Download Description

IBM Workload Automation is a set of products provided by IBM to automate all workload management tasks. IBM Workload Scheduler is the base product (engine) that helps you automate, plan, and control every phase of your workload production.

If you buy the license for IBM Workload Scheduler, you are also entitled to use the IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent. You can find all the information related to the IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent in this Download document.

The access methods and plug-ins formerly packaged as a separate installable product named IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for Applications, are now automatically installed when you install IBM Workload Scheduler. However, to be entitled to use them, you must purchase a separate chargeable component named IBM Workload Scheduler for Applications. You can find all the information related to the access methods and plug-ins in this Download document.

IBM Workload Scheduler is fully functional using its built-in commands. However, you can also use the Dynamic Workload Console graphical user interface to perform all of the product functions:

           
Dynamic Workload Console Install this to perform scheduling object database management, plan management, workload monitoring, event management operations, and the running of reports.

You can also use the console to operate IBM Workload Scheduler for z/OS.

RDBMS support

      

IBM Workload Scheduler requires RDBMS support  and supports DB2®, Oracle, Informix Dynamic Server, and Microsoft SQL Server. This version of IBM Workload Scheduler is bundled with a supported version of DB2.

To use the bundled version, download the following electronic images for your platform:

  • DB2 Workgroup Server Edition and client
  • DB2 Activation
  • DB2 National Language Pack


Downloading and assembling the product

The electronic images (eImages) to download are described by platform in the tabbed sections of this document. Download them as follows:

     
  1. You can choose to download the eAssembly eImage for the platform, which contains the eImages for all of the components for that platform, or just the specific component eImage or eImages that you require. In either case, make a note of the eImage part numbers that you require and go to Passport Advantage Online. Use the part numbers in Passport Advantage to find each eImage and download it.

    On UNIX operating systems, you might have to set the ulimit parameter to unlimited if the eImage you want to download is larger than 1 GB.
