Installation without root privileges extended to all HCL Workload Automation components

You can now install all server components (such as master domain managers, domain managers, dynamic domain managers and so on) and fault-tolerant agents using a user account that does not have root privileges.

On supported UNIX operating systems, you can now choose whether to install server components and fault-tolerant agents using a user account with or without root privileges. This is especially useful if security policies in your organization require not to share the password for root users. This installation method is already available since previous releases for dynamic agents, HCL Workload Automation Agent (also known as the agent with z-centric capabilities), and Dynamic Workload Console.

Note that if you choose this installation method, known as no-root installation, only the user who performs the installation can use HCL Workload Automation.

This enhancement applies only to supported UNIX operating systems, while the installation method on Windows operating systems remains unchanged.

For more information, see HCL Workload Automation user management, Agent installation procedure, Before upgrading, Uninstalling the main components, and Uninstalling agents using the twsinst script, the uname parameter in Agent installation parameters - twsinst script and the wauser parameter in Server components installation - serverinst script.
