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

New Installation (Default)

The default process for a new installation of Workload Automation for IBM i installs to the following libraries:

  • Product library (UNVPRD511)
  • Temporary library (UNVTMP511)
  • Spool file library (UNVSPL511)
  • Command reference library (UNVCMDREF)

V5R4 systems

Before installing Workload Automation for IBM i, either download and apply PTF SI27629 or verify that it is applied to the system.

Step 1

Execute the following command to install Workload Automation to the default libraries:

RSTLICPGM LICPGM(0UNV511) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/UNV511)


When installing Workload Automation on a version of IBMi that is newer than the version identified in the distribution file name (for example, installing the 5.4-targeted file on an IBMi version greater than 5.4 or the 7.6-targeted file on an IBMi 7.6 or higher system), add the FRCOBJCVN parameter to force object conversion to the newer platform.

RSTLICPGM LICPGM(0UNV511) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/UNV511) FRCOBJCVN(*YES *ALL)

Step 2

Verify that the installation was correct by executing the following command:
 

CHKPRDOPT 0UNV511

The following message should display: No errors detected by CHKPRDOPT.

Step 3

Optionally, rename the UNVUBR511 subsystem to UBROKER for consistent operation across future installations.

Step 4

Optionally, use the UCHGRLS (Change Release Tag) Program to change the names of the Workload Automation for IBM i commands in the IBM i QSYS library.
