Setting up the composer command-line program
About this task
The composer command line program manages scheduling objects in database.
You must install the HCL Workload Automation Command Line Client feature on fault-tolerant agents and systems outside the HCL Workload Automation network to use the composer command-line program.
Users can decide
to maintain an audit trail recording any changes they perform and the related justifications. To
enable the justification option, set up in a system shell the HCL Workload Automation environment variables listed below
before running any composer commands:
- IWS_DESCRIPTION
- Specify the description to be recorded for each change performed by commands in the shell. The maximum length for this value is 512 characters. A warning message displays if you exceed the maximum and excess characters are truncated.
- IWS_CATEGORY
- Specify the category to be recorded for each change performed by commands in the shell. The maximum length for this value is 128 characters. A warning message displays if you exceed the maximum and excess characters are truncated.
- IWS_TICKET
- Specify the ticket to be recorded for each change performed by commands in the shell. The maximum length for this value is 128 characters. A warning message displays if you exceed the maximum and excess characters are truncated.
To authenticate using a JSON Web Token (JWT),
retrieve the token from the Dynamic Workload Console, start a shell session, and run
the command with the -jwt parameter, for example:
composer -jwt aòsdfjasldfkjasdflòjahsdfjlkasdNote: On AIX systems, if you plan to define a large number of objects, the
data segment should be increased for ensuring product reliability.
