Installation considerations
Some considerations that need to be taken into account before installation.
About this task
Before you begin the installation using the installation wizard, consider the following items that might apply to your specific environment.
- Installing on Windows™ operating systems
-
If you are installing on Windows™, consider the following items.
- If you are using Windows™ Terminal
Services, set the install user with the command:
change user /install
- If TWS_USER is a domain user, Microsoft™ Computer Browser Service must be active.
- If TWS_USER is a domain user, the user performing the installation must be a domain administrator.
- If you are using Windows™ Terminal
Services, set the install user with the command:
- Remote installation
- You cannot install HCL Workload Automation on a Windows™ workstation from a remote Samba-mounted file system.
- Installing for end-to-end scheduling
-
If you are installing HCL Workload Automation on a workstation used as a distributed agent (that is either a standard agent, fault-tolerant agent, or domain manager) for end-to-end scheduling, specify OPCMASTER as the name of the master domain manager during the installation process. For further information about installing for end-to-end scheduling, see Scheduling End-to-end with Fault Tolerance Capabilities.
- Create symbolic links
- UNIX™ and Linux™. The installation wizard installs
all executable files in its own
.bin
directory. Before running any HCL Workload Automation commands, you run a script that sets the command-line environment to access these files. To avoid having to set the environment each time you want to run any of the commands from within a script, you can select an installation option to create symbolic links to those commands or utilities most frequently used from within scripts. Symbolic link options shows the binary paths and the symbolic links.Table 1.
