Automatically installing plug-ins by running job types with advanced options on dynamic agents
Automatically installing plug-ins by running job types with advanced options on dynamic agents
In HCL Workload Automation previous versions, when you define a job type with advanced options on a dynamic agent workstation, if the plug-in that needs to run the job is not installed on that agent, the job fails and you need manually install the plug-in and then rerun the job. If the plug-in version is older than the version installed in the master domain manager, you manually install the later plug-in version.
From IBMIBM® Workload Scheduler V9.3, if you
define a job type with advanced options on a dynamic agent workstation, when the job runs, you
have the following scenarios:
- Plug-in is not installed on that agent:
- The dynamic agent automatically connects to the master domain manager workstation, it downloads, installs, and configures on the dynamic agent workstation the needed plug-in. After the installation, thejob type with advanced options runs successfully.
- Plug-in is installed on that agent, but the plug-in version is older:
- The dynamic agent automatically connects to the master domain manager workstation, downloads, and installs on the dynamic agent workstation the later plug-in version. The dynamic agent workstation is not restarted even if the plug-in is already started.
