Given an existing TWS environment and installed components, locate the additional files outside of TWA user home so that the directories can be managed.
Given an existing TWS environment and configured connection to database server or client, troubleshoot connections to the database so that there is constant communication between TWA environment and database.
Given an existing TWS environment and a configured connection between all components, to allow for proper networking and communications between Master, FTA’s, agents, DWC, WebSphere and DB2 so that port issues can be identified.
Given an existing TWS environment and a configured connection between master domain manager and agents troubleshoot linking issues so that there is constant communication between master and agents.
Given an existing TWS environment and a configured connection between master domain manager and agents, recover a workstation so that there is minimal downtime and lessened impact of outage.
Given a TWS instance, check the status and health of a workstation so that the health of a workstation is verified.
Given a TWS instance, manage the message files using the evtsize command so the modified message files are verified.
Given the appropriate access to the TWS instance troubleshoot a failed or abended job so that issues are identified.
