Creating workload definitions
Display the WKLIST view, as shown in the following figure.

(For more information about managing these workloads, see Maintaining-workload-definitions.)
For a description of each field in the WKLIST view, place the cursor on the field and press PF1 (Help).
On the command line, type ADD and press Enter.The Add Workload panel is displayed, as shown in the following figure.
BMC Software ------------------ ADD WORKLOAD ---------------------------------
COMMAND ===> _ SCROLL ===> CSR
Enter Workload Name, Type and Description.
Name ===>
Type ===> (ASCH, BAT, OMVS, STC, TSO, COMP)
Description ===>
Press END when all entries are complete.
Enter CANCEL to cancel request.In the Name field, type a name for the workload. The name must not exceed eight characters. All user-defined workload names must be unique. It is possible, however, for workloads whose names are defined outside of BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS (service class or WLM workloads) to have names that are not unique. That is, while a WKL workload and a TSO workload can both be named PROD01, a TSO and a batch workload cannot share that name.
- In the Type field, type one of these workload names:
- ASCH—for an APPC workload
- BAT—for a batch workload
- OMVS—for an OpenEdition MVS workload
- STC—for a Started Task workload
- TSO—for a TSO workload
- COMP—for a composite workload
- In the Description field, type a description not exceeding 40 characters.
- Type END on the command line to complete the workload definition. (If you want to cancel the definition instead, use the CANCEL command.) When you enter the END command, a workload characterization panel is displayed.
- On the workload characterization panel, specify the characteristics that an address space must possess to be included in the new workload. A different workload characterization panel exists for each type of workload, as discussed in the next section, Characterizing-workloads.
To complete your workload definition, refer to the appropriate page in the following table and follow the instructions there.

- To see what address spaces are in a workload after you have created it, hyperlink on the workload name in WKLIST, which takes you to WOVER, where you hyperlink again on the workload name.
