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

    BMC Software ----- SPECIFY BATCH SERVICE OBJECTIVE ------------------------
    COMMAND ===> _
    Workload    - ALLBAT
    Description - All Batch Address Spaces
     Turnaround time of ===> 20     minutes
                    for ===> 50     percent of all jobs
                 and    ===> 45     minutes
                    for ===> 80     percent of all jobs
                Between ===> 08:00  (Begin time hh:mm)
                    and ===> 17:00  (End time hh:mm)
    JES queue time      ===> N      (Y/N, Include queue time in turnaround time)
    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 Turnaround time fields, type the required turnaround times and the percentage of all jobs that are to complete within those specified time periods. Turnaround time is expressed in terms of minutes, from 0 to 9999.

  3. 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 the WOBJS views.

    Warning

    Important

    If you specified INACTV in the Initial status field on the workload characterization panel, be sure 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 WKLD service objectives from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., go to the WKLIST view and type the S line command on the line containing WKLD1. In the workload characterization panel, type ACTIVE, and make sure you do it 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, WTA, or any other workload-related views.

  4. To include JES input queue time in the measure of overall turnaround time (rather than just execution time), type Y in the JES queue time field.
  5. When finished, perform one of the following tasks:
    • Type END to return to WKLIST and save the objectives automatically.
    • Type CANCEL to exit the panel without saving the objectives.
