About this Fix Pack
This section contains information specific for this Fix Pack including what has been modified or introduced, what has been fixed, product versions or components to which the Fix Pack applies, and compatibility issues, if any.
- Product versions and components to which the Fix Pack applies
- This Fix Pack can be applied only on top of IBM Workload Scheduler V9.5.0, and subsequent Fix Packs.
This section includes the following subsections:
Features introduced with Fix Pack 1
- Renaming and moving jobs and job streams into folders
-
You might have used simple to complex naming conventions when creating job and job stream names to easily identify and manage them. With character length restrictions for these names, creative abbreviations are required to stay within the limits. This can often lead to unreadable names.
You can now migrate multiple jobs and job streams, in batch mode, whose names contain common pattern matching into specified folders and sub-folders, where the folder names are extracted from the job and job stream names themselves. Naming folders by using tokens from the job and job stream names frees up characters so that you can rename jobs and job streams with more meaningful names, in addition to the folder names.
To rename and move jobs and job streams into folders, the composer rename command has been extended to support wildcard characters. The wildcard characters are used to replace pattern matching tokens in the job and job stream names and enable you to migrate the jobs and job streams in bulk, rather than one at a time. A ;preview option is provided to test the command before actually running it to ensure you obtain the expected result.
For more information see Organizing jobs and job streams into folders
- File transfer job plug-in enhancements
-
Version 9.5 Fix Pack 1 delivers the following enhancements to the File transfer job plug-in:
- RFE 124923: Appending text to an existing file
- The file transfer job plug-in now includes an option to append the data contained in the transferred file to the existing file on the destination system. This avoids overwriting the existing file and preserves any changes that were made to the file prior to the transfer. The option applies to file transfers of type download and for files encoded as text.
- Deleting a source file after an upload transfer
- An option has been added to specify if you want to delete the source files after a file transfer of type "upload".
- RFE 127294: Specifying FTP SIte subcommands
- An option has been added for file transfers originating from a distributed environment to a z/OS target workstation, using the FTP protocol, to specify SIte subcommands. For example, you can specify a subcommand to define primary and secondary space allocations.
- Deploying IBM Workload Automation Agent on Red Hat OpenShift
-
The IBM Workload Automation agent container can be deployed onto OpenShift, a container application platform based on Kubernetes and useful to orchestrate containers.
For further details about the deployment on OpenShift refer to Deploying IBM Workload Automation agent on Red Hat OpenShift
- Delegating administrator privileges on folders to other users
-
The IBM Workload Scheduler administrator can grant permissions to a user on a folder so that the user can freely create new access control lists or modify existing access control lists on the folder or any sub-folders to which the user has been delegated administrator permissions. The user can in turn give access to the folder or sub-folder to other users by specifying an existing role to which the user wants to grant the access, as well as the folder. In this way, the IBM Workload Scheduler administrator can delegate the security to various organizations in the business to other users who can act independently as administrators for that organization.
A new access type "acl" has been added for folder objects. With this type of access, users can create access control lists for the folder assigned to them by assigning predefined roles to users and groups on the entire folder hierarchy or on specific sub-folders.
For more information about delegating permissions on folders, see Granting administrator permissions to a user on a folder.

Known limitations and workarounds
The following are software limitations and workarounds that affect IBM Workload Scheduler Workload Scheduler version 9.5.0 Fix Pack 1 and previous versions. For a list of known problems and limitations documented for the V9.5 General Availability release, see the product Release Notes at IBM Workload Scheduler Release Notes.
- Jobs are not able to run on a domain manager after a repeat rerun
- If the recovery job workstation is a dynamic agent, to make jobs run on a domain manager after a repeat rerun, the dynamic agent must belong to the same domain as the parent job workstation.
- SendMail action is not performed due to a missing WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base third-party library
- When an event rule includes sending a user an email as the triggered action in response to the occurrence of the event, the email is not sent due to the absence of a WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base third-party library.
Workaround: to load the missing third-party library available in Liberty, you must define the API type visibility in the section of the server.xml file that is related to the TWSEngineModel.ear deployment. Set the apiTypeVisibility attribute of the classloader element to third-party as follows:
<enterpriseApplication id="TWSEngineModel" location="TWSEngineModel.ear" name="TWSEngineModel"> <classloader apiTypeVisibility="+third-party" commonLibraryRef="DBDriverLibs, libs.native" delegation="parentFirst" privateLibraryRef="libs.sdo, libs.plugin, libs.jackson, twa-properties, libs.ccmdb, libs.emf, libs.jlog, libs.act"> </classloader>Once the change has been performed, restart the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base
- A communication failure could occur when removing an ACL defined on a deleted folder
-
Removing an ACL defined on a deleted folder from the DWC, you could receive the following error message:
"AWSUI0833E The operation could not be completed. There has been a communication failure. The internal message is: AWSJDB201E The object "acl=/FOLDER1_1/+F" cannot be locked, updated, or deleted because it is locked by user "null"."Workaround: to remove the ACL and avoid communication issues, perform the following steps:- Recreate the deleted folder.
- Delete the ACL defined on the folder you just recreated.
- Delete the folder.
- A fully qualified path length of a folder cannot be longer than 254 chars
- The folder path cannot be longer than 254 chars, otherwise a security file corruption occurs.
- The CWWKS4001I information message is logged several times in the messages.log file
- In case of Dynamic Workload Console concurrent users generating more than 15 pages/second traffic, the CWWKS4001I information message is logged several times in the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base messages.log of the master domain manager. This behaviour makes the log file difficult to read and might cause potential performance impacts on Dynamic Workload Console response time.

It is available for download from the Passport Advantage web site with part number: CNED3ML. After the installation of DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition, Version 10.5, you must manually apply the license activation key (.lic file). The license key must be downloaded separately from the Passport Advantage web site. The part number related to the license activation key is CNED3ML. The key must be registered using the db2licm command. See Applying DB2 licenses licenses for the procedure to register the key.
If you already have installed DB2 Advanced Workgroup Server Edition, you can switch this license with a DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition license, by following the procedure in Updating licenses. Note that when the procedure references the product-identifier as in step 3:db2licm -a product-identifier, replace the product-identifier with the file representing the license activation key (.lic).
- Before installing this Fix Pack on AIX® V7.1 operating systems, you must apply the patch for APAR IZ99634. For more information, see: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IZ99634.
- On UNIX operating systems, before installing the IBM Workload Scheduler Fix Pack, ensure that your umask is set to 022. To verify that umask is set to the correct value, from a command prompt, run the umask command. If the value is different from 022, modify it by running the command:
umask 022 - On UNIX operating systems, the database administrator must have read and run privileges for the IBM Workload Scheduler installation path; otherwise the installation fails. (54367)
- This Fix Pack installs a new version of the file tws_env.sh (tws_env.cmd) and also creates a backup file named, tws_env.sh.bk (tws_env.cmd.bk), which are both saved to the <TWA_HOME>/TWS directory, where <TWA_HOME> is the IBM Workload Scheduler installation directory. After installing the Fix Pack, if you have modified the original version, merge the content of the new version with the content of the original version to carry your customized content into the new version.
- On IBM i operating systems, if you want to install the Fix Pack on the agent for z/OS and IBM Workload Scheduler Dynamic Agent, verify that the user profile used as TWSUser is not a member of a group profile. Set the group profile associated with the TWSUser to *NONE. If the TWSUser is a member of a group, the Fix Pack installation fails.
- Only on Windows operating systems, to correctly display double-byte character set (DBCS) characters, you must perform the following actions:
- Set the LANG environment variable to the DBCS language code you want to use, for example, set LANG=zh_CN.
- Set the TWS_TISDIR environment variable to the IBM Workload Scheduler home directory, for example, set TWS_TISDIR=C:\FTA\TWS.
- Open the Control Panel window and click Clock, Language, and Region.
- Click Region and Language.
- In the Format tab, choose from the Format drop-down list the language you want to use.
- In the Keyboards and Languages tab, under Display Language, click install and follow the steps to install the DBCS language pack you want to use.
- In the Administrative tab, click Change system locale and, from the drop-down list, choose the language (system locale) you want to use.
- When installing a dynamic agent or a fault-tolerant agent, ensure that the agent name does not start with a number. If the name of the dynamic agent starts with a number, use the -displayname parameter at installation time to specify a different name. If the name of the fault-tolerant agent starts with a number, use the --thiscpu parameter at installation time to specify a different name.
