HCL Workload Automation user interfaces
- Single Entry Point
- Single Entry Point is a web-based page to access all the HCL Workload Automation user interfaces:
- Dynamic Workload Console
- Self Service UIs (Self-Service Catalog and Self-Service Dashboards)
Single Entry Point is a role-based interface that you can access from any computer in your environment by using a web browser through the secure HTTPS.
Single Entry Point provides quick links to the most important Dynamic Workload Console tasks: connect your engines, design your workload, monitor your workload, and dashboard. With Single Entry Point you can access the mobile applications, the Self-Service Catalog and the Self-Service Dashboards, through the link or the Qrcode.
- Dynamic Workload Console
- A
Web-based user interface available for viewing and controlling scheduling
activities in production on both the HCL Workload Automation distributed
and z/OS environments. With the Dynamic Workload Console you
can use any supported browser to access the HCL Workload Automation environment
from any location in your network. You can use the Dynamic Workload Console to:
- Define scheduling objects in the HCL Workload Automation database
- Browse and manage scheduling objects involved in current plan activities
- Create and control connections to HCL Workload Automation environments
- Submit jobs and job streams in production
- Set user preferences
- Create and manage event rules
- Define and manage mission-critical jobs
Dynamic Workload Console must be installed on a server that can reach the HCL Workload Automation nodes using network connections. See the HCL Workload Automation: Planning and Installation for information.
- composer
- A command-line program used to define and manage scheduling objects in the database. This interface program and its use are described in Defining scheduling objects and Managing objects in the database - composer.
- conman
- A command-line program used to monitor and control the HCL Workload Automation production plan processing. This interface program is described in Managing objects in the plan - conman.
- Java™ API and plug-ins
- A set of available classes and methods running in a JAVA environment that you use to create your custom interface to manage scheduling objects in the database and in the plan. This API cannot be used to create your custom interface to set global options. In addition, you can use and modify a set of plug-ins that perform specific tasks, or create your own plug-ins. The API is available through a Software Development Kit, which is part of the product. For more information and to learn how to access the documentation of the API and plug-ins, refer to Developer's Guide: Extending HCL Workload Automation.
- optman
- A command-line program used to manage the settings that affect the entire HCL Workload Automation environment. These settings, also called global options, are stored in the database. This interface program is described in the HCL Workload Automation: Administration Guide.
- planman
- A command-line program used to manage the HCL Workload Automation planning capability. This interface program is described in Planman command line.
- Web Services Interface
- An interface that provides you with a web services based access mechanism to a subset of functionality used to manage jobs and job streams in the plan. It does not allow you to manage the plan, to set global options, to manage objects in the database. For more information refer to Developer's Guide: Driving HCL Workload Automation for Z.
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 and optman command-line programs and to run planman showinfo and planman unlock commands.
For information on how to set the options needed to allow a user to access the command-line interfaces, refer to Setting up options for using the user interfaces.
