In the tables in this section the following acronyms are used:

Supported Browsers

To obtain the most up-to-date information about supported browsers and related versions, see the Supported Software document available at Product Requirements.

The following tables are available:

• Dynamic Workload Console: compatibility
• HCL Workload Automation for z/OS: compatibility
• HCL Workload Automation Command-line client: compatibility

Dynamic Workload Console: compatibility

Compatibility is supported on the latest available fix pack for each HCL Workload Automation release listed in the table:

Compatibility considerations with version 9.4

When you have a backup master domain manager at the V10.1 version level, but the master domain manager is still at a previous product version level (version 9.4), problems can occur when monitoring objects that support the definition in a folder such as, prompts, workstations, and resources, as well as objects that contain the workstation in their object identifier, for example, job streams. More specifically, these objects are not displayed in the results of the monitoring query on the plan if you use filters in your query.

Solution: Upgrade the master domain manager to the V10.1 level, and then run planman resynch to resolve the issue.

HCL Workload Automation for z/OS: compatibility

Compatibility is supported on the latest available fix pack for each HCL Workload Automation release listed in the table:

To find the fix packs released for HCL Workload Automation, and the Dynamic Workload Console including links to the related readmes files, see HCL License Portal.

Note: The Dynamic Workload Console V10.1 Fix Pack 1 and Fix Pack 2 cannot be connected to z/OS V10.1 SPE1. The APAR IJ45719 has already been opened.

This section contains product limitations not resolved with this release of Dynamic Workload Console, and their workarounds (where applicable)

Using Chrome with default certificates might reduce the Dynamic Workload Console performance

Due to Chrome cache static resources restrictions, when using the Dynamic Workload Console with default certificates, the performance could be reduced.

To avoid impact on the performance, use custom certificates or a different browser.

The Remote jobs on SAP job is only available in the Manage jobs on SAP page

The Remote jobs on SAP job is not included in the new Workload Designer. It is possible to create/edit/view it from the Manage jobs on SAP page.

The SAP Options file editing is only available in the Manage jobs on SAP page

The edit of the SAP Options file is not included in the new Workload Designer. It is available from the Manage jobs on SAP page.

In the new Workload Designer, the run cycle preview is not available
When creating a run cycle group or adding a run cycle by using the new Workload Designer, it is not possible to see the graphical run cycle preview.

Error when connecting Dynamic Workload Console 10.1 to a master domain manager 94FP7

When you try to connect the DWC, an error similar to the following is displayed:
AWSUI0796E The specified action cannot be performed.
Reason: AWSJCS011E An internal error has occurred. The error is the following: "Unexpected end of file from server".

Workaround:  Edit the wa.java.security file adding the following content:

jdk.tls.legacyAlgorithms=K_NULL, C_NULL, M_NULL, DH_anon, ECDH_anon, RC4_128, RC4_40, DES_CBC, DES40_CBC, 3DES_EDE_CBC, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

Duplicated or unexpected fields for job plug-ins in the new Workload Designer
When creating new job plug-ins in the new Workload Designer, some fields are duplicated or unexpected for the job plug-in definition.

Browser overload when viewing or editing job streams with more than 200 jobs and dependencies in the new Workload Designer
When viewing or editing a job stream containing more than 200 jobs and dependencies in the new Workload Designer, the browser becomes slow and starts using a large number of resources.
 

Dashboard becomes unresponsive after it is kept open and unused for more than 4 hours
A dashboard that uses the widgets Bar chart, Bubble chart, Gauge, Line chart, or Pie chart might become unresponsive if it is kept open for more than 4 hours without interaction. 
Workaround: To continue working, close the dashboard and open it again.

Blank page when restoring a job stream with dependencies in the new Workload Designer
When restoring a previous version of a job stream with dependencies in the new Workload Designer, the restore fails, and a blank page occurs.

Blank page when defining a job stream dependency using the graphical view in the new Workload Designer
When defining a conditional dependency using the graphical view in the new Workload Designer, the operation fails, and a blank page occurs.

Workaround: Add the conditional dependencies from the job stream table in the Workspace area without using the graphical view.

In a z/OS environment, a blank page occurs when defining a job stream dependency using the graphical view in the new Workload Designer
In a z/OS environment, when defining a condition dependency using the graphical view in the new Workload Designer, the operation fails, and a blank page occurs.

Workaround: Add the condition dependencies from the job stream table in the Workspace area without using the graphical view.

In a z/OS environment, a job stream cannot be downloaded in the new Workload Designer.
In a z/OS environment, when downloading a job stream in the new Workload Designer, the download fails.

Unicode characters are displayed when predefined reports contain non-ASCII characters
When a predefined report contains non-ASCII characters, the information is displayed in Unicode characters. This does not affect the correct functionality of the report.

Migration of roles from the Dynamic Workload Console
The migration of the roles from the Dynamic Workload Console Version 9.4 to Version 10.1 is not supported. The user have to recreate the roles in the latest version.

Backward compatibility problems with IBM Workload Scheduler 9.4

• To monitor objects from an engine version 9.4 remove the folder filter from the the predefined query.
• Before importing preferences from the Dynamic Workload Console 9.4 perform the following procedure: open the TDWCSettings.xml file and find and replace as follows:

find:

<java.lang.String id="PARAM_EngineType">distributed</java.lang.String> replace with <java.lang.String id="PARAM_EngineType">tws-distributed</java.lang.String>

find:

<java.lang.String id="PARAM_EngineType">zos</java.lang.String> replace with <java.lang.String id="PARAM_EngineType">tws-zos</java.lang.String>

Documentation Updates

Top

In the Planning and Installation manual, section Reference, add the following commands:

uninstall

Use this command to uninstall the File Proxy.

fileproxystop

Use this command to stop the File Proxy.

The unistall command syntax is as follows:

UNIX

./uninstall -inst_dir installation_directory [-lang language]

WINDOWS

uninstall.exe -inst_dir installation_directory [-lang language]

where

-inst_dir is the directory where the File Proxy is installed.

-lang is the language in which the messages returned by the command are displayed

The command removes all data related to the File Proxy and leaves the data_dir unchanged.

The fileproxystop command syntax is as follows:

UNIX

./fileproxystop

WINDOWS

fileproxystop.exe

In the Planning and Installation manual, section Reference, File Proxy installation - fileproxyinst script topic, note that the following parameters are required, even though they are documented as optional:

inst_dir
acceptlicense

All other updates to the HCL Workload Automation documentation that are required for version 10.1.0 are included in the editions of the publications of Workload Automation Documentation.
