Elements of a workload definition
A dialog box is used to create or modify IMS workload definitions.
You fill in fields in the dialog box with values that describe each workload.
The elements of a workload definition are summarized in the following table and are described in more detail in Assign-the-new-workload-definition-settings:
Element | Description |
|---|---|
Workload and composite names | A workload name and composite name are assigned to each workload. All workloads that share the same composite name are grouped into 'applications.' If your site has the MainView VistaPoint product installed, you can use a shared composite name to combine the performance of workloads running in IMS, CICS, DB2, and the IBM operating system into a common application so that you can view the performance of workloads sharing common tasks. |
Service-level objectives | A service-level objective is defined for each workload. The objective specifies the acceptable performance for a workload. The objective is met if a specified percentage of a workload’s transactions completes within a specified elapsed time. |
Monitoring time range | Start and end time fields are used to specify a monitoring time period for each workload. |
Target ID and system ID | If you want to limit a workload to specific IMS subsystem or IBM operating systems, you can include an IMS target ID, an operating system ID, or both. |
Workload resource fields | Workloads can be qualified by transaction ID, class, program name, PSB name, region job name, region ID, LTERM name, IMS user ID, and transaction type. |
