Installing

Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS connector requires the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server. If the installation program does not detect the existence of the WebSphere Application Server on the destination computer, it installs an instance of the embedded WebSphere Application Server.

There are several ways to install the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS connector. They are:

Installation wizard

Setup files are available to start the installation wizard on all supported operating systems. The wizard guides you through the installation steps. See Installing using the wizard in interactive mode for details.

This method of installation requires Java Virtual Machine to be installed on the computer where you run it.

Silent mode

You can use this method to run the installation process unattended and in the background. In silent mode, a response file provides the relevant information to the installation process, which is run in the background. First, you customize a response file by adding all the configuration settings needed during installation. Then, from the command line, you run the setup command. See Installing using the wizard in silent mode for details.
