Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.
Starting from release 6.3.3, Cisco Workload Automation (CWA) is rebranded to Tidal Workload Automation (TWA). TWA is an automation platform for cross-application and cross-platform operational workloads, batch job scheduling, and data integration throughput. TWA can easily configure and run scheduled workloads and event-based business processes. It can integrate the commercial and custom applications that the business processes use. TWA has the capability to determine which tasks to run, as well as where and when to run them, without learning new scripting languages, customizing existing tools, or any human intervention. Additionally, TWA provides a single view and point of control over all business processes and the jobs they comprise.
