Using utility commands in the dynamic environment
This chapter describes HCL Workload Automation utility commands for the dynamic environment. While some commands run on the master domain manager or on a dynamic domain manager, others run on the agents. They are installed in path TWA_home/TDWB/bin, with the exceptions listed below, and run with the UNIX and Windows operating systems. You run utility commands from the operating system command prompt except the jobprop utility that you can use only in a job definition as described in Passing variables set by using jobprop in one job to another in the same job stream instance.
Table 1 contains the list of the utility
commands, and for each command, its description and the type of workstation
where you can run it.
