Dynamic Workload Console installation - dwcinst script
This script installs the Dynamic Workload Console
This section lists and describes the parameters that are used when running a dwcinst script to install the Dynamic Workload Console. For a typical installation scenario, see Installing the Dynamic Workload Console servers.
When running the command, you can type parameters and values from a properties file, type them in the command line, or use a combination of both properties file and command line. If a parameter is specified both in the properties file and in the command line, the command line value is used.

Dynamic Workload Console installation parameters
- -? | -usage | -help
- Displays the command usage and exits.
- --propfile | -f [properties_file]
- Optionally specify a properties file containing custom values for
dwcinst
parameters. The default file is located in the root directory of the installation image.
- --acceptlicense yes|no
- Specify whether to accept the License Agreement.
- --lang lang_id
- The language in which the messages returned by the command are displayed. If not specified, the
system LANG is used. If the related catalog is missing, the default C
language catalog is used. If neither --lang nor LANG are used, the
default codepage is set to SBCS. For a list of valid values for these
variables, see the following table:
Table 1. Valid values for -lang and LANG parameter Language Value Brazilian Portuguese pt_BR Chinese (traditional and simplified) zh_CN, zh_TW English en French fr German de Italian it Japanese ja Korean ko Russian ru Spanish es Note: This is the language in which the installation log is recorded and not the language of the installed component instance. The command installs all languages as default. - --inst_dir
- Specify the directory where the Dynamic Workload Console is to be installed. This
parameter is optional.
- On Windows operating systems
-
%ProgramFiles%\wa\DWC
- On UNIX operating systems
-
/opt/wa/DWC
- On z/OS operating system
-
/opt/wa/DWC
- --data_dir dwc_datadir
- Specify the path to a directory where you want to store the logs and configuration files produced by Dynamic Workload Console. This parameter is optional. If you do not specify this parameter, all data files generated by the Dynamic Workload Console are stored in DWC_home/DWC_DATA. This path is called, in the publications, DWC_DATA_dir.
- --skipcheckprereq
- If you set this parameter to false, Dynamic Workload Console does not scan system prerequisites before starting the installation. This parameter is optional. The default value is true. For more information about the prerequisite check, see Scanning system prerequisites for HCL Workload Automation.
- --rdbmstype | -r rdbms_type
- The database type. Supported databases are:
- DB2
- DB2Z
- ORACLE
- MSSQL This value applies to MSSQL,Azure SQL and Google Cloud SQL for SQL server.
- IDS This value is supported only on UNIX operating systems. and applies to Informix.
- ONEDB
- DERBY
Note:For more information about creating the Dynamic Workload Console database, see Creating and populating the database.HCL Workload Automation supports Derby database in test environments only. Derby is not recommended in production environments because it is a lightweight database. In production environments, move to another supported database.
- --dbname db_name
- The name of the Dynamic Workload Console database. This parameter is optional. The default value is DWC.
- --dbuser db_user
- The user that has been granted access to the Dynamic Workload Console tables on the database server. This parameter is required unless you are using Derby.
- --dbpassword db_password
- The password for the user that has been granted access to the Dynamic Workload Console tables on the database server. This parameter is required. You can optionally encrypt the password. For more information, see Encrypting passwords (optional).
- --dbport db_port
- The port of the database server. This parameter is required unless you are using Derby.
- --dbhostname db_hostname
- The host name or IP address of database server. This parameter is required unless you are using Derby.
- --dbdriverpath db_driver_path
- The path where the database drivers are stored. This parameter is optional. By default, the configuration script references the JDBC drivers supplied with the product images. If your database server is not compatible with the supplied drivers, then contact your database administrator for the correct version to use with your database server and specify the driver path using this parameter. Ensure you provide the same path in the configureDb, serverinst, and dwcinst commands. For more information, see What if my database server does not support the drivers supplied with the product images?.
- --dbsslconnection true | false
- Enables or disables the SSL connection to the database. This value must always be false
when
--rdbmstype
is DB2Z.The default value is false.
- --dbserver
- Specifies the name of the Informix or OneDB database server. This parameter is required only if --rdbmstype is set to IDS or ONEDB and is supported only on UNIX operating systems.
- --sslkeysfolder
- The name and path of the folder containing certificates
in .pem format. The installation program
automatically processes the keystore and truststore files using the
password you specify with the --sslpassword
parameter. The folder must contain the following files:
-
- ca.crt
- The Certificate Authority (CA) public certificate.
-
- tls.key
- The private key for the instance to be installed.
-
- tls.crt
- The public part of the previous key.
You can optionally create a subfolder to contain one or more *.crt files to be added to the server truststore as trusted CA. This can be used for example to add to the list of trusted CAs the certificate of the LDAP server or DB2 server. Additionally, you can store here any intermediate CA certificate to be added to the truststore. The subfolder must be named additionalCAs.
This parameter is required if you set the --dbsslconnection parameter to true. -
- --sslpassword
- The password for the custom certificates and the path to the folder containing certificates in .pem format with the sslkeysfolder parameter. You can optionally encrypt the password using the secure script. For more information, see Optional password encryption - secure script.
