  • 1.  What should I do when changing workstations on production day?

    Posted Tue September 12, 2017 02:46 PM

    Hi Everyone,


    My workstation A is going to shut-down due to maintenance, so the customer and I have decided to switch run batch to workstation B as a work-around.


    I’ve added workstation A’s IP into workstation B, but is there anything else I should do if I’ve changed the workstations on production day?


    Thanks for the help!

    I'm not sure I understand what you have changed 

    If the jobs/job streams are defined to run on WorkstationA, updating WorkstationB to the IP address of WorkstationA will not work as the jobs/job streams will still be looking for the unavailable WorkstationA to execute the jobs

    You would need to change the IP address for WorkstationA to the IP address of WorkstationB so that the jobs would continue to execute on WorkstationA albeit rerouted to the "underlying" WorkstationB system

    Of course that all assumes that the scripts/exec/applications/etc. are also available from WorkstationB

    What version of TWS/IWS are you using?

    Hi

    Hi Riley, 

    I'd suggest to my customer to use pool with dynamic agent. This solution makes it very easy to use a different workstation.
