PrefaceIBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler is a strategic, multiplatform distributedscheduling product that provides high-volume, complex scheduling capability.Although Tivoli Workload Scheduler provides native support for many platformsand applications, its robust scheduling capabilities can be extended to coveradditional platforms and applications by writing an extended agent.This IBM Redbook shows how to write a Tivoli Workload Scheduler Version 8.2extended agent to schedule jobs on IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. With theextended agent, you can schedule on platforms and applications for which TivoliWorkload Scheduler has no native agent, as well as integrate IBM Tivoli StorageManager with Tivoli Workload Scheduler. The Tivoli Workload Schedulerscheduling facility enables you to assign dependencies among tasks scheduledthrough Tivoli Storage Manager or to assign limits or priorities. By extendingTivoli Storage Manager to schedule these Tivoli Storage Manager tasks, you cantake advantage of its advanced scheduling capabilities.This book will be essential for those who write a Tivoli Workload Schedulerextended agent for any platform in general, or use the extended agent providedin this book (TSM Extended Agent) to schedule Tivoli Storage Manager tasks.The team that wrote this redbookThis redbook was produced by a team of specialists from around the worldworking at the International Technical Support Organization, Austin Center.Vasfi Gucer is an IBM Certified Consultant IT Specialist working at the ITSOAustin Center.

1Chapter 1.IntroductionThis redbook is designed to illustrate the implementation of a Tivoli WorkloadScheduler (TWS) extended agent. The implementation the redbook teamdesigned facilitates a communication between Tivoli Workload Scheduler V8.2and Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) V5.3 to initiate regularly scheduled tasks onthe TSM server. The TSM server-prompted scheduling facility enables us toinitiate client backups on machines defined as TSM clients in server-promptedscheduling mode. Copyright IBM Corp. 2005. All rights reserved.1
1.1 Tivoli Workload Scheduler overviewTivoli Workload Scheduler is a multiplatform distributed scheduling system thatprovides high-volume, complex scheduling capability. A powerful schedulinglanguage allows for precise coding of job streams with dependencies on otherjobs, files, virtual resources, operator prompts, and jobs in other schedulingenvironments.A Java -based graphical user interface (GUI) known as the Job SchedulingConsole (JSC) provides the user with the option of a dialog-based graphicalinterface. JSC enables a user to create and modify scheduling objects, to createan execution plan for a batch workload, and to monitor and manage the planwhen it is executing. The more experienced user can use a command lineinterface (CLI) for monitoring, scheduling, and troubleshooting.In this book, we explore the application programming interface (API) that enablesTWS to be integrated with any application with a CLI or API. Chapter 8 of theTivoli Workload Scheduler 8.2 Reference Guide, SC32-1274, provides anoverview of the TWS extended agent API.Job scheduling in TWS has two aspects: the database and the plan. Thedatabase contains all of the definitions for scheduling objects (for example, jobs,job streams, resources, and workstations). It also holds statistics about job andjob stream execution, as well as information about the user ID that created anobject and when an object was last modified. The plan contains all job schedulingactivity planned for a one-day period. In TWS, the plan is created every 24 hoursand consists of all jobs, job streams, dependencies, and other scheduling objectsreferenced in the upcoming day. All job streams for which you have created a runcycle are automatically scheduled and included in the plan. At the end of the day,the jobs and job streams not successfully executed can be rolled over into thenext day’s plan.For more information about Tivoli Workload Scheduler V8.2, refer to IBM TivoliWorkload Scheduler Version 8.2: New Features and Best Practices, SG24-6628.1.1.1 Software configurations used for this redbookAn IBM RS/6000 F50 workstation running AIX V5.2 was used in thedevelopment of this redbook.

1.1.2 Tivoli Workload Scheduler concepts and terminologyTWS uses these important concepts: Job streams and calendarsThe job streams that are created using the JSC are central to the product’sability to manage batch job execution. Each job stream is scheduled to run ona specific set of dates and times, and consists of a list of jobs that execute asa unit (such as the weekly backup application), along with times, priorities,and other dependencies that determine the exact order of execution.Job streams are dated using actual dates, days of the week, or calendars. Acalendar is a set of specific dates. You can create as many calendars asrequired to meet your scheduling needs. For example, you can define acalendar named PAYDAYS containing a list of pay dates, a calendar namedMONTHEND containing a list of each last business day of the month for thecurrent year, and a calendar named HOLIDAYS containing a list of yourcompany’s holidays. At the start of each processing day, TWS automaticallyselects all job streams that run on that day, and carries forward uncompletedjob streams from the previous day. WorkstationsA workstation usually is an individual computer on which jobs and job streamsare executed. A workstation definition is required for every computer thatexecutes jobs in the TWS network. Workstation definitions primarily refer tophysical workstations.However, in the case of extended agents and network agents, workstationsare logical definitions that must be hosted by a physical TWS workstation.A TWS network has several types of workstations:– Master domain managerThe domain manager in the topmost domain of a TWS network. It containsthe centralized database files used to document scheduling objects. Itcreates the production plan at the start of each day, and performs alllogging and reporting for the network.– Domain managerA domain manager acts as a repeater, which enables TWS to scale tolarge numbers of machines. The domain manager forwards messagesbetween the master domain manager and the agents.– Backup masterA Fault-tolerant Agent capable of temporarily assuming the responsibilitiesof its domain manager in a failover situation. This is enabled by markingthe workstation as Full Status and Resolve Dependencies.Chapter 1. Introduction3
– Fault-tolerant AgentA workstation capable of resolving local dependencies and launching itsjobs in the absence of a domain manager. The Fault-tolerant Agent isinitialized at the beginning of the production day with all of the schedulingobjects needed to perform the assigned workload.– Standard agentA workstation that launches jobs only under the direction of its domainmanager. Each job launch on the standard agent is directed in real time bythe domain manager or master.– Extended agentA logical workstation definition that enables you to launch and control jobson other systems and applications, such as PeopleSoft, Oracleapplications, SAP R/3, and MVS JES2 and JES3. Users can also writeextended agents, as presented in this redbook.– Network agentA logical workstation definition for creating dependencies between jobsand job streams in separate TWS networks.1.1.3 Tivoli Workload Scheduler architectureThe master domain manager contains the centralized database files that areused to store scheduling objects. It creates the production plan at the start ofeach day, distributes the plan to the Fault-tolerant Agents and domain managersin the master domain, and logs all transactions on the TWS network.All communications to agents are routed through the domain manager (themanagement hub in a domain). The network can be managed by a mix ofagents. Fault-tolerant Agents can resolve local dependencies and launch jobs if anetwork interruption causes them to lose communication with their domainmanagers, because each one has a copy of the current plan (schedulinginstructions for a given day) at the beginning of every processing day.1.1.4 Extended agentsTWS extended agents are programs that enable TWS to manipulate and getinformation about objects in other application environments. Extended agentsuse open scheduling APIs and protocols, and they provide an effectivemechanism for extending TWS scheduling capabilities to foreign platforms and4Implementing IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler V 8.2 Extended Agent for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
applications. Extended agents also allow segregation of applications at theworkstation level by providing an alternative method to the jobmanrc process.This enables some applications to be treated differently using an alternative jobscheduling method.Figure 1-1 shows the connection between TWS and an extended agent. Theextended agent is installed on one of the TWS hosts. TWS accepts informationfrom the extended agent through an interface called the access method, which isa shell script or program that resides in the TWSHOME/methods directory.Figure 1-1 Extended agent networkFigure 1-2 on page 6 explains extended agent processing. The sequence ofoperations follows.Note: This explanation does not consider network communication issues.Even though the extended agent must reside on a Fault-tolerant Agent, it mayinterface with APIs on other hosts. This is commonly done via socketconnections or application clients.1. Batchman process on the Fault-tolerant Agent talks to the jobman(jobman.exe on a Microsoft Windows system), which is owned by the TWSinstall user ID on Windows.2. Jobman invokes JOBMAN (jobmon.exe on an Windows system) process inthe context of the TWS user (maestro, for example).3. JOBMAN talks to the access method.4. The access method invokes a Remote Function Call (RFC).5. The access method consults with the method.opts file.6. The access method talks to the system or the application’s job.Chapter 1. Introduction5
7. The access method and the job communicate with each other.8. The method passes the information back to the TWS host through JOBMAN.Figure 1-2 Extended agent processingThe JOBMAN process launches the access method script to perform one ofthese tasks: Launch a job.Manage a job.Check for the existence of a file to satisfy an OPENS dependency.Get the status of an external job.The syntax of the method execution is:methodname -t task options -- taskstringIn this syntax: task can be:LJMJCFGSLaunch a jobManage a previously launched jobCheck availability of a file – OPENS dependencyGet the status of an external job options is the list of job properties. taskstring is the string to execute from the job definition.6Implementing IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler V 8.2 Extended Agent for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
These are the options (related to the job’s properties) that should be passed tothe access method: Workstation/Host/MasterWorkstation’s node definitionWorkstation’s port definitionThe current production run numberThe job’s run numberThe job’s schedule nameThe date of the schedule (in two formats)The user ID (logon) for the jobThe path to the output (stdlist) file for the jobThe job IDThe job numberThe string from the SCRIPTNAME or DOCOMMAND entry in the jobdefinitionExample 1-1 shows a method invocation in which the job TEST is executed on theextended agent workstation ITSO6, using the user ID itso and method namewgetmethod.Example 1-1 Example method invocationwgetmethod -t LJ-c ITSO6,ITSO7,ITSO7-n ITSO6-p 31111 -r 143,143 -s MACDSH91-d 20000410,955381986 -l itso-o /opt/maestro/stdlist/2000.04.10/O13676.1053-j TEST,13676 -- /home/itso//batchjobs/killerTWS currently provides these extended agents: UNIX Remote ShellUNIX LocalMVS (JES,OPC, CA7)SAP R/3 BatchPeopleSoftOracle ApplicationsUNIX Remote Shell and UNIX Local extended agents come with the TWS basepackage.
