Setting up the composer command-line program

About this task

The composer command line program manages scheduling objects in database.

You must install the HCL Workload Automation Command Line Client feature on fault-tolerant agents and systems outside the HCL Workload Automation network to use the composer command-line program.

Users can decide to maintain an audit trail recording any changes they perform and the related justifications. To enable the justification option, set up in a system shell the HCL Workload Automation environment variables listed below before running any composer commands:
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.
For more information about the justification option, see Keeping track of changes to scheduling objects.
To authenticate using a JSON Web Token (JWT), retrieve the token from the Dynamic Workload Console, start a shell session, and run the command with the -jwt parameter, for example:
composer -jwt aòsdfjasldfkjasdflòjahsdfjlkasd
Note: On AIX systems, if you plan to define a large number of objects, the data segment should be increased for ensuring product reliability.
