Installing the Fix Pack

This section describes how to apply Fix Pack 3 to IBM Workload Scheduler.

Installation notes

• Before installing the Fix Pack, ensure you have installed the required prerequisite software. To obtain the latest information about software requirements for IBM Workload Scheduler, run the Software Requirements report and browse to the relevant section.
• The minimum required WebSphere® Liberty version to successfully install the fixpack is 22.0.0.3 or later.
• This Fix Pack supports DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition, Version 10.5 on HP-UX and Sun Solaris operating systems only. 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: APAR IZ99634.
• 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)

After the Fix Pack installation completes, verify the following information:

• 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.
  Note that all the settings must be coherent, that is they must refer to the same DBCS language setting. After you have completed these changes, reboot your workstation to have the changes take effect.
• 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.

Interoperability notes
 

IBM Workload Scheduler version 10.1.0 Fix Pack 3 supports all product versions indicated in the IBM Workload Scheduler version 10.1.0 Fix Pack 3 Release Notes which can be accessed at the following link: Release Notes.
 

Installation methods

You can install the Fix Pack using one of the following methods:
 

For master domain manager or its backup:

For dynamic domain manager or its backup:

see Updating the dynamic domain manager

For fault-tolerant agent, dynamic agent or domain manager:

see Updating agents

Disk space requirements

To obtain the latest information about permanent disk space requirements when installing IBM Workload Scheduler on supported operating systems, run the Hardware requirements report and click on the relevant operating system link

Before starting the Fix Pack installation, ensure that you have the necessary disk space available on the file system. Consider that the disk space check calculated by the installation considers the entire space occupied by the TWA_HOME directory. The space required by the backup is the sum of the following directories:

TWA_HOME/TWS + TWA_HOME/TDWB + TWA_HOME/wastools + TWA_HOME/properties

If the installation fails because of lack of free disk space, you must stop the installation, free space on your disk, and start the installation again.

In addition to the disk space in the following table, the installation requires an additional 600 MB on the file system where the IMShared directory is located.

Table 2. Disk space requirements for installing a master domain manager or a backup master Fix Pack

Operating System	Installation directory	Temporary directory
AIX	2,5 GB	1,5 GB
Microsoft® Windows	2 GB	1 GB
Linux®	1,5 GB	800 MB

Table 3. Disk space requirements for installing the Fix Pack for IBM Workload Scheduler fault-tolerant agents

Operating System	Installation directory	Temporary directory
AIX	900 MB	400 MB
HP-UX	1.3 GB	400 MB
Solaris	920 MB	400 MB
Microsoft Windows	700 MB	350 MB
Linux	720 MB	350 MB

Table 4. Disk space requirements for installing the Fix Pack for IBM Workload Scheduler dynamic agents and z/OS agents

Operating System	Installation directory	Temporary directory
AIX	600 MB	250 MB
HP-UX	920 MB	400 MB
Solaris	580 MB	120 MB
Microsoft Windows	800 MB	400 MB
Linux	600 MB	250 MB

Note: Only on HP and Solaris operating systems, the Fix Pack installation requires also 300 MB free disk space in the temporary directory /var/tmp.
