properties file

If you need to make configuration changes to the broker server after the installation has completed, you can edit the BrokerWorkstation.properties file. The BrokerWorkstation.properties file contains the following configuration properties:
DomainManager.Workstation.Name
The name of the domain manager workstation.
DomainManager.Workstation.Port
The port of the domain manager workstation.
MasterDomainManager.Name
The name of the master domain manager workstation.
Broker.Workstation.Name
The name of the broker server in the HCL Workload Automation production plan. This name is first assigned at installation time.
MasterDomainManager.HostName
The host name of the master domain manager workstation.
MasterDomainManager.HttpsPort
The HTTPS port of the master domain manager workstation.
Broker.Workstation.Port
The port used by the broker server to listen to the incoming traffic (equivalent to the Netman port). It is first assigned at installation time. This port number must always be the same for all the broker servers that you define in your HCL Workload Automation network (one with the master domain manager and one with every backup master you install) to ensure consistency when you switch masters.
DomainManager.Workstation.Domain
The name of the domain where the broker server is registered.
Broker.AuthorizedCNs
The list of prefixes of common names authorized to communicate with the broker server. For more information about authorizing the connection to the dynamic domain manager, see Customizing the SSL connection between a master domain manager and a dynamic domain manager or its backup by using your certificates.
Broker.Workstation.Enable
A switch that enables or disables the broker server. The value can be true or false. The default value is true.

Set this value to false if you decide not to use a broker server. Not using the broker server means that you can submit jobs dynamically on the dynamic workload broker directly (using either the Dynamic Workload Console or the dynamic workload broker command line) without using the scheduling facilities of HCL Workload Automation.

Broker.Workstation.CpuType
The workstation type assigned to the broker server. Supported values are:
  • master domain manager (master)
  • backup master domain manager (fta)
  • dynamic domain manager (fta, broker, agent)
  • backup dynamic domain manager (fta, broker, agent)
Broker.Workstation.RetryLink
The number of seconds between consecutive attempts to link to the broker server. The default is 600.

Note that no SSL security is available for the connection between the master domain manager and the broker server. All the data between the two workstations is sent unencrypted. If this might cause a security risk in your environment, you can choose not to use the broker server functions, by setting Broker.Workstation.Enable to false.
