Installation Overview
CWA Components
Remote Master
A Remote Master is simply an additional CWA Master that is installed in a different environment. The Remote Master
allows a connection to another CWA Master for sharing global CWA variables between CWA environments. Variables
definitions must have “Publish value to remote masters” selected in the CWA environment where they reside prior to
being available through a remote master connection.

Transporter
The Cisco Workload Automation Transporter application transports scheduling objects from one CWA instance (source)
to another CWA instance (destination). For example, you can use the Transporter to promote jobs from a test instance
to a production instance. The primary strength of Cisco Workload Automation Transporter is its ability to automate the
copying of job data, although it can copy other data types as well.

Beginning with CWA 6.3, the Transporter can also export jobs as XML files and import the jobs back from XML files.
All features of the Transporter are fully documented, including installation, in the Cisco Workload Automation Transporter
