HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Accessing the Dynamic Workload Console

From a supported browser, access one of the following links provided by the installation program:

http://dynamic_workload_console_system:http_port/DASH_context_root

https://dynamic_workload_console_system:https_port/DASH_context_root

where:
dynamic_workload_console_system
The hostname or IP address of the system where you installed the Dynamic Workload Console.
http_port
The port number used to access the Dynamic Workload Console using an unsecure connection over HTTP. The default value for this port number is 16310.
https_port
The port number used to access the Dynamic Workload Console using a secure connection over HTTPS. The default value for this port number is 16311.

When connecting to the Dashboard Application Services Hub using an HTTPS connection, if you receive a security alert, proceed with the Dynamic Workload Console working session. If you receive security information windows while navigating through the Dashboard Application Services Hub, choose to display nonsecure items to proceed. If you are using Internet Explorer, you can prevent these windows from opening by setting Display mixed content to Enable in the Security settings.

DASH_context_root
It is the Dashboard Application Services Hub context root defined at installation time. The context root determines the URL of a deployed application and by default is identical with the application directory or archive structure. In this case, the default is ibm/console.
In the Dashboard Application Services Hub login portlet, enter the user ID and password you specified during the installation, and click Log in.

Access Single Entry Pointpage and click Go from the Dynamic Workload Console launching point.

For a quick and rapid overview of the portal and of its use, after logging in to the Dashboard Application Services Hub, click one of the hyperlinks displayed on the welcome page to launch videos and a tutorial that help you find the information you need.

Several products might be integrated in this portal and their related entries are listed together with those belonging to the Dynamic Workload Console in the toolbar. Use these icons to perform your tasks.

Use the toolbar to work with the Dynamic Workload Console to perform the HCL Workload Automation tasks.

To effectively use the functions of the HCL Workload Automation and the dynamic workload broker, you must define connections to the HCL Workload Automation engines and the dynamic workload broker servers.

If you do not define engine connections, you can perform only this limited set of operations:
On HCL Workload Automation:
  • Create monitor tasks
  • Create report tasks
  • Create event management tasks
  • Define user preferences
On dynamic workload broker
Define user preferences
If the user ID you used to connect to the Dynamic Workload Console has been assigned a role different from TWSWEBUIAdministrator and TDWBAdministrator, you will see a subset of the available panels. This subset depends on the authorizations assigned to the role associated to your user ID. For more information about roles, see the information about configuring the Dynamic Workload Console in the HCL Workload Automation: Administration Guide.

If the user ID you used to connect to the Dynamic Workload Console has no role assigned, you do not see the entries for HCL Workload Automation and dynamic workload broker in the Dashboard Application Services Hub navigation tree.
