Introduction

Network Configuration

Transporter

The CWA 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 CWA Transporter is its ability to automate the copying of job data, although it can copy 
other data types as well.

The Transporter is fully documented, including installation, in the

Network Configuration

Overview of Network Configuration

CWA can be configured on a network in many different ways. You can connect any number of licensed masters using 
any number of licensed agents, each located anywhere on your network.

Fault Tolerance Configuration

Fault tolerance can be added to a CWA network to provide an extra degree of scheduling reliability. In a fault tolerant 
environment, each primary master is connected to a dedicated backup master and a fault monitor machine.

In this setup, the primary master periodically shares data with the backup master during normal operation. Only one 
master (normally the primary master) has control of scheduling at any time. If the primary master has a network, power, 
or software failure, control is transferred to the backup master.

System Requirements

Note: Contact support or your account manager for the latest information on the system requirements for CWA.

There are different requirements for the Windows and Unix platforms. Both platforms use the Client Manager. 

See the 

for the minimum system requirements for installing and 

running CWA. The specified quantities of CPU, memory and disk space must be available for exclusive use by CWA. Use 
additional RAM and disk space as necessary for your particular environment.
