Updating the Dynamic Workload Console

Complete this procedure to update the Dynamic Workload Console from General Availability version 10.1 or later to the latest fix pack level. If you have several Dynamic Workload Console nodes in a cluster, upgrade all the nodes in the cluster.

About this task

When updating the HCL Workload Automation environment, it is a good practice to update the Dynamic Workload Console first. If you update the console, you can then use it to verify that your environment is working after updating the remaining components.

If you are using a master domain manager version 10.1 GA with a Dynamic Workload Console version 10.1 Fix Pack x, some known and already resolved errors might occur. To prevent this scenario from occurring, ensure that a master domain manager 10.1 Fix Pack x is always connected with a Dynamic Workload Console at the same level.

If you are using the default database Derby, you can skip this step. If you are using a database other than Derby, create and populate the database tables for the Dynamic Workload Console by following the procedure below.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the workstation where you plan to install the Dynamic Workload Console.
  2. Download the installation images from Flexnet.
  3. Browse to the folder image_location.
  4. If possible, stop all Dynamic Workload Console instances.
    If this is not possible, launch the configureDB script at a time when the Dynamic Workload Console is processing a low workload. If the configureDB script should fail because of conflicts with the Dynamic Workload Console, restart the script.
  5. To update the database version, run the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    cscript configureDb.vbs --rdbmstype db_type --dbhostname db_hostname --dbport db_port --dbname db_name --dbuser db_user --dbpassword db_password --dbadminuser db_administrator --dbadminuserpw db_administrator_password
    On UNIX operating systems
    ./configureDb.sh --rdbmstype db_type --dbhostname db_hostname --dbport db_port --dbname db_name --dbuser db_user --dbpassword db_password --dbadminuser db_administrator --dbadminuserpw db_administrator_password
    On z/OS operating systems
    ./configureDb.sh --rdbmstype db_type --dbhostname DB_hostname
--dbport db_port --dbname db_name --dbuser db_user
--dbadminuser DB_admin_user --dbadminuserpw DB_admin_pwd
--zlocationname zOS_location_containing_db --zbufferpoolname buffer_pool_in_zOS_location
    For more information about all parameters and supported values of the configureDb command, see Database configuration - configureDB script.
  6. Start the installation launching the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    cscript dwcinst.vbs --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir INST_DIR
    On UNIX operating systems
    ./dwcinst.sh --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir INST_DIR
    On z/OS operating systems
    ./dwcinst.sh --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir INST_DIR

    where INST_DIR is the path to the directory where the Dynamic Workload Console is installed. For information about the installation directory, see Finding out what has been installed in which HCL Workload Automation instances.

    Note: The acceptlicense and inst_dir parameters are required. All other parameters are ignored by dwcinst command, except for the following two optional parameters: lang and skipcheckprereq.

    For further details about commands, see Reference.

    You have now successfully updated the Dynamic Workload Console.

What to do next

You can now proceed to Updating the dynamic domain manager.
