Procedure for installing the Dynamic Workload Console
In this scenario, the IBM® Workload Scheduler administrator installs two Dynamic Workload Console instances on two separate workstations, sharing the same remote database. The IBM Workload Scheduler administrator performs the operations listed below on both workstations.
You can optionally configure your environment in SSL mode, by using the --sslkeysfolder and --sslpassword parameters and generating automatically the certificates for each workstation in your environment.
Command parameter | Required information | Provided in.. |
---|---|---|
Database information | ||
--rdbmstype | database type | Creating and populating the database |
--dbhostname | database hostname | |
--dbport | database port | |
--dbname | database name | |
--dbuser | database user name | |
--dbpassword | database password | |

--wlpdir | WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base installation directory | Installing WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base |
You can run the dwcinst command specifying a typical set of parameters. In this case, default values are used for all remaining parameters.
Default values are stored in the dwcinst.properties file, located in the root directory of the installation image.
If you need to modify any of the default values, edit the dwcinst.properties file, but do not modify the dwcinst.template file located in the same path.
In a typical installation scenario, it is recommended you install the Dynamic Workload Console as a non-root user on UNIX systems and as a local administrator on Windows systems.
This user is automatically created by the installation process in the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base repository. Ensure that the user has full access to the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base installation directory.
- Installing WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base on the workstations where you plan to install the Dynamic Workload Console
- Creating and populating the database
- Creating the IBM Workload Scheduler administrative user
- To prevent installation failures, ensure that the inst_dir parameter is different from the directory of the installation image.
- Recent JVMs do not fully support use of non-ASCII characters with the -jar and -javaagent commands. Use only ASCII characters in your installation directory names and paths.
To install the Dynamic Workload Console, perform the following steps:
On Windows operating systems
-
cscript dwcinst.vbs --acceptlicense yes --rdbmstype db_type --user dwc_admin_user --password dwc_pwd --dbname db_name --dbuser db_user --dbpassword db_pwd --dbhostname db_hostname --dbport db_port --wlpdir Liberty_installation_dir\wlp --sslkeysfolder certificate_files_path --sslpassword keystore_truststore_password
On UNIX operating systems
-
./dwcinst.sh --acceptlicense yes --rdbmstype db_type --user dwc_admin_user --password dwc_pwd --dbname db_name --dbuser db_user --dbpassword db_pwd --dbhostname db_hostname --dbport db_port --wlpdir Liberty_installation_dir/wlp --sslkeysfolder certificate_files_path --sslpassword keystore_truststore_password
- user dwc_admin_user
- is the administrator of the Dynamic Workload Console. You can use this account to log in to the Dynamic Workload Console and manage your environment.
- password dwc_pwd
- is the password of the Dynamic Workload Console user.
On Windows operating systems
- Supported characters for the password are alphanumeric, dash (-), underscore (_) characters, and ()|?*~+.
On UNIX operating systems
- Supported characters for the password are alphanumeric, dash (-), underscore (_) characters, and ()|?=*~+.
