Jobs you create or edit from the Dynamic Workload Console at Version 9.5, Fix Pack 3 are not supported on agents at Version 9.3, but you can work around this problem by saving the jobs in the composer command line after editing them with the Dynamic Workload Console. The best practice is applying the latest fix pack level to the agents.
Skip objects when importing a workload application template
You can select the objects within a workload application template you do not want to import, both from the Dynamic Workload Console and wappman command. If you choose to skip an object, an object with the same name must be present in the target environment, otherwise an error message is returned. For more information, see wappman.
New optman option to specify the default licensing model for IBM Workload Scheduler workstations
You can now use the defaultWksLicenseType option to specify the default licensing model to be applied to IBM Workload Scheduler workstations. In a Docker environment, this causes all workstations to be created with the value assigned to the defaultWksLicenseType option. For more information, see Global options - detailed description.
The term $SLAVES was removed from the security file and replaced with the term $AGENTS
Because it is politically incorrect, the term $SLAVES, which applies to all fault-tolerant agents in both the classic and role-based security models, was replaced with the term $AGENTS with the same scope. No change is required to your existing scripts nor environments. For more information, see Configuring user authorization (Security file).
Improvements in time zone management for external follows dependencies for jobs and job streams
When the product evaluates matching criteria to resolve external follows dependencies it compares the start times using local time if both job stream instances use the same timezone, or it uses UTC in case they use different timezones. For more information, see Managing external follows dependencies for jobs and job streams.
Support for proxy servers when contacting the license server
You can now use a proxy server when contacting the license server. This is especially useful when your HCL Workload Automation environment cannot connect to the Internet. To set up communication with the proxy server, use the licenseProxyPassword, licenseProxyServer, licenseProxyServerPort, licenseProxyUser global options. For more information about global options, see setting global options .
Satisfying Requests for Enhancements (RFEs)

RFEs give customers the opportunity to collaborate directly with the product development team and other users. The team prioritizes and develops new product features based on proposals made by customers. HCL Workload Automation V9.5 Fix Pack 3 delivers the following RFEs:

RFE 18054: Custom role privileges
Now you can define new custom roles, assign specific privileges to a set of users, and also assign privileges outside the scope of the existing system role.
RFE 116406: Add state=cancl on showjobs command
You can now filter jobs which are in canceled status. For more information, see wildcards.
RFE 116762: Improvements for Event Driven Workload Automation
You can now optionally modify the event processor server, for example to use a load balancer, by adding the Broker.Workstation.evtproc property in the BrokerWorkstation.properties file. For more information, see BrokerWorkstation.properties file.
RFE 117719: End time column available for job streams in monitoring panel
This column is available when creating a job task, with this enhancements the end time column is also available for job streams.
RFE 123642: DWC historical reports' self-cleaning option
A new self-cleaning property has been enabled to remove all temporary files created after a report generation.
RFE 124339: New Graphical View order settings.
Now you can reorganize the dependencies view in the Graphical View by clicking on the Graphical view button and choosing the order in which you want to see them. The available options are:
  • From right to left
  • From left to right
  • From top to bottom (default)
  • From bottom to top

You can also edit the TDWCGlobalsettings.xml file to customize the default Graphical View settings.

RFE 126163: DWC user with read only access locks out an ISPF user with modify privilege
z/OS environment only. Now if you open a list of job dependencies from the Dynamic Workload Console, the related ISPF panel is locked and it is not possible to edit dependencies until the job dependencies panel is closed.
RFE 85329 / RFE 130134: Ability to clean the query history
When you have a very high number of past queries saved in the Query drop-down list, it is not easy to find the query that you really need. With this fix pack, you can manage the list either by removing single queries or clearing all the query history.
RFE 133936: Enhancement to composer binary to allow schedule objects to be pulled via "Active" or "DRAFT" status
Two new filters (draft and active) are now available with the composer command to filter job stream in draft or active status. For more information, see filters and wildcards.
RFE 134893: default licensing model for IBM Workload Scheduler workstations
You can now specify the default licensing model for IBM Workload Scheduler workstations. By setting appropriately the values of the defaultWksLicenseType and licenseType global options, you can define the default licensing model to be applied to each workstation at creation time. For more information, see the detailed description of global options.
RFE 137834: Modify the configureDB upgrade script to include any Subsequent additional IDs
Modify the configureDB database upgrade script to include any additional Subsequent Database IDs for DB2. In the script which translates 9.3 database to the 9.5 structure, capture the roles assigned to the views before they were dropped and recreate them so you can reassign those roles at the end of the process. It should also assign those roles to any new views created. For more information, see How can I avoid providing the database administrator credentials when creating the database with DB2
RFE 139348: The report output limit has been improved to avoid Dynamic Workload Console issues
The default value for the Enable output limit check box has been increased from 5000 to 10000. This enables you to obtain the expected report output, and the Dynamic Workload Console to continue to work correctly without issues.
Furthermore, if a different default value is needed, a user with administration grants can uncomment the new SQL_REPORT_HTML_FORMAT_RESULT_MAX_NUMBER key in the TDWCGlobalsettings.xml file and enter the desired default value (either higher or lower to the default 10000).
Note: For HTML format, the SQL_REPORT_HTML_FORMAT_RESULT_MAX_NUMBER key is valid for all reports. For PDF format, the key is valid for Custom reports only.

If you want to generate a report with less than 30000 records, you can use both HTML and PDF formats. If you want to generate a report with more than 30000 records, use only the PDF format to avoid reliability issues with the browser.

For further information about how to modify the TDWCGlobalsettings.xml file, see the Customizing your global settings section in the Dynamic Workload Console User's Guide.

RFE 140216: Update optman global Options through REST API
You can now use REST APIs to update global options, in addition to the standard optman command.
RFE 141849: Justification fields for Workload Application Template import operation
You can now maintain an audit trail recording any changes and the related justifications while creating workload application templates with the wappman command. For more information, see wappman.
RFE 143098: Add all authenticated users
Simply adding a line into the authentication file, now it is possible to add all new users to a group and - without any other configuration - they will be authorized to login into the Dynamic Workload Console.

From now it is not necessary to assign a role to every single user. If the user registry already contains groups of users that are properly defined for using the console, it is possible to assign roles to groups too. If groups are not available in the user registry, then the special role all authenticated users can be used to assign roles to all the users at once.

For more information, see the Configuring roles to access the Dynamic Workload Console

RFE 143162: Prevent job streams from completing in error when the start condition is not met
The new enStartCondSuccOnDeadline global option is now available to specify if you want your job stream to be canceled when the start condition is not met, even if the Start once option is not selected. By setting this option, you can avoid that your job stream completes in error due to just one failed run, also in the case when it previously ran successfully several times. With the new enStartCondSuccOnDeadline global option set to yes, when the deadline for the start condition is met, the monitoring job is confirmed in SUCC status and the job stream is canceled. When the option is set to no, the monitoring job is killed, so both the monitoring job and the job stream change to ABEND status. For more information, see Global options - detailed description.
RFE 143169/143839: Managing an event rule in the Dynamic Workload Console
Usability improvements for event rule actions such as editing, duplicating, and deleting event rules in the Dynamic Workload Console Workload Designer. In addition, more space is now provided in the properties section for events and actions.
RFE 143196: possibility to select object to be imported during a WAT import
You can now select the objects to be imported while creating a workload application template and skip unwanted objects. For more information, see wappman.
RFE 143260: Latest Start included in the critical path list and hot list
To identify problems related to a critical path that has a potential or high risk, the Latest Start time is now included in the critical path, in the hot list, and in the results of a monitor critical job query in the Dynamic Workload Console. The time before which the job must start is displayed provided all dependencies are satisfied.

Event rules have never been so easy

A brand new experience that optimizes the creation and editing of event rules.

A modernized user experience that makes the definition of event rules easier, intuitive, and well-organized, thanks to the folder-based structure. Not only the visual usability has been enhanced, but also the whole management of the event rule definitions, their properties and the interactions with them. A lot of news? Don’t worry, the new contextual help can guide you through the new interface and its fields. On the home page, you can find the page-related topics, and if they are not sufficient, you can search for what you need by using the search bar. Furthermore, by clicking on a field, the help automatically updates itself and shows you the information about the selected field.

Dashboard: See the data from more than one engine at the same time

It is now possible to select more than one engine in the dashboard and see the related results in the widgets.

Organize scheduling objects in workflow folders

Gain greater business agility by organizing your scheduling objects in a hierarchy of folders. Organize them by lines of business, departments, geographies, or any custom category that makes sense for your business operations.

With this fix pack, you can now organize the following scheduling objects into workflow folders:
  • jobs
  • job streams
  • workstations
  • workstation classes
  • calendars
  • event rules
  • prompts
  • resources
  • run cycle groups
  • variable tables
  • workload applications

Folders also simplify security access. Associate access control lists to individual folders to restrict the rights to which folder any single user or group can access. You can also delegate security management of a specific folder and its sub-folders to other users.

Satisfying Requests for Enhancements (RFEs)

RFEs give customers the opportunity to collaborate directly with the product development team and other users. The team prioritizes and develops new product features based on proposals made by customers. HCL Workload Automation V9.5 Fix Pack 2 delivers the following RFEs:

RFE 134569: Dynamic Workload Console 9.5 not rendering properly (height) in resolutions over 1100px

The Dynamic Workload Console now supports the customization of every resolution.

RFE 139443 - The Dynamic Workload Console does not accept special characters (#, $ etc. ) in the Application Description name but these characters are allowed in HCL Workload Automation is available on Workload Automation YouTube channel

Special characters are valid for the z/OS job stream name, which corresponds to the application ID.

RFE 137969 - Dynamic Workload Console Explore: ITEMS visible in List View

Workload Designer explore is now available with list view along with data view. By default, data view will be listed in Dynamic Workload Console when explore option is clicked. List view can be traversed from explore view and gives the details Name, type, workstation and object locked by. It is easy to switch between the views from explore and once the view is switched, it retains the last view for easy reference in Dynamic Workload Console.

RFE 133169: Additional query filter criteria has been added for multiple homogeneous engines

When monitoring your workload from the Dynamic Workload Console with a multiple engine selection, only filters in common between distributed and z/OS engines were shown. This behavior is still valid for the selection of non-homogeneous engines. For multiple homogeneous engines, the same filter options for a single engine are now available.

RFE 139843: Possibility to specify the maximum number of objects shown in each graphical view

By changing a property in the setting file it is now possible to edit the maximum number of objects shown in a graphical view. see this section for more information: Override graphical view limits.

Features introduced with Fix Pack 1

File transfer job plug-in enhancements
Version 9.5 Fix Pack 1 delivers the following enhancements to the File transfer job plug-in:
RFE 124923: Appending text to an existing file
The file transfer job plug-in now includes an option to append the data contained in the transferred file to the existing file on the destination system. This avoids overwriting the existing file and preserves any changes that were made to the file prior to the transfer. The option applies to file transfers of type download and for files encoded as text.
RFE 127294: Specifying FTP SIte subcommands
An option has been added for file transfers originating from a distributed environment to a z/OS target workstation, using the FTP protocol, to specify SIte subcommands. For example, you can specify a subcommand to define primary and secondary space allocations.
RFE 123295: Deleting a source file after an upload transfer
An option has been added to specify if you want to delete the source files after a file transfer of type "upload".
Delegating administrator privileges on folders to other users

The IBM Workload Scheduler administrator can grant permissions to a user on a folder so that the user can freely create new access control lists or modify existing access control lists on the folder or any sub-folders to which the user has been delegated administrator permissions. The user can in turn give access to the folder or sub-folder to other users by specifying an existing role to which the user wants to grant the access, as well as the folder. In this way, the IBM Workload Scheduler administrator can delegate the security to various organizations in the business to other users who can act independently as administrators for that organization.

A new access type "acl" has been added for folder objects. With this type of access, users can create access control lists for the folder assigned to them by assigning predefined roles to users and groups on the entire folder hierarchy or on specific sub-folders.

For more information about delegating permissions on folders, see Managing folders.

OpenID Connect Provider as an identity provider
Enable web single sign-on and use the OpenID Connect Provider as an identity provider.

Client applications, for example, the Dynamic Workload Console, can verify the identity of a user by relying on authentication from an OpenID Connect Provider. You can configure the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base server to function as an OpenID Connect Client to take advantage of web single sign-on and to use the OpenID Connect Provider as an identity provider.

To simplify the configuration of the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base server, a sample configuration file in XML format is provided.

For more information about configuring WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base server to function as an OpenID Connect Client, see Configuring an OpenID Connect Client.

Workload dashboard improvements
With the latest release, new enhancements have been added to the workload dashboard.
  • Simplification of the use of the Table widget combined with Engine list datasource: By selecting the Engine list and the Table widget, the related fields are automatically displayed in the list without the need to add them manually.
  • Light redesign of KPI and Bar chart widgets, with different colors and a smoother style.
  • Additional widgets: Bubble chart and Free text. The Bubble chart represents data with a series of bubbles in descending order and size. The bubbles might change in dimension and position according to the variation of data. The Free text gives the possibility to have useful notes at your fingertips.
Broker CLI commands
The resource and jobstore commands have been reactivated.
Note: To make Broker cli and Broker UI work, both Dynamic Workload Console and master domain manager should be updated to the version 9.5, Fix Pack 1.
Updated version of WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base
Fix pack 1 has been tested using WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base version 19.0.0.4 and 19.0.0.5
Enhancements in the Reports feature
  • Folders in reports are now fully supported.
  • Reports are now supported on MSSQL and Oracle databases

Known limitations and workarounds

The following are software limitations and workarounds that affect Dynamic Workload Console version 9.5.0 Fix Pack 5. For a list of known problems and limitations documented for the V9.5 General Availability release, refer to the Release Notes.

9.5 Fix Pack 5

Some field names are longer due to folder support
The integrations described in manual Integrating with Other Products might be impacted by the new field size for some scheduling objects. The size of the fields listed below has changed from 16 to 817 bytes with the introduction of folder support. The impacted fields are:
  • workstation
  • schedCpu
  • origSchedName
  • schedName
  • jobCPU
  • prompt
  • needs

Each of these fields in Workload Automation events will be reported into the BmEvents.conf file with a length of 817 bytes. If no folder were specified, the field will be printed as 817 with blank values.

No Monitor Operator Messages available when updating with Centralized Update process with the event processor configured in SSL mode
When running the Centralized Agent Update from version 95 Fix Pack 4 to version 95 Fix Pack 5 with the event processor configured in SSL mode, no Monitor Operator Messages are displayed for either fault-tolerant agents and dynamic agents.
Missing parameters in Reporting
In the reports available from the Managed Personalized Reports and Personalized Reports pages, parameters are missing.
MSSQL database configuration error on Windows operating systems
When configuring the MSSQL database on a Dynamic Workload Console installed on a Windows operating system, you might encounter the following error message, which causes the configuration process to fail:
WAINST087E No suitable drivers found
To work around this problem, perform the following steps:
  1. Browse to the launchUpgradeIWSDB.bat file, located in DWC_image\dblighttool.
  2. Add the DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\mssql-jdbc-9.4.0.jre8.jar string to line 23 in the launchUpgradeIWSDB.bat file:
    set CLASSPATH="%PACKAGE_DIR:"=%\jars\IWSDBUpgradelib.jar";
    "%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\ojdbc6.jar";"%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\ojdbc5.jar";
    "%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\ojdbc7.jar";"%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\ojdbc8.jar";
    "%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\ojdbc14.jar";"%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\classes12.zip";
    "%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\db2jcc4.jar";"%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\db2jcc.jar";
    "%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar";
    "%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\sqljdbc4.jar";
    "%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\mssql-jdbc-6.4.0.jre8.jar";

    "%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\log4j-api-2.16.0.jar";
    "%DB_HOME_DIR:"=%\bson-3.12.7.jar"
  3. Launch the configuredb script again.

Workaround: Save the query before the engine selection and paste the query in the field.

The new SAP option fields in the editor are not available for the Dynamic Workload Console
The following fields: MAX_JOBS_TO_RELEASE_FOR_USER and RELEASE_ALL_INTERCEPTED_JOBS_FOR_REQUEST, added in the latest version of HCL Workload Automation, are not present in the Dynamic Workload Console SAP editor.

Workaround: Open the editor and add the field to the list.

Widgets in dashboard with two or more engines selected, do not display correct data
Selection of more than one engine is fully supported only when two or more engines Version 9.5 FP2 are selected, therefore when two or more engines of different versions are selected, the widgets of job and job streams do not display correct data.
Workaround: Duplicate the dashboard, duplicate the datasources and remove the filter for folders in the query. Use the following query to include different engines to the monitor of the jobs @#@.@ and this query for job streams @#@
Import of Self-Service Dashboards
After the import of the settings from a Self-Service Dashboards, only the definitions are imported.
Query from two or more engines of different versions may be incomplete

  • 1280X800
Widgets in the Default Distributed Dashboard does not retrieve data correctly from Critical Jobs datasource
When trying to retrieve data from a critical job datasource, only critical jobs in the root folder will be retrieved.

Workaround: To retrieve critical jobs from all folders path, clone the critical jobs datasource and insert the following filters /*/*

Problems with Critical Jobs in the Monitoring Panel
When trying to retrieve a list of Critical Jobs from the Monitoring Panel without specifying the folders in the query, it will only return the Critical Jobs in the root folder.

Workaround: Always specify the folder in the query.

Dynamic Workload Console erroneously replaces DOCOMMAND WITH SCRIPTNAME
If you modify the jobs in the FINAL and FINALPOSTREPORTS job streams from the Dynamic Workload Console, after saving the changes, the Dynamic Workload Console replaces DOCOMMAND back with SCRIPTNAME.

Workaround: Only use the composer command line to replace SCRIPTNAME with DOCOMMAND in the jobs contained in the FINAL and FINALPOSTREPORTS job streams.

Issue related to the import of a Workload Application Template
The import of a Workload Application Template from V95FP1 to V95FP2 with nested dependencies may not be working as expected, if the folders are not mapped in the V95FP2 environment.

Workaround: Before the import of the Workload Application Template, recreate the folder structure that you are importing from FP1.

Problems when using filters
When you have a backup master domain manager at V9.5 Fix Pack 2, but the master domain manager is still at a previous product version level, problems can occur when monitoring objects that support the definition in a folder such as, prompts, workstations, and resources, as well as objects that contain the workstation in their object identifier, for example, job streams. More specifically these objects are not displayed in the results of the monitoring query on the plan if you use filters in your query.

Workaround: Upgrade the master to the V9.5FP2 level and then run planman resynch to resolve the issue.

Configuring your master domain manager in SSL mode

If you plan to install your master domain manager, Version 9.5 Fix Pack 5 in SSL mode or plan to upgrade to Version 9.5 Fix Pack 5 and set up your master domain manager in SSL mode, perform the following steps:
  1. Install the master domain manager or upgrade your current master domain manager to version 9.5.0.5
  2. Replace the values of the following parameters in the localopts file with the following values:
    • nm SSL full port = 31113
    • SSL key =TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/TWSClient.key
    • SSL certificate = TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/TWSClient.cer
    • SSL key pwd = TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/password.sth
    • SSL CA certificate = TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/TWSTrustCertificates.cer
    • SSL random seed =TWA_home/TWS/ssl/OpenSSL/TWS.rnd
    • SSL Encryption Cipher = TLSv1.2
    For more information about the localopts file, see Setting local options.
  3. Modify the master domain manager and broker using the composer mod command, as follows:
    CCPUNAME your_master_domain_manager_workstation
    
      DESCRIPTION "MANAGER CPU"
    
      OS UNIX
    
      NODE localhost TCPADDR 31111
    
      SECUREADDR 31113
    
      DOMAIN MASTERDM
    
      FOR MAESTRO
    
        TYPE MANAGER
    
        AUTOLINK ON
    
        BEHINDFIREWALL OFF
    
        SECURITYLEVEL FORCE_ENABLED
    
        FULLSTATUS ON
    
    END
    CPUNAME your_broker_workstation
    
      DESCRIPTION "This workstation was automatically created."
    
      OS OTHER
    
      NODE localhost TCPADDR 41114
    
      SECUREADDR 41114
    
      DOMAIN MASTERDM
    
      FOR MAESTRO
    
        TYPE BROKER
    
        AUTOLINK ON
    
        BEHINDFIREWALL OFF
    
        SECURITYLEVEL FORCE_ENABLED
    
        FULLSTATUS OFF
    
    END
  4. Modify the Broker.Workstation.PortSSL parameter in the BrokerWorkstation.properties file from false to true.

    The Broker.Workstation.PortSSL parameter specifies the port used by the broker server to listen to the incoming traffic (equivalent to the Netman port) in SSL mode. It is first assigned at installation time. This port number must always be the same for all the broker servers that you define in your HCL Workload Automation network (one with the master domain manager and one with every backup master domain manager you install) to ensure consistency when you switch masters.

  5. Stop and start WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base, as described in Application server - starting and stopping.
  6. Stop and start all HCL Workload Automation processes.
  7. Run
    Jnextplan -for 0000

    #############  SECTION 6 - USER REGISTRY                                    ###########
    #######################################################################################
       In this section you can configure properties related to the User Registry in use.
      
       The property groupIdMap is related to the groups of User Registry, and can be modified
       to map and display the specified value of each group. By default the common name
       of the group is displayed.
      
       The property importSettingsMaxFileSize is related to the "Manage settings" > "Import Settings"
       functionality and defines the max file size of the uploaded TDWCSettings.xml.
       KB is the unit of measure, and by default, it is set to 102400 KB (100 MB).
       If you need to upload a property file bigger than 100MB, you can increase this value, but
       for security purposes, it is strongly suggested to revert the file size back to the default
       value once the import has been performed.

    
    
        <security>
            <property name="groupIdMap" value="cn"></property>
            <property name="importSettingsMaxFileSize" value="102400"></property>
        </security>

		#############  SECTION 7 - Z/OS HTTP CONNECTIONS                            ###########
		#######################################################################################
	
	Use this section to increase or decrease timeout for http connection in Z/OS
	environment. Change this setting if you receive a connection timeout
	using plugin actions/picklists.
	
	The setting is in milliseconds.
	
		
			<http>
				<property name="zosHttpTimeout" value="90000" />

    #######################################################################################
	#########  SECTION 8 -  LIMIT THE NUMBER OF OBJECTS RETURNED BY THE QUERIES ###########
	#######################################################################################

	    Use this section to configure: the number of results displayed for Monitor tasks, the maximum number of rows
	    to display on each page, and the number of direct queries to maintain in history.
        This setting applies to all tasks except for Monitor critical jobs and Monitor jobs on multiple engines.
        If you want to limit the number of results produced by your queries, you can specify the maximum number of items that must be retrieved. 
		The default value is -1; any value lower than 0 means that there is no limit in the number of objects  retrieved. 
		The minimum number of retrieved results is 500. Because data is extracted in blocks of 250 rows, 
        the value you enter is adjusted to complete an entire block. For example, if you specify a limit of 500, 
        only 500 elements are retrieved, while if you specify a limit of 600, 750 elements are retrieved.
		To set the maximum number of rows to display in a table view, configure the maxRowsToDisplay property.
        To set the maximum number of direct queries to maintain in history, configure the maxHistoryCount property. 
        These queries are available from the pull-down for the Query field on the Direct Query page.

	
						
	<monitor>
		  <property name="monitorMaxObjectsPM" value="2000"></property>
	</monitor>
	<monitor>
		<property name="maxRowsToDisplay" value="25"></property>
	</monitor>
	
	
	 You modify the number of archived plans displayed in the Monitor Workload view of the Dynamic 
	 Workload Console. The default number is 30 plans.
	
	
	<monitor>
		<property name="maxArchivedPlan"value="30"></property>

	    #########  SECTION 9 - LIMIT TASK AND ENGINE SHARING                   ###########
	    ##################################################################################

	Use this section to prevent users from sharing tasks and engines.
        By default there is no limit to task and engine sharing and all users are authorized to share 
        their tasks and engine connections. If you want to change this behavior, preventing users from 
        sharing tasks and engines, set this property to true. The property default value is false, 
        set it to true to enable the limit: 

	
						
		<security>
			<property name="limitShareTask"     value="false" /> 
			<property name="limitShareEngine"   value="false" /> 
		</security>
	


    #######################################################################################

    #######################################################################################
	
	Use this section to change the default behavior of the UI when displaying 
	dependencies in	the dependencies panel. By setting this value to true, by default, 
	all dependencies are displayed, and not just the unsatisfied ones.

 	
		<ShowDependencies>
			<property name = "AlwaysShowAllDependencies" value="true"></property>
		</ShowDependencies>

	

    ###################################################################################### 
    ##### SECTION 11 - CHANGE DEFAULT BEHAVIOR FOR SSC AND SSD AUDITING        ###########
    ######################################################################################
    Use this section to change the default behavior of the auditing of activities performed
    using the Self-Service Catalog and the Self-Service Dashboards application. By default,
    auditing is enabled. You can also set the maximum size of the log file before it rolls
    over to a new log file, and the maximum number of log files maintained.

 
		<SSCMAuditing>
			<property name = "SSAuditing"         value="true"></property>
