Issue/Introduction
Introduction/Summary:
ACA WAAE r11.3 instance can be configured for cross-instance dependency with a CA WAAE r11.0 instance.
Environment:
CA Workload Automation AE 11.3 and CA Workload Automation AE 11.0
Instructions:
To configure CA WAAE r11.3 for cross-instance scheduling:
Define an External Instance
To use cross-instance scheduling, you must define the external instance to CA Workload Automation AE. The external instance can be another CA Workload Automation AE instance or a scheduling manager running on another platform.
To define an external instance
1. Do one of the following:
Issue JIL to activate interactive mode.
2. Specify the following definition:
insert_xinst: instance_name
xtype: a | c | u | e
xmachine: host_name
Specifies the external instance type. Options include the following:
a - Identifies a remote CA Workload Automation AE application server instance.
c - Identifies a CA AutoSys Workload Automation Connect Option instance.
u - Identifies a CA Universal Job Management Agent or CA NSM instance.
e - Identifies a CA Workload Automation EE instance.
3. (CA Workload Automation AE instances only) Specify the following additional attributes:
xcrypt_type: NONE | DEFAULT | AES
xkey_to_manager: encryption_key
xport: port_number
Example:
insert_xinst: AC2
xtype: a
xmachine: machineB
xport: 9002
Note: When you configure 11.3 for cross-instance dependency with an 11.0 instance, xcrypt_type is NONE. The reason is, 11.0 is not compatible with the 11.3 or higher encryption types.
To configure CA WAAE r11.0 for cross-instance scheduling:
1. Do one of the following:
Issue JIL to activate interactive mode.
2. Specify the following definition:
insert_xinst Subcommand-Add a Cross-Instance Definition
This subcommand has the following format:
insert_xinst: external_instance
xtype: a
xmachine: machinename\:port
This example defines a Unicenter AutoSys JM Application Server external instance called ACE to run on machineA and port 9000:
insert_xinst: ACE
xtype: a
xmachine: machineA\:9000
Example: Define Multiple Unicenter AutoSys JM Application Server External Instances
This example defines multiple Unicenter AutoSys JM Application Server external instances called ACE to run on machineA at port 9000 and on machineB at port 9001:
insert_xinst: ACE
xtype: a
xmachine: machineA\:9000
xmachine: machineB\:9001
Additional Information:
Configuration information for CA WAAE r11.3 for cross-instance scheduling is describe in the CA Workload Automation AE Implementation Guide for releases 11.3 and above.
Configuration information CA WAAE r11.0 for cross-instance scheduling is describe in the CA WAAE r11.0 User Guide
In order for cross-instance to work between the 11.3x and 11.0. instances wide encryption must be disabled. Since CA Workload Automation AE 11.0 use instance wide encryption.
