Quick steps to define a Tivoli Workload Scheduler engine connection

After logging in to the Dynamic Workload Console using the administrator userid or another userid with assigned TWSWEBUIAdministrator or TWSWEBUIConfigurator roles, use the following steps to create an engine connection to one of your supported Tivoli Workload Scheduler engines.

Note:
If you installed the Dynamic Workload Console into a Tivoli Workload Automation instance that had the embedded WebSphere Application Server already installed, the connection to the Tivoli Workload Scheduler component (for example, master domain manager, backup master domain manager, or connector) is automatically defined with blank credentials. The connection is shared with all the Dynamic Workload Console users and no further credentials are needed because Single Sign On is automatically implemented for the component. The same situation applies if you install a Tivoli Workload Scheduler component into a Tivoli Workload Automation instance where the Dynamic Workload Console and the embedded WebSphere Application Server are already installed.
  1. To expand the tree, click the Dynamic Workload Console and Tivoli Workload Scheduler.
  2. Select Quick start
  3. Click New Engine.
  4. In the Engine Connection Properties window, assign a name to the engine connection and specify:
    Engine Type
    Either z/OS® or Distributed. This is the type of the Tivoli Workload Scheduler engine to connect to.
    Hostname
    The hostname or IP address of system where the distributed engine or the z/OS connector, for z/OS engine types, runs.
    PortNumber
    The bootstrap port number for the Tivoli Workload Scheduler engine. Default values are 31117 for distributed engine, and 31217 for z/OS connector.
    Remote Server Name
    This setting is valid and mandatory only for z/OS engines. It is the value specified when the engine was created in the z/OS connector. It must exactly match the z/OS connector engine name and is case sensitive. If the engine was defined using the WASTOOLS "createZosEngine" COMMAND, this is the value specified in the -name parameter. This is the name of the remote server of the engine as it is specified in the z/OS connector.
    Userid and Password
    The user ID and password that are used to connect to the engine. This setting allows access to Tivoli Workload Scheduler from the Dynamic Workload Console. The authorization assigned to the user in the Tivoli Workload Scheduler security file determines the operations allowed.
    If you want to test the connection to the Tivoli Workload Scheduler database (mandatory for managing reporting and event management functions), you must select Enable reporting and specify the user credentials.
  5. Click Test Connection to check that the configuration was successful and that the Dynamic Workload Console is communicating with the selected engine. If the test connection fails, see Tivoli® Workload Scheduler: Troubleshooting Guide.
    Note:
    Make sure you run Post-installation steps to connect to Tivoli Workload Scheduler Version 8.3 Fix Pack 3 before testing the engine connection if you are connecting to a Tivoli Workload Scheduler version 8.3 Fix Pack 3 engine or z/OS Connectors.
