Satisfying Requests for Enhancements (RFEs) in version 9.5 Fix Pack 4
IBM Workload Scheduler satisfies Requests for Enhancements (RFEs).
Requests for Enhancements (RFEs) give customers the opportunity to collaborate directly with the product development team and other users. The team prioritizes and develops new product features based on proposals made by customers.
- Support for credentials
- You can now specify the user that runs a job on the IBM i workstation. Credentials can be specified from the graphical user interface or specifying them in the job definition. For more info, see IBM i jobs.
- Support for userid in IBM i jobs
-
AllowRoot (AllowQsecofr) feature for IBM i agents has been implemented. For more information, see Configuring properties of the native job launcher [NativeJobLauncher].
- Unexpected error message after wappman -export is now fixed
- The wappman export command works as expected and the WAT files are correctly exported.
- Ensuring identity and access management with credential vaults
- Credential vaults offer a secure mechanism to store user
names and passwords. You can use them to submit IBM® Workload Scheduler jobs
without specifying any passwords, which are retrieved from the credential
vault.
You can now integrate IBM® Workload Scheduler with credential vaults by simply deploying a library file and customizing a properties file.
- Certificate validation on agents
- Dynamic and z-centric agents can now ensure the certificate they receive is valid and has been issued by a recognized CA. For more information, see Customizing the SSL connection between the agents and the Z controller when using your certificates
- White labelling
- IBM Workload Scheduler provides the capability to customize user interface labels. You can now personalize the UI labels for the following UIs: Self-Service Catalog and Self-Service Dashboards mobile applications.
