UNIX™ access methods
HCL Workload Automation includes two types of UNIX™ access methods, local UNIX access methods and remote UNIX access methods.
The Local UNIX™ access method runs on extended agents. Use the Local UNIX™ access method to enable a single UNIX™ workstation to operate as two HCL Workload Automation workstations, both of which you can run HCL Workload Automation scheduled jobs.
The Remote UNIX™ access method runs on extended agents and
dynamic agents.
- On extended agents
- Use the Remote UNIX™ access method to designate a remote UNIX™ workstation to run HCL Workload Automation scheduled jobs without having HCL Workload Automation installed on it.
- On dynamic agents
- Define a job of type xajob that runs on dynamic agents. The dynamic agent communicates with the external system to start the job and return the status of the job.
