Currently, IBM i runs Workload Automation 5.1.1. These pages provide information for that version.

Installation Processes

There are six different processes for installing Workload Automation on an IBM i system:

Your installation environment, currently installed Workload Automation 5 for IBM i release (if any), and Workload Automation 5 for IBM i release to be installed determine the process to use.

There are two additional procedures related to installation:

UCHGRLS (Change Release Tag) Program for changing Workload Automation for IBM i command names in the IBM i QSYS library.
Product Removal procedures that are required or optional, depending on the installation process.

Note

If the QCCSID system value of IBM i is configured to a non-default CCSID, you may need to perform a customization step following the product install. For information on how to perform this step, including additional information to help you determine if and why you may need to perform the step, see National Language Customization.

Installs requiring the customization may see errors referring to UNVTMPL and/or UNVCONF files in the UBROKER job log.
