Domain definition
A domain is a group of workstations consisting of one or more agents and a domain manager. The domain manager acts as the management hub for the agents in the domain. You can include multiple domain definitions in the same text file, along with workstation definitions and workstation class definitions. Each domain definition has the following format and arguments:
Syntax
domain domainname[description “description"]
* manager [folder/]workstationname
[parent domainname | ismaster]
end
[cpuname ...]
[cpuclass ...]
[domain ...]
Arguments
- domain domainname
- The name of the domain. It must start with a letter, and can contain alphanumeric characters, dashes, and underscores. It can contain up to 16 characters.
- description “descriptionˮ
- Provides a description of the domain. The text must be enclosed within double quotation marks.
- * manager [folder/]workstation
- This is a commented field used only to show, when displaying the domain definition, the name of the workstation that has the role of domain manager for that domain. Make sure this field remains commented. It is kept for compatibility with earlier versions. With IBM Workload Scheduler version 8.3, the information about whether a workstation is a domain manager is set in the type field in the Workstation definition.
- parent domainname
- The name of the parent domain to which the domain manager is linked. The default is the master domain, which does not require a domain definition. The master domain is defined by the global options master and master domain.
- ismaster
- If specified, indicates that the domain is the top domain of the HCL Workload Automation network. If set it cannot be removed later.
