  1. Display the Specify TSO Service Objective panel.The following figure shows the panel that is displayed for the ALLTSO workload.

    BMC Software ----- SPECIFY TSO SERVICE OBJECTIVE --------------------------
    COMMAND ===> _
    Workload    - ALLTSO
    Description - All TSO Address Spaces
     Response time of ===> 1     seconds
                  for ===> 90    percent of all transactions
               and    ===> 2     seconds
                  for ===> 99    percent of all transactions
              Between ===> 08:00   (Begin time hh:mm)
                  and ===> 17:00   (End time hh:mm)
    Enter END when all entries are complete.
    Enter DELETE to delete service objectives.
    Enter CANCEL to cancel service objective specification.
    Warning

    Important

    To reset all current objectives to 0, type DELETE on the command line.

  2. In the Response time of field, type the acceptable response time, in seconds, for a percentage of all transactions completed. The response time can contain up to four characters, including a decimal point, and can be expressed in terms of whole seconds or fractions of seconds. Valid examples include1

    .08

    5.05

    3000

  3. In the for field immediately following the Response time of field, specify a percent of the total transactions to be completed within the previously entered time period.

  4. Enter an additional response time and percentage of total transactions in the next two fields.

    Warning

    Important

    We recommend that you specify the first response time as the minimum-accepted response time for the majority (but not all) of TSO jobs, and then specify the second response time as a longer time period covering a greater percentage of jobs, as shown in Specify TSO Service Objective panel.

  5. In the Between and and fields, type the time period for which the objectives are to be monitored, using the format hh:mm, where hh is a value from 00 to 23. The default is from 00:00 to 00:00, which means that the workload’s service objectives are not monitored and do not appear on either the WOBJ or WOBJS views.

    Warning

    Important

    If you specified INACTV in the Initial status field on the workload characterization panel, be sure to use the R command to activate data collection before BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS begins monitoring the workload’s service objectives.

    For example, if you want OpsM for z/OS to monitor the WKLD1 service objectives from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., use the R line command for WKLD1 before 8:00 A.M. If you do not, OpsM for z/OS will not collect data for WKLD1 and thus will not have any information for WOBJ, WRT, or any other workload-related views.

  6. When finished, perform one of the following tasks:
    • Type END to return to WKLIST and save the service objectives automatically.
    • Type CANCEL to exit the panel without saving the objectives.
