SAP Solution Manager
To start Dynamic Workload Console from SAP Solution Manager, install the following SAP notes in the specified order:
All operating systems supported by Dynamic Workload Console are supported by IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base.
IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base adopts a continuous delivery model where new versions are deployed on a monthly basis. During the formal testing phase, HCL Workload Automation Version 10.1.0.3 and the Dynamic Workload Console Version 10.1.0.03-2023.05 were tested using WebSphere Application Server Liberty 23.0.0.4 Base.
For more information about which versions higher than 23.0.0.4 can be used in the future, see Recommended updates for WebSphere Application Server.
For the Dynamic Workload Console on z/OS systems, the minimum WebSphere Application Server Liberty level is 22.0.0.3.
For a list of the LDAP servers supported by HCL Workload Automationr, refer to WebSphere Application Server Liberty base documentation, for example: Configuring LDAP user registries in Liberty and Federation of user registries.
Hardware requirements |
This section contains the following sub-sections:
To obtain the latest information about permanent disk space requirements when installing HCL Workload Automation on supported operating systems, see the Supported Hardware document.
Nor do they include the additional space requirement for the base support of HCL Workload Automation (without scheduling data), which is 2 GB.
The space required is very subjective and depends on how you use HCL Workload Automation. If you are already a user of the product, you will have an idea of how much space it currently occupies. However, you should bear in mind that each version of the system uses more disk space than the previous one. If you are a new user you will probably set up a test system to help you grow familiar with the product and you should be able to scale up the operating space requirements of the test system to give you an indication of how much space you will be using in a fully functional live system.
To obtain the latest information about temporary space requirements, see the Supported Hardware document.
HCL Workload Automation requires a minimum of 2 GB of virtual memory swap space on the file system of any operating system.
Table 2: Memory (MB) summarizes the memory requirements for the various components, on all operating systems:
| Memory | MDM or DDM |
Dynamic agent or z-centric agent |
Fault-tolerant agent | File Proxy |
| Recommended | 8192 | 1024 | 1024 | 2000 |
| Required | 4096 | 1024 | 512 | 1000 |
