Installation paths
- HCL Workload Automation
- HCL Workload Automation for Z
- HCL Workload Automation for Applications
- Dynamic Workload Console
Many HCL Workload Automation components are installed in what is called an HCL Workload Automation instance.
- TWA_home installation path
- Many of the components are installed in an HCL Workload Automation instance. Although this is a notional
structure it is represented on the computer where you install HCL Workload Automation components by a common directory referred
to in the documentation as TWA_home.
The path of this directory is determined when you install an HCL Workload Automation component for the first time on a
computer. You have the opportunity to choose the path when you make that first-time installation,
but if you accept the default path, it is as follows:
- On UNIX™ operating systems
- /opt/wa/server_<wauser><n>
- On Windows™ operating systems
- %Program Files%\wa\server<n>
This path is called, in the publications, TWA_home. For details about the directories created outside of TWA_home, see Directories created outside of TWA_home at installation time .
- TWA_DATA_DIR and DWC_DATA_dir configuration directories
-
To simplify administration, configuration, and backup and recovery on UNIX systems, a new default behavior has been implemented with regard to the storage of product data and data generated by HCL Workload Automation, such as logs and configuration information. These files are now stored by default in the <data_dir> directory, which you can optionally customize at installation time.
By default, this directory is TWA_home/TWSDATA for the server and agent components, and DWC_home/DWC_DATA for the Dynamic Workload Console. The product binaries are stored instead, in the installation directory.
You can optionally customize the <data_dir> directory at installation time by setting the --data_dir argument when you install using the command-line installation. If you want to maintain the previous behavior, you can set the --data_dir argument to the HCL Workload Automation installation directory.
If you deploy the product components using Docker containers, the <data_dir> is set to the default directory name and location, and it cannot be modified.
To retrieve the TWA_DATA_DIR and DWC_DATA_dir location in case you have modified the default path, check the values for the TWS_datadir and DWC_datadir properties stored in the
twainstance<instance_number>.TWA.properties
file. The file is located in /etc/TWA.Alternatively, you can also proceed as follows:- Browse to <TWA_home>/TWS path.
- Source the . ./tws_env.sh shell script.
- Type echo $UNISONWORK. As a result, the path to the TWA_DATA_DIR is returned.
- HCL Workload Automation installation path
- You can install more than one HCL Workload Automation component (master domain manager, backup master domain manager, domain manager, or backup domain
manager) on a system, but each is installed in a separate instance of HCL Workload Automation, as described above. The installation path of HCL Workload Automation is:
- <TWA_home>/TWS
- DWC_home installation path
- The Dynamic Workload Console can be
installed in the path of your choice, but the default installation path is as follows:
- On Windows™ operating systems
- %ProgramFiles%\wa\DWC
- On UNIX™ operating systems
- /opt/wa/DWC
- On z/OS operating system
- /opt/wa/DWC
- HCL Workload Automation agent installation path
- The agent also uses the same default path structure, but has its own separate installation
directory:
- <TWA_home>/TWS/ITA/cpa
Note: The agent also installs some files outside this path. If you have to share, map, or copy the agent files (for example when configuring support for clustering) share, map, or copy these files, as well:- On UNIX™ operating systems
-
/etc/teb/teb_tws_cpa_agent_<tws_user>.ini /opt/HCL/CAP/EMICPA_default.xml /etc/init.d/tebctl-tws_cpa_agent_<tws_user> (on Linux and Solaris) /etc/rc.d/init.d/tebctl-tws_cpa_agent_<tws_user> (on AIX) /sbin/init.d/tebctl-tws_cpa_agent_<tws_user> (on HP-UX)
- On Windows™ operating systems
-
%windir%\teb\teb_tws_cpa_agent_<tws_user>.ini %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\HCL\CAP\EMICPA_default.xml
The agent uses the following configuration files which you might need to modify:- JobManager.ini
- This file contains the parameters that tell the agent how to run jobs. You should only change
the parameters if advised to do so in the HCL Workload Automation documentation or
requested to do so by HCL Software Support.
Its path is:
- On UNIX™ operating systems
- TWA_DATA_DIR/ITA/cpa/config/JobManager.ini
- On Windows™ operating systems
- TWA_home\TWS\ITA\cpa\config\JobManager.ini
- JobManagerGW.ini
- When a dynamic agent is installed and
-gateway
local|remote is specified, then this file contains the same parameters as the
JobManager.ini file except for the following differences:
- The ResourceAdvisorUrl parameter points to the dynamic workload broker, and not the master domain manager.
- On UNIX™ operating systems
- TWA_DATA_DIR/ITA/cpa/config/JobManagerGW.ini
- On Windows™ operating systems
- TWA_home\TWS\ITA\cpa\config\JobManagerGW.ini
- ita.ini
- This file contains parameters which determine how the agent behaves. Changing these parameters
may compromise the agent functionality and require it to be reinstalled. You should only
change the parameters if advised to do so in the HCL Workload Automation documentation or
requested to do so by HCL Software Support.
Its path is:
- On UNIX™ operating systems
- TWA_DATA_DIR/ITA/cpa/ita/ita.ini
- On Windows™ operating systems
- TWA_homeTWS\ITA\cpa\config\ita.ini
- Installation path for files giving the dynamic scheduling capability
- The files that give the dynamic scheduling capability are installed in the following path:
- <TWA_home>/TDWB
- The command line client installation path
- The command line client is installed outside all
HCL Workload Automation instances. Its default
path is:
- TWA_home/TWS/CLI
However, the information above supplies only the default paths. To determine the actual paths of products and components installed in HCL Workload Automation instances, see Finding out what has been installed in which HCL Workload Automation instances
