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:
- Access the following directory:
- UNIX and Linux operating systems
- /etc/TWA
- Windows operating systems
- %windir%\TWA
- 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.
- 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>.
- 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.
