Advantages of the new Installation infrastructure
 Simplified electronic images installation: TWS, DWC and all its prerequisites can be
installed using Passport Advantage
 Simplified maintenance: All iFix and fix packs can be installed directly from Fix
Central.
 Improved serviceability: HTML logging integrated into the tool
 Improved user interface: better navigation,
real time validation, help online

Direct Query – Introduction
 A new monitoring entry, Direct Query, has been added into
DWC portfolio;
 Direct Query can be used by TWSWEBUIAdministrator and
TWSWEBUIOperator
 Direct Query provides a single entry point for different DWC
monitoring tasks:
– Job
– Job Stream
– Workstation

Direct Query – Introduction
20
TWS / DWC 9.1 FP1
© 2014 IBM Corporation
Direct Query – Approach
 Zero-click plan queries. The page can launch automatically on user login: user can immediately run a
query with no intermediate steps;
 Plain text format. Easily copy & paste queries, send them by email, print, etc. It's very accessible too;
 GUI / CLI hybrid approach. The system keeps the query and UI synchronized in real time: no need to
remember conman's syntax or read the documentation!
 Leverage existing skills. Direct Query use a conman-like syntax, conman users will be able to type
and run queries immediately.
DWC users will be able to keep using a familiar UI to specify the query filter: just using the UI a correct
query is automatically generated.
After a while, users will learn the query syntax without even noticing;
21

Direct Query – Approach
 Recent Queries history. A collection of last queries is stored into DQ Query dropdown list; This value
is configurable from TDWCSettings.xml file;
 Direct Query ported into Monitoring Pages. When a query is launched by the Direct Query portlet (or
an external launcher, such as a bookmarked query), Monitoring pages are enhanced with Direct Query
CLI field;

Quick Submit: Job
 There are two options for the user to submit the Job.
– The user can click on “submit” button, without associating it to a JS (May or may not specify an
alias)
• In this case the Job is submitted to JOBS JS present in the WS where the Job is created.
• If Alias is not specified an auto-generated alias is used.
– The user can click on the search button and select a JS. The Job Stream textbox and workstation
textbox in the popup will be populated. Then the user can click on submit button. (May or may not
specify an alias)
• In this case the JOB is associated with the searched JS and submitted to it.
• If Alias is not specified an auto-generated alias is used
