IBM Workload Automation & Workload Scheduler

Hi, My TWS agent 9.5FP7 install continues to hang at the end of installation where it tries to do "StartUp" on Rhel 8 64bit Linux host. see excerpt below:

 echo 'Tue Jun 11 14:20:05 EDT 2024 startAction begin'
+ ACTION_TOOL_RET_STDOUT=
+ export ACTION_TOOL_RET_STDOUT
+ ACTION_TOOL_RET_COD=0
+ PATH=/opt/tools/tws/TWS:/opt/tools/tws/TWS/bin:/root/.local/bin:/root/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
+ export PATH
+ '[' customer '!=' MDM -a customer '!=' DDM -a customer '!=' BKM -a customer '!=' BDM -a customer '!=' WAAS ']'
+ '[' true = true ']'
++ /opt/tools/tws/TWS/StartUp -noappsrv

doing ps -ef shows it is hung while trying to do "mecho"  

ps -ef |grep tws
itws      308433       1  0 14:20 pts/1    00:00:00 /opt/tools/tws/TWS/bin/mecho 226 12001

i thought perhaps the "noexec" parameter was causing the issue, however i removed that and re-mounted still experience the same.

also confirmed umask=0022, SELINUX=disabled ,  also i have the MDM and domain mgr in /etc/hosts file I can ping both to and from MDM and domain mgr.
any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.

thank you

Joel

Joel, the StartUp command starts netman, the IBM Workload Scheduler network management process.  First thing to check is if the user has start access to the workstation.

You can run the StartUp command by itself.  It is in <IWS Home>/TWS.  See what it does there.  You will have to set the environment by running '. ./twa_env.sh' in the directory above, then go in to TWS and run StartUp.
