Changing an agent to become a backup master domain manager

You cannot change an agent to become a backup master domain manager, using a command or procedure that allows continuity of workload scheduling activities.

Instead, if you need to change an agent workstation to become the backup master domain manager, you must interrupt the workload scheduling activities. The procedure is as follows:
  1. Check that the workstation satisfies the prerequisites for a backup master domain manager. See HCL Workload Automation Detailed System Requirements for more information.
  2. If it does, stop and disable all workload scheduling operations on the workstation
  3. Uninstall the agent, following the instructions in Uninstalling agents using the twsinst script or Uninstalling agents on IBM i systems, depending on the operating system.
  4. Install the backup master domain manager on the system where the agent was installed, following the instructions in Installing the master domain manager and backup master domain manager.
  5. Ensure that the database entry for the workstation is correct for a backup master domain manager. See Workstation definition for information about the workstation definition
  6. Define and start any workload scheduling operations you require on the workstation in its new role.
