TWS - How to add a new workstation

Below are the steps to add a new FTA to your Tivoli Workload Scheduler environment.

Create a file, ws.txt, with the workstation definition,like this

CPUNAME MACHINE_NAME
  OS UNIX
  NODE MACHINE_NAME TCPADDR 31111
  DOMAIN MASTERDM
  FOR MAESTRO
    TYPE FTA
    AUTOLINK ON
    BEHINDFIREWALL OFF
    FULLSTATUS OFF
    SERVER D
END


Run this command to add the workstation

composer add ws.txt

To start the netman process on the workstation, login to the workstation as the tws_user, and run this command
StartUp
or
/opt/IBM/TWS/TWS/StartUp 


To create the Symphony file on the workstation, run this command on the master
JnextPlan -for 0000


To link the  new workstation to the master, run this from the master
conman 'link MACHINE_NAME'

To raise the limit of the number of jobs that can be run on the machine at one time,
conman 'lc MACHINE_NAME;40'

Once this is done, you can start scheduling new jobs on this workstation.
