Configuring the connection between the HCL Workload Automation Agent and Z controller through a proxy

You can configure that one or more z-centric agents connect with the controller through a proxy server, by defining the proxy properties in the ROUTOPTS statement and JobManager.ini file.

About this task

On the controller, set the proxy properties in ROUTOPTS by performing the following steps:
  1. Define one or more proxy destinations as follows:
    ROUTOPTS PROXY(destination, ...,destination)
    Each destination has the following syntax: 
    proxy name:'IP address or hostname'/port
    where:
    proxy name
    The name assigned to the destination, up to 8 alphanumerical characters.
    IP address or hostname
    The fully qualified host name or IP address used to communicate with the proxy server. It can be up to 52 alphanumeric characters.
    port
    The port number used to communicate with the proxy server.
  2. In the HTTP|HTTPS parameter specify the proxy name that you defined, as follows: 
    ROUTOPTS HTTP|HTTPS(dest name:'IPaddr or hostname'/port[/type][/pulseivl][/proxy name])
  3. On the z-centric agent, edit the [ITA_Env] section of the JobManager.ini file as described in Configuring proxy properties [ITA_Env]
The following example shows a ROUTOPTS statement: 
 ROUTOPTS PROXY(PROX1:’192.27.144.13’/44113,PROX2:’192.27.144.14’/44118)                   1
          HTTP(ZCENT1:'192.27.144.12'/44112///PROX2,ZCENT2:'192.14.55.231'/61424///PROX2)  2
          HTTPS(ZCENT3:'192.27.144.13'/8913/Z//PROX1)                                      3
where:
1
Two proxy destinations, PROX1 and PROX2, are configured.
2
The z-centric agents ZCENT1 and ZCENT2 connect with the controller through proxy PROX2.
3
The z-centric agent ZCENT3 connects with the controller through proxy PROX1, in an SSL-secure connection.
