Tivoli Workload Automation, Version 9.2

twsinst needs long time to run if the machine does not have enough temporary space

About this task

Problem:

If the machine does not have enough temporary space, the agent installation performed by using the twsinst script needs a long time to run, due to concomitant use of the temporary directory by the twsinst script and by the check prerequisites script started by thetwsinst script.

Cause and solution:

You can solve the long time execution problem by manually running the prereq_checker.sh script on UNIX and Linux operating systems and prereq_checker.bat script on Windows operating systems, that performs the check prerequisites process before running the twsinst.

You can manually run the check prerequisites script, by performing the following steps:

On Windows operating systems:

Log on as Administrator on the machine where you want to install the agent.
Go to the <CD-ROM>\Prerequisites directory where <CD-ROM> is the directory where you mounted the CD-ROM.
Run:
Dynamic agent or Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent
```
prereq_checker.bat "DA1 09010000" 
-p "DA1.inst_dir=<TWS_INST_DIR>,DA1.work_dir=<TEMP_DIR>"
```
where <TWS_INST_DIR> is the Tivoli Workload Scheduler installation directory and <TEMP_DIR> is the temporary directory.
Fault tolerant-agent
```
prereq_checker.bat "FTA 09010000" 
-p "FTA.inst_dir=<TWS_INST_DIR>,,FTA.work_dir=<TEMP_DIR>"
```
where <TWS_INST_DIR> is the Tivoli Workload Scheduler installation directory and <TEMP_DIR> is the temporary directory.

On UNIX and Linux operating systems:

Log on as root on the machine where you want to install the agent.
Go to the <CD-ROM>\Prerequisites directory where <CD-ROM> is the directory where you mounted the CD-ROM.
Run:
Dynamic agent or Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent
```
 ./prereq_checker.sh "DA1 09010000,TWA 09010000" 
 -p "DA1.inst_dir=<TWS_INST_DIR>,DA1.work_dir=<TEMP_DIR>"
```
where <TWS_INST_DIR> is the Tivoli Workload Scheduler installation directory and <TEMP_DIR> is the temporary directory.

 ./prereq_checker.sh "FTA 09010000,TWA 09010000" 
 -p "FTA.inst_dir=<TWS_INST_DIR>,FTA.work_dir=<TEMP_DIR>"
```
where <TWS_INST_DIR> is the Tivoli Workload Scheduler installation directory and <TEMP_DIR> is the temporary directory.
