wappman
Authorization
You must have add access if you import a new workload application. If the object already exists in the database you must have modify access to the object.
The justification is propagated to all objects created, updated, or deleted.
Syntax
wappman [connection_parameters]
[-u]|[-V]
| {-import|-replace} <definition_xml_file> <mapping_properties_file>
[-translationRules <translation_rules_file>]
[-workloadApplicationName [folder/]<workload_application_name>]
[-contents]
-list
-delete [folder/]<workload_application_name> [-noContents]
-export [folder/]<workload_application_template> [-path <export_path>]
[-zip <export_zip_name>]
-display [folder/]<workload_application_name>
Arguments
- [connection_parameters]
- A file with the connection parameters to be used to connect to the server where you want to
import, list, delete, export or display the workload application. You can use connection parameters to
override the values specified in the useropts and localopts files. To determine which connection
properties to use, a check is made in the following order:
- Parameters specified in the command string itself.
- Parameters specified in the custom properties file.
- The useropts file.
- The localopts file.
- The jobmanager.ini file.
- [-username <user_name>]
- An HCL Workload Automation user with sufficient privileges to perform the operation.
- [-password <password>]
- The password of the HCL Workload Automation user.
- [-host <hostname>]
- The name of the host that you want to access by using wappman command line.
- [-port <port_number>]
- The TCP/IP port number used to connect to the specified host.
- [-protocol {http | https}]
- The protocol used to connect to the specified host.
- [-file <custom_properties_file>]
- The custom properties file where you can specify connection parameters that override the values
specified in the useropts, localopts and jobmanager.ini files. Connection parameters specified in
the custom properties file must have the following
syntax:
HOST=<hostname> PORT=<port> PROTOCOL=<http/https> USERNAME=<username> PASSWORD=<password>
Note: If host, port, and protocol parameters are specified in a file, all of them must be specified in the same file. - -u
- Displays command usage information and exits.
- -V
- Displays the command version and exits.
- {-import|-replace} <definition_xml_file> <mapping_properties_file> [-translationRules <translation_rules_file>] [-workloadApplicationName <workload_application_name>] [-contents]
- The name of the definitions file and mapping file to use when importing or replacing a workload application. The operation of importing a
workload application is the same as deploying a
workload application.
- -import
- After customizing the mapping file, the mapping file together with the definitions file are
passed as input to the wappman
-import command to deploy the workload application in an HCL Workload Automation environment different from the
source environment where the workload application
template was originally created.
- -import -contents
- Imports only the objects contained in the workload application template and not the workload application itself. Any association to the workload application is not created.
- -replace
- The behavior of the replace operation depends on whether or not the objects to be replaced are tied to a workload application.
- -list
- Lists all of the workload applications present in the environment.
- -delete <workload_application_name>
- Deletes the specified workload application
and all the objects that were added to the environment when the workload application was originally deployed.
- -delete <workload_application_name> -noContents
- The operation deletes the specified workload application, but maintains the objects that were originally tied to it. There is more flexibility in updating the objects as there is no longer an association to the workload application.
- -export <workload_application_template>
- Creates the compressed file, named workload application template, containing all the files
and information required to deploy the workload application into the target environment.
- -path
- The file path where the workload application template is exported.
- -zip
- The name of the workload application template zip file.
- -display <workload_application_name>
- Displays the contents of the specified workload application.
Displays all of the objects contained in the workload application that were created during the import process.
Comments
You can skip objects when importing a workload application template by adding the SKP prefix before the object you want to skip. If you skip an object, an object with the same name must be present in the target environment, otherwise an error message is returned.
Each line in the mapping file specifies the objects to be imported in the new environment. To avoid importing a specific object, modify the mapping_properties_file by adding the SKP prefix before each object you want to skip.
JOBSTREAM_TESTJS=TESTJS
JOB_TESTJOB1=TESTJOB1
If the
JOB_TESTJOB1 job already exists in the target environment, modify the
mapping_properties_file by adding the SKP prefix before
the JOB_TESTJOB1 job, as
follows:JOBSTREAM_TESTJS=TESTJS
SKPJOB_TESTJOB1=TESTJOB1
Storing scheduling objects in folders is supported starting from version 9.5 and later. When importing a workload application from a product version earlier than 9.5, all imported objects are stored in the root folder. Ensure you have write access to the root folder before starting the import.
- IWS_DESCRIPTION
- Specify the description to be recorded for each change performed by commands in the shell. The maximum length for this value is 512 characters. A warning message displays if you exceed the maximum and excess characters are truncated.
- IWS_CATEGORY
- Specify the category to be recorded for each change performed by commands in the shell. The maximum length for this value is 128 characters. A warning message displays if you exceed the maximum and excess characters are truncated.
- IWS_TICKET
- Specify the ticket to be recorded for each change performed by commands in the shell. The maximum length for this value is 128 characters. A warning message displays if you exceed the maximum and excess characters are truncated.
- On Windows operating systems
- type one or more of the following commands, depending on the variable you want to
define:
set IWS_CATEGORY='my category' set IWS_DESCRIPTION='my desc' set IWS_TICKET=12345
- On UNIX operating systems
- type one or more of the following commands, depending on the variable you want to
define:
export IWS_CATEGORY='my category' export IWS_DESCRIPTION='my desc' export IWS_TICKET=12345
After setting the environment variables, all the commands you enter in the shell inherit the values you defined for the shell. The auditing information from the shell is stored as is in the Tivoli Common Reporting auditing reports. While the information you provide in the Dynamic Workload Console is guided using a pull-down menu, the information you provide from the command line is not filtered.
For more information about the justification option and auditing reports, see Keeping track of changes to scheduling objects and Reporting.
Logs and traces
You can configure the wappman command line by modifying the parameters in the CLI.ini file located in the path TWA_home/TWS/ITA/cpa/config. This file contains parameters for the message logs and trace files related to workload applications. 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.
