HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Batchman fails on V8.6 and V9.1 fault-tolerant agents configured with the mailman server process

The enAddWorkstation global option is set to yes on a V9.2 master domain manager in a mixed version environment. After you successfully install a V9.2, dynamic agent, the batchman process fails on the V8.6, and V9.1 fault-tolerant agents that have the mailman server process configured.

Cause and solution:

The cause is that the dynamic agent workstation is automatically added to the plan of each agent in the HCL Workload Automation mixed version network. The batchman process on the V8.6 and V9.1 fault-tolerant agents that have the mailman server process configured is unable to manage the broadcast of the HCL Workload Automation event that communicates the addition of the dynamic agent to the plan.

To solve this problem, set enAddWorkstation to no on the master domain manager to prevent the automatic addition of the dynamic agent workstation in the plan.
