Creating a basic URL

About this task

To create a basic URL, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Define the URL to access the Dynamic Workload Console: 
    https://{WebUIHostname:adminSecurePort}
/DASH_context_root/xLaunch.do?pageID=com.ibm.tws.
WebUI.External.navigation&showNavArea=false

    where:

    WebUIHostname
    It is the fully qualified hostname or the IP address of the computer where the Dynamic Workload Console is installed.
    adminSecurePort
    It is the number of the port on which the Dynamic Workload Console is listening.
    DASH_context_root
    It is the Dashboard Application Services Hub context root defined at installation time. The context root determines the URL of a deployed application and by default is identical with the application directory or archive structure. In this case, the default is ibm/console.

    Example

    https://mypc:29443/hcl/console/xLaunch.do?pageID=com.ibm.tws.WebUI.
External.navigation&showNavArea=false
  2. Specify the action that you want to run, by specifying the corresponding parameter:
    &action
    It indicates the action that you want to perform and can have one of the following values:
    • BrowseJobs
    • ZBrowseJobs
    • BrowseJobStreams
    • BrowseCriticalJobs
    • BrowseWorkstation
    • InternalTask
  3. Specify the engine on which you want to run the query, by entering its parameters:
    &hostname
    For distributed environments, it is the host name or TCP/IP address of the computer on which the HCL Workload Automation engine is installed. For z/OS® environments, it is the host name or TCP/IP address of the computer on which the z/OS connector is installed.
    &port
    The port number that is used to connect to the computer on which the HCL Workload Automation engine or the z/OS connector is installed. Typically, the default port numbers are:
    Table 1. Default port numbers
    Port number Engine
    31117 HCL Workload Automation distributed engine
    31127 HCL Workload Automation for z/OS engine with z/OS connector V.8.3
    31217 HCL Workload Automation for z/OS engine with z/OS connector V.8.5 or higher
    2809 HCL Workload Automation for z/OS with z/OS connector on z/OS WebSphere Application Server  
    16312 HCL Workload Automation for z/OS engine V. 9.1
    &server
    It applies to z/OS systems only and is mandatory. It is the name of the remote server of the engine as it was specified in the z/OS connector.

    Example 

    &hostname = webuidev&port = 31217&server = C851
