HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

HCL Workload Automation dynamic domain manager configuration

About this task

Note: This panel appears for the installation and upgrade processes, if you are performing an upgrade, you are not required to insert or you cannot see some of the following fields.

Complete the following HCL Workload Automation data fields.

Enter the configuration information for the dynamic domain manager installation:
Configure this dynamic domain manager as backup
By default, this box is left clear. If you check this box, the installation process configures the dynamic domain manager installation as backup.
Do you want to connect the Dynamic Domain Manager only to the z/OS controller?
Only for dynamic domain manager.
Select this check box if you want to connect the dynamic domain manager only to the z/OS controller. Leave the check box clear to connect the dynamic domain manager to:
  • A master domain manager
  • Both a master domain manager and a z/OS controller
If you connect the dynamic domain manager only to a z/OS controller, you must create a lightweight end-to-end scheduling environment where the IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS manages the scheduling workload on distributed systems. To complete this environment you must install a IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent. For a detailed explanation about how to install the IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent, see the IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS: Planning and Installation Guide. If you select the check box the following fields are disabled:
  • Domain name
  • This workstation name
  • Master domain manager workstation name
  • Dynamic domain manager port (used by Netman)
  • Master domain manager host name
  • Master domain manager HTTPS port
Domain name
Only for a dynamic domain manager connected to a z/OS controller or to a master domain manager or both. Applies only to dynamic domain manager. Specify the HCL Workload Automation domain name managed by the dynamic domain manager. The default value is DYNAMICDM.
This workstation name
Only for connecting the Dynamic Domain Manager only to the z/OS controller. The name of the workstation on which you are installing the instance. The default is the hostname of the workstation. Spaces are not allowed and the maximum field length is 16 characters. If the host name is longer than 16 characters, an alternative name must be provided for a successful installation. It can contain alphanumeric, dash (-), and underscore (_) characters. The first character must be a letter. This workstation name and master domain manager workstation name values must not be the same.
dynamic domain manager
The name of the HCL Workload Automation workstation known in the database as fta. Configure it as manager by performing the procedure described in Configuring a dynamic domain manager.
dynamic domain manager configured as backup
The name of the HCL Workload Automation workstation known in the database as fta. Configure it as fta by performing the procedure described in Configuration steps for a dynamic domain manager configured as backup.
Master domain manager workstation name
Only for dynamic domain manager connected to a z/OS controller and a distributed environment or a distributed environment. The name of the master domain manager workstation. Spaces are not allowed and the maximum field length is 16 characters. The first character cannot be numeric. This workstation name and master domain manager workstation name values must not be the same.
Dynamic domain manager port (used by Netman)
Only for dynamic domain manager connected to a z/OS controller and a distributed environment or a distributed environment The port used by the Netman process to manage distributed environment. Netman is the network process that controls the production environment. The default value is 31111. The valid range is from 1 to 65535.
Note: If you change this value, all default port number values in the application server port information panel are changed to reflect the new range. For example, if you specify 42111 as TCP/IP port number, the default for HTTP transport becomes 42125, the default for HTTPS becomes 42126, and so on.
Master domain manager host name
Only for dynamic domain manager connected to a z/OS controller and a distributed environment or a distributed environment The fully qualified host name on which the dynamic domain manager contacts the master domain manager.
Master domain manager HTTPS port
Only for dynamic domain manager connected to a z/OS controller and a distributed environment or a distributed environment. The port for the secure HTTP transport. The dynamic agent component installed on the dynamic domain manager instance uses this port to connect to the dynamic workload broker installed on the master domain manager instance. The default value is 31116. If you leave the field blank, it defaults to 0. The valid range is from 1 to 65535.
Enter the configuration information for the dynamic scheduling
Host name or IP address
The host name or IP address of the dynamic agent component installed in the dynamic domain manager instance. The dynamic workload broker and the IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS controller use this address to connect to the dynamic agent.
Dynamic agent workstation name
The name of the dynamic agent workstation definition.
Dynamic agent port
The dynamic agent secure port number (SECUREADDR). The HCL Workload Automation for z/OS controller and the Dynamic workload broker use this port to connect to the HCL Workload Automation dynamic agent. The default value is 31114. The valid range is from 1 to 65535.
Enable the HTTPS communication for the JobManager port
This option enables HTTPS communication between the local Dynamic workload broker and the dynamic agent. For secure connections, it is recommended that you use HTTPS. To use HTTP communication, leave this box clear.
Enter the information to identify the Dynamic workload broker scheduling component. This is used by HCL Workload Automation to run jobs dynamically
Only for dynamic domain manager.
Dynamic workload broker workstation name
Only for dynamic domain manager. The definition of the Dynamic workload broker workstation created in the HCL Workload Automation database. Spaces are not allowed and the maximum field length is 16 characters. It can contain alphanumeric, dash (-), and underscore (_) characters. The first character must be a letter.

The Dynamic workload broker workstation acts as the communication bridge between the dynamic domain manager and the local Dynamic workload broker component. In your job or job stream definitions, it is the workstation on which the jobs run. In this way, you submit your workload through this workstation to the Dynamic workload broker component.

Dynamic workload broker Netman port
Only for dynamic domain manager. The port used by the HCL Workload Automation dynamic domain manager to communicate with the local Dynamic workload broker component. The default value is 41114. The valid range is from 1 to 65535.
