Characterizing workloads

After you have created a workload, you need to specify the kinds of address spaces that should make up the workload.

This section tells you how to perform this task for different types of workloads.

Note

Service class and WLM workload types are characterized automatically when they are created and cannot be characterized in the MainView for z/OS product.

The following task will set up a batch workload called ABCBAT that represents all jobs starting with ABC.

To characterize workloads

  1. Go to the WKLIST view.
  2. On the COMMAND line, type ADD to display an Add Workload panel.

  3. Fill in the fields with appropriate values, as shown in the following figure.

     BMC Software ----------------- ADD WORKLOAD -------------------------------
     COMMAND ===>
     Enter Workload Name, Type and description.
     Name           ===> ABCBAT
     Type           ===> BAT     (ASCH, BAT, OMVS, STC, TSO, COMP)
     Description    ===> Batch jobs for ABC department
    Press END when all entries are complete.
    Enter CANCEL to cancel request.
  4. Press END to display the Characterize Batch Workload panel.

  5. Fill in the fields with appropriate values, as shown in the following figure.

     BMC Software ----------- CHARACTERIZE BATCH WORKLOAD ---------------------
     COMMAND ===>
     Enter O to specify workload service objectives
     Workload    - ABCBATCH
     Description - Batch jobs for ABC department
     Initial status ===> ACTIVE  (Initial collection status, Active/Inactv)
     Specify the following selection criteria:
       Jobname         ===> ABC*
       Job class       ===>
       Service class   ===> BATNORM
       Programmer name ===> *
       Accounting Information                                                       
         Data    ===>                                                               
         Field # ===>     Offset ===>                                               
         I/E     ===>     (Include/Exclude Address space if account data matches)   
    Enter END when all entries are complete.                                       
    Enter CANCEL to cancel workload characterization.

    As you can see by the example shown in the above figure, batch workloads are assigned a service class of BATNORM.
