- Planning and Installation
  - Planning your IBM® Workload Scheduler environment
    IBM® Workload Scheduler orchestrates unattended, scheduled, and event-driven tasks for business and IT processes across on-premises and cloud environments organized in a network. A network consists of a set of linked workstations on which you perform job scheduling and processing to automate and manage your workflows. An IBM Workload Scheduler network is composed of a master domain manager, one or more Dynamic Workload Console servers, dynamic domain managers, and dynamic agents. You might also have fault-tolerant agents, extended agents, standard agents connected to the master domain manager or to domain managers.

    FIPS is a U.S. government security standard that defines security requirements for cryptographic modules used to protect sensitive information. FIPS 140-3 is the latest version of the U.S. and Canadian government security standard that defines security requirements for cryptographic modules in IT and telecommunications products. Its purpose is to ensure that products handling sensitive data via cryptography are secure and reliable. Federal agencies must use FIPS 140-3 validated modules. It is also widely adopted by defence contractors and financial institutions.

About this task

This is an optional step you might want to perform before you upgrade the Dynamic Workload Console and the master components.

Installing WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base

About this task

To install WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base, perform the following steps:

Procedure

Find out which version of WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base is required, by running the Detailed System Requirements report and browsing to the Prerequisites tab.
Download WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base from Recommended updates for WebSphere Application Server Liberty.
Install WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base by extracting the archive file to a directory of your choice.
On Windows operating systems
```
java -jar <liberty_download_dir>\wlp-base-all-<version>.jar --acceptLicense <install_dir>
```
On UNIX operating systems
```
./java -jar <liberty_download_dir>/wlp-base-all-<version>.jar --acceptLicense <install_dir>
```
where:

<liberty_download_dir>

The directory where you downloaded WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base.

<version>

The number of the version.

<install_dir>

The directory where you want to install WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base.
Note: Note that the value of the <install_dir> parameter must match the value to be defined for the wlpdir parameter when installing the master domain manager and its backup, dynamic domain manager and its backup, and the Dynamic Workload Console.
Ensure the IBM® Workload Scheduler administrative user has the rights to run WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base and full access to the installation directory.
