HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Finding out what has been installed in which HCL Workload Automation instances

About this task

If you are not the installer of HCL Workload Automation and its components, you might not know what components have been installed, and in which instances of HCL Workload Automation. Follow this procedure to find out:
  1. Access the following directory:
    UNIX and Linux operating systems
    /etc/TWA
    Windows operating systems
    %windir%\TWA
  2. List the contents of the directory. Each HCL Workload Automation instance is represented by a file called: twainstance<instance_number>.TWA.properties. These files are deleted when all the products or components in an instance are uninstalled, so the number of files present indicates the number of valid instances currently in use.
  3. Open a file in a text viewer.
    Attention: Do not edit the contents of this file, unless directed to do so by HCL Software Support. Doing so might invalidate your HCL Workload Automation environment.
    The contents are similar to this: 
    TWS_version=9.3.0.0
DB2_basePath=/home/db2inst1/sqllib
DB2_IS_SERVER=TRUE
EWas_basePath=/opt/HCL/WebSphere/AppServer
DB2_INSTANCE_PORT=50000
TWS_counter=1
EWas_counter=1
TWA_path=/opt/tws/tws
TWS_server_name=bvtserver
DB2_ADMINISTRATOR_NAME=db2inst1
TWS_instance_type=MDM
EWas_profile_path=/opt/tws/tws/Appserver/profiles/TWSProfile
EWas_node_name=TWSNode
TWS_basePath=/opt/tws/tws/TWS
EWas_user=tws
EWas_cell_name=TWSCell
EWas_version=8.5.5.4
DB2_version=10.5.0.0
EWas_server_name=server1
EWas_update_installer_dir=
TWS_LAST_COMMITED_LEVEL_KEY=9.3.0.00
TWS_user_name=tws
TWS_FIX_LIST_KEY=
DB2_INSTANCE_NAME=db2inst1
DB2_counter=1
TWA_componentList=TWS,EWas,DB2
EWas_isc_version_key=8.5.5.4
EWas_profile_name=BVTProfile
EWas_service_name=IBMWAS85Service - tws
    The important keys to interpret in this file are:
    TWA_path
    This is the base path, to which the installation added one or more of the following directories, depending on what was installed:
    TWS
    Where the HCL Workload Automation component is installed
    TWAUI
    Where the Dynamic Workload Console is installed
    WAS
    Where the WebSphere Application Server is installed
    wastools
    Where the tools that you use to configure the WebSphere Application Server are installed
    ssm
    Where the Netcool® SSM monitoring agent is installed (used in event management)
    TWA_componentList
    Lists the components installed in the instance of HCL Workload Automation
    TWS_counter
    Indicates if a HCL Workload Automation component is installed in this instance of HCL Workload Automation (when the value=1)
    TWS_instance_type
    Indicates which component of HCL Workload Automation is installed in this instance:
    MDM
    Master domain manager
    BKM
    Backup master domain manager
    DDM
    dynamic domain manager
    BDDM
    Backup dynamic domain manager
    FTA
    Fault-tolerant agent or domain manager
    TDWC_counter
    Indicates if an instance of Dynamic Workload Console is installed in this instance of HCL Workload Automation (when the value=1)
    EWas_counter
    Indicates how many applications are installed in this instance of HCL Workload Automation that access the WebSphere Application Server.
    TWS_user_name
    The ID of the <TWS_user> of the HCL Workload Automation component.
    EWas_user
    The ID of the administration user of the WebSphere Application Server. For a default installation, this is the same as the <TWS_user>.
    The only component of HCL Workload Automation which is installed in a HCL Workload Automation instance, but which is not explicitly indicated here, is the Connector. To determine if it has been installed, look at the following combinations of keys:
    Agent installed with no Connector
    TWS_counter=1  
EWas_counter=  
TWS_instance_type=FTA
TDWC_counter= 
TWA_componentList=TWS
    Agent installed with Connector
    TWS_counter=1  
EWas_counter=1  
TWS_instance_type=FTA
TDWC_counter= 
TWA_componentList=TWS,EWas
    Agent installed with no Connector and Dynamic Workload Console
    TWS_counter=1  
EWas_counter=1  
TWS_instance_type=FTA
TDWC_counter=1 
TWA_componentList=TWS,EWas,TDWC
    Agent installed with Connector and Dynamic Workload Console
    TWS_counter=1  
EWas_counter=2  
TWS_instance_type=FTA
TDWC_counter=1 
TWA_componentList=TWS,EWas,TDWC
    Note: The only difference between these last two is that the EWas_counter is 2 instead of 1.
