Command line (CLI) environment setup

To set up the command line output (conman, composer) there are 3 variables that can be adjusted to obtain the optimum output format.

MAESTROLINES: Specifies the number of lines per screen. At the end of each screen page, conman prompts to continue. If MAESTROLINES (or LINES) is set to zero or a negative number, conman does not pause at the end of a page. 

MAESTROCOLUMNS: Specifies the number of characters per line. The following options are available: Less than 120 (only some columns will be displayed). Equal to or more than 120 (all columns will be displayed). The maximum value is 1024. If either MAESTROLINES or MAESTROCOLUMNS is not set, the standard shell variables, LINES and COLUMNS, are used. 

MAESTRO_OUTPUT_STYLE: Specifies how object names are displayed. If set to LONG, full names are displayed. If not set, or set to any value other than LONG, long names are truncated to eight characters followed by a plus sign (+). 

Default unix output:

To have the variables set by default, add the following lines to your user profile file (.profile, .bash_profile etc): 

       
<TWS_home>/tws_env.sh
export MAESTRO_OUTPUT_STYLE=LONG
export MAESTROLINES=0
export MAESTROCOLUMS=512

FTA Stop & Start commands & script

To Start & Stop a TWS FTA use the below commands: 

1. Start a TWS FTA:

       
./<TWS_home>/StartUp
./<TWS_home>/bin/conman "start & link @;noask"

2. Stop a TWS FTA:

       
./<TWS_home>/bin/conman "shutdown;wait"

And a small script to start / stop TWS FTA:

       
#!/bin/sh
#
# Start/Stop the Tivoli Workload Scheduler FTA
#

case "$1" in

   start)
        /<TWS_home>/StartUp
        /<TWS_home>/bin/conman "start & link @;noask"
        ;;
   stop)
        /<TWS_home>/bin/conman "shutdown;wait"
        ;;
   *)
      echo "Unknown flag passed to $0."
      echo "Usage: $0 {start, stop}"

esac
exit 0

Note: The above script is the simplest possible, I like simple things, even we have a error as it will try to start / stop all the agents but it does not have rights, which is normal.
