Advantages of the new Installation infrastructure Improved installation and recovery procedure: TWS/DWC prerequisite are separate offerings with their own life cycle. Automatic prerequisite discovery: One UI manage deployment of all IBM components, included DB2. Install/ Remove/ Upgrade a single component 16 TWS / DWC 9.1 FP1
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 17 TWS / DWC 9.1 FP1
Direct Query 18 TWS / DWC 9.1 FP1
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 19 TWS / DWC 9.1 FP1
Direct Query Introduction 20 TWS / DWC 9.1 FP1
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 TWS / DWC 9.1 FP1
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; 22 TWS / DWC 9.1 FP1
