  - HCL Workload Automation
  - Understanding basic processes and commands
  - Configuring the job environment
  - Managing the production cycle
  - Using workload service assurance
    Workload service assurance is an optional feature that provides the means to flag jobs as mission critical for your business and to ensure that they are processed in a timely manner. Using this function benefits your scheduling operations personnel by enhancing their ability to meet defined service levels.
  - Customizing your workload using variable tables
    This chapter introduces the concept of variable tables to group global parameters, from now on called variables, to customize your workload.
  - Condition-based workload automation
  - Running event-driven workload automation
  - Defining objects in the database
  - Managing objects in the database - composer
  - Managing workload applications
    Workload applications can be created and then exported so that they can be shared with other HCL Workload Automation environments. In the new environment, the workload application can be subsequently updated, replaced, or deleted.
  - Managing objects in the plan - conman
  - Orchestration CLI
  - Monitoring HCL Workload Automation
    Using internal and third-party tools to monitor HCL Workload Automation
  - Extending HCL Workload Automation capabilities
    You can extend HCL Workload Automation capabilities by integrating with third-party products. This integration allows you to easily start HCL Workload Automation jobs on external products, while using HCL Workload Automation scheduling capabilities. HCL Workload Automation also provides jobs that perform everyday operations, such as file transfer and web services, and utility jobs that automate and simplify operations, such as the job stream submission.
  - Managing dynamic scheduling
    This section explains how you can manage dynamic scheduling capabilities in your environment to schedule both existing HCL Workload Automation jobs and job types with advanced options, both those supplied with the product and the additional types implemented through the custom plug-ins.
  - Using utility commands
  - Using utility commands in the dynamic environment
  - Getting reports and statistics
  - Managing time zones
  - Defining access methods for agents
  - Managing internetwork dependencies
  - Applying conditional branching logic
    With HCL Workload Automation you can define jobs to run when and as often as necessary. Sometimes some jobs might have to wait for other jobs to finish successfully before they start. Add even more flexibility to your job flows by choosing which job to run depending on the result of the job status or output of a previous job. Whenever you have conditions that specify whether or not a segment of your job flow should run, then that is a conditional dependency.

Customizing job processing on a Windows workstation - jobmanrc.cmd

About this task

A standard configuration script template named TWS_home\config\jobmanrc.cmd is supplied with HCL Workload Automation. It is installed automatically as TWS_home\jobmanrc.cmd. You can use this command file to set the required environment before each job is run. To alter the file, make your modifications in the working copy (TWS_home\jobmanrc.cmd), leaving the template file unchanged. The file contains variables which can be configured, and comments to help you understand the methodology. Variables defined by default in the jobmanrc.cmd file describes the jobmanrc.cmd variables.

Table 1. Variables defined by default in the jobmanrc.cmd file
Variable Name	Value
HOME	The path to the TWS_home directory
POSIXHOME	The path to the TWS_home directory in a POSIX complaint format
LOCAL_RC_OK	If set to yes, the user's local configuration script is run, if existing. If set to no, the presence of a local configuration script is ignored. Any other setting is interpreted as no.
MAIL_ON_ABEND	If set to YES, an email is sent to the email ID defined in the email_ID variable, if the job ends in error. If set to any value other than YES or NO, an email is sent to the email ID specified in this variable if the job ends in error. If set to NO, no messages are sent if the job ends in error. For more details, see Customizing the MAIL_ON_ABEND section of jobmanrc.cmd.
