Backward compatibility
This fix pack delivers support for scheduling objects in folders, including workstations. When monitoring workstations from a back-level agent workstation, the output displays the workstation unique identifier and not the workstation name for those workstations that were defined in folders different from the root folder. To identify the corresponding workstation name, run the conman command using the showid filter, showcpu ;showid
, from an updated agent workstation.
Known limitations and workarounds
The following are software limitations and workarounds that affect IBM Workload Scheduler version 9.5.0 Fix Pack 6. 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.
- WebSphere Liberty minimum required version
- the minimum required WebSphere Liberty version to successfully install the fixpack is 22.0.0.3.
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Limitation
- A limitation has been identified in the OCP that affects MDM and Broker when used in SSL mode within a complete solution deployed on the platform. In this scenario, communication between the master, broker, and dynamic agents may not function properly. To resolve this issue, the environment should be set to "transparent mode" with no SSL communications enabled.
- IBM Common Inventory Technology scanner ceases HP support
- IBM Common Inventory Technology scanner does nott support HP operating systems starting from January 1st 2023. The IBM Workload Scheduler dynamic agent utilizes IBM Common Invetory Technology to collect system configuration data used in the definiton of dynamic pools. For customers using dynamic agents on HP and dynamic pools, we strongly recommend to review dynamic pool workstation definitions. If their requirements are based on filesystems, especially network or remote filesystems, we strongly recommend to remove the HP dynamic agent from the dynamic pool, since management of the requirements may not be accurate.
- APAR IJ39106
- When installing using the keystore and truststore files, customers are required to manually configure these files prior the installation setup. If providing custom .jks files, it is the customers responsibility to provide such .jks files equipped with all the CA certificates they need in the truststore. For more information see Installing the master domain manager and backup master domain manager.

Installing the Fix Pack
This section describes how to apply Fix Pack 6 security to IBM Workload Scheduler.
Installation notes
When installing the IBM Workload Scheduler Fix Pack, follow these recommendations:
- 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)
- 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.
- Set the
- 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.

You can install the Master Domain Manager version 9.5 Fix Pack 6 Security as fresh install. For further information, see
Configuring your master domain manager and broker in SSL mode
- Install the master domain manager or upgrade your current master domain manager to version 9.5.0.5
- Replace the values of the following parameters in the localopts file with the following values:
- nm SSL full port = 31113
- SSL key =TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/TWSClient.key
- SSL certificate = TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/TWSClient.cer
- SSL key pwd = TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/password.sth
- SSL CA certificate = TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/TWSTrustCertificates.cer
- SSL random seed =TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/TWS.rnd
- SSL Encryption Cipher = TLSv1.2
- Modify the master domain manager and broker using the composer mod command, as follows:
CCPUNAME your_master_domain_manager_workstation DESCRIPTION "MANAGER CPU" OS UNIX NODE localhost TCPADDR 31111 SECUREADDR 31113 DOMAIN MASTERDM FOR MAESTRO TYPE MANAGER AUTOLINK ON BEHINDFIREWALL OFF SECURITYLEVEL FORCE_ENABLED FULLSTATUS ON END
CPUNAME your_broker_workstation DESCRIPTION "This workstation was automatically created." OS OTHER NODE localhost TCPADDR 41114 SECUREADDR 41114 DOMAIN MASTERDM FOR MAESTRO TYPE BROKER AUTOLINK ON BEHINDFIREWALL OFF SECURITYLEVEL FORCE_ENABLED FULLSTATUS OFF END
- Modify the Broker.Workstation.PortSSL parameter in the BrokerWorkstation.properties file from false to true.
The Broker.Workstation.PortSSL parameter specifies the port used by the broker server to listen to the incoming traffic (equivalent to the Netman port) in SSL mode. It is first assigned at installation time. This port number must always be the same for all the broker servers that you define in your IBM Workload Scheduler network (one with the master domain manager and one with every backup master domain manager you install) to ensure consistency when you switch masters.
- Stop and start WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base, as described in Application server - starting and stopping.
- Stop and start all IBM Workload Scheduler processes.
- Run
Jnextplan -for 0000
Before Installing
- If you have jobs scheduled to run on the instance you are upgrading, make sure that they have completed otherwise some processes, such as
jobmon
orjoblnch
, might still be active. - Download the appropriate ZIP files for the operating system from IBM Fix Central.
- Extract the content of the ZIP files into a directory, using one of the extraction tools available on your system or downloadable from the Internet. The tool you use must be able to keep the file permissions on the extracted files, for example, infozip.
Note:
- If you want to install the Fix Pack on IBM i, to untar the eImages, see Extract the eImages for the Z Agent and Dynamic Agent on IBM i operating systems.
- To extract the .zip file onto a Windows 64-bit system, ensure that the eImage is not located on the desktop because the Windows operating system extract tool has a problem. Choose another directory into which to extract the Fix Pack eImage.
Creating or updating the IBM Workload Scheduler database schema
