HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Enabling dynamic scheduling after installation

This section describes the procedure that you must follow to enable dynamic scheduling if you upgrade the product, both the master and the agent, without enabling the dynamic scheduling capabilities. For example, you upgraded the product in the following ways:

Using the installation wizard

You did not select one or both of the following options:

Enable the dynamic scheduling capabilities, when upgrading the master
Dynamic agent, when upgrading the agent.

Using twsinst, when upgrading the agent

You did not specify the -tdwbport tdwbport_number and -tdwbhostname host_name.

To enable dynamic scheduling, perform the following steps:

In the tws_home/TDWB/config/BrokerWorkstation.properties file, modify the values of the following properties according to the values that you specified at upgrade time:
```
Broker.Workstation.Name= workstation_name_DWB
Broker.Workstation.Port= port_number
MasterDomainManager.HostName= host_name
MasterDomainManager.Name= workstation_name
Broker.AuthorizedCNs=server1; ... ;servern
```
where:
Broker.Workstation.Name=workstation_name_DWB

It is the master domain manager workstation name followed by _DWB. You can modify this value including the _DWB suffix.

Broker.Workstation.Port=port_number
It is the port on the workload broker workstation used by the HCL Workload Automation master domain manager to communicate with dynamic workload broker. You can specify any value. The default value is 41114 if the Netman port number is 31111. The valid range is from 1 to 65535. If you changed the Netman port number, the Broker.Workstation.Port port_number is calculated as:
```
netman_port_number+10003
```
MasterDomainManager.HostName=host_name

It is the fully qualified host name on which the master domain manager will be contacted by the agents.

MasterDomainManager.Name=workstation_name

It is the master domain manager workstation name.

Broker.AuthorizedCNs=server1; ... ;servern

It is the list of prefixes of common names included in the master domain manager certificates authorized to communicate with the broker server. For more information about authorizing the connection to the server, see sections Customizing the SSL connection to the master domain manager and dynamic domain manager section in the HCL Workload Automation: Administration Guide.

On the master domain manager, verify the current value of the httpsPort by running the showHostProperties wastool. The default value is 31116. The following is an example output:

################################################################
# Ports Configuration Panel
################################################################
bootPort=31117
bootHost=nynewhost.romelab.myorg.it.com
soapPort=31118
soapHost=mynewhost.romelab.it.myorg.com
httpPort=31115
httpHost=*
httpsPort=31116
............

On the master domain manager and on every agent that is connected to the workload broker server, update the JobManager.ini configuration file located under:
- On Windows operating systems:
```
tws_home\TWS\ITA\cpa\config\JobManager.ini
```
- On UNIX and Linux operating systems:
```
tws_home/TWS/ITA/cpa/config/JobManager.ini
```
by assigning to the tdwb_hostname and tdwb_httpsport variables contained in the ResourceAdvisorUrl property, the following values:
tdwb_hostname

Specify the fully qualified host name of the workload broker server

tdwb_httpsport

Specify the value that the httpsPort has on the master domain manager as shown by the showHostPorperties wastool. The default is 31116, which is the dynamic workload broker port number. The port is currently set to zero because at installation time you specified that you would not use the dynamic workload broker.
The ResourceAdvisorUrl property has the following syntax:
```
ResourceAdvisorUrl = https://<tdwb_hostname>:<tdwb_httpsport>
/JobManagerRESTWeb/JobScheduler/resource
```
Start the dynamic workload broker component by running the startBrokerApplication.sh wastool as follows:
```
/<TWS_home>/wastools/startBrokerApplication.sh -user user_name
-password password 
```
where:
user_name

Specifies the name of the WebSphere® Application Server.

password

Specifies the password of the WebSphere Application Server.
On the master domain manager and on every agent of your network that you want to connect to the workload broker server, start the HCL Workload Automation agent by running the following command from the TWS_home directory:
- On Windows operating systems:
```
StartUpLwa.cmd
```
- On UNIX and Linux operating systems:
```
StartUpLwa
```

This is an example of BrokerWorkstation.properties file.
