Completing the workload definition


You are in browse mode when you initially display the CWKLDDEF view. This means you can look at a listing of IBM CICS workload definitions but you cannot alter them.

To place an edit lock on the common BBPARM workload member containing the current workload definitions, type EDIT on the COMMAND line and press Enter. You can now enter primary or line commands to add, delete, change, or update workload definitions.

The following table shows both the line and the primary commands available after an edit lock is obtained on workload definitions.

Command

Description

Primary Commands

ADD

Creates a new workload definition

CANcel

Cancels any changes made to the definition during an edit session by refreshing the workload definition with the current version in storage

SAVE

Saves any changes made to the workload definition and maintains the current edit session

Line Commands

ADD

Creates a new workload definition by using the selected definition as a template

CHAnge

Updates an existing workload definition

DELete

Deletes a workload definition

INStall

Updates the runtime version of the workload definition in the CAS to start transaction monitoring

UNDelete

Cancels the DELete command and retains the workload definition if issued before the SAVE command


Warning

Note

All these above commands affect only the local BBI-SS PAS that owns the context target, even if you share the definitions with another BBI-SS PAS.  The definitions will not affect the other BBI-SS PAS until that BBI-SS PAS is recycled.

Enter the ADD primary or line command to display the Workload Definition dialog box as shown in Example of the BMC AMI Ops for CICS Workload Definition dialog. where you can define a new workload.

Use the ADD line command instead if you prefer to use an existing workload definition as a model to create a new definition. Type ADD in the line command field next to the workload definition that you want to use as your model and press Enter.
