WKL


If you are not satisfied with the default UIE workload assignment rules (a separate workload for each Service Class period), use the WKL command to do any of the following:

  • Aggregate several Service Classes into a single workload.
  • Give the workload a more meaningful name and, if necessary, a workload category.
  • Change workload granularity.

Syntax

WKL <name>  CAT=<CATEGORY> GRAN=<GRAN> SID=<SID_LIST>

or

WKL <name>  CAT=<CATEGORY> GRAN=<GRAN> SCL=<SCL_LIST> SID=<SID_LIST>

or

WKL <name>  CAT=<CATEGORY> RCL=<RCL_LIST> SID=<SID_LIST>

Syntax explanations

  • The GRAN subparameter can have the values: Coarse, Medium, or Trivial.
    • C (Coarse) – Combine all service classes into one workload.
    • M (Medium) – Break service classes down to one workload for each service class period.
    • T (Trivial) – Split TSO service classes into two workloads by default.
  • SCL_LIST, RCL_LIST, and SID_LIST are comma-separated lists of Service (or Report) class names and System IDs respectively.
  • The absence of SID_LIST means that this command applies to all SIDs.

Rules

  • All subparameters in the WKL command, except workload name and SCL or RCL subparameter, are optional.
  • The WKL command with the same name can be repeated several times.
  • WKL commands with the same name do not need to be grouped together.
  • UIE uses WKL commands in the following manner:

    • While reading the command file, UIE analyzes the syntax of all commands and stores each WKL command with its parameters sequentially in the same order that they are encountered in the command file.
    • During SMF/RMF data processing, UIE analyzes each element of data and tries to match it with the workload definitions in the order that they were specified in the command file. As soon as a particular data element matches a workload definition, WKL NAME is assigned and UIE continues to analyze the next data element.
    Error
    Warning

    You should not aggregate Control and Report Performance Groups into the same workload. The same is true for Service Classes and Report Classes.

Examples

  • If a command file contains the following commands:

    WKL BATCH SCL=BAT
    WKL SYS SCL=SYSSTC
    WKL BATCH SCL=BATNRM,BATLOW
    • SCLs BAT, BATNRM and BATLOW will be aggregated together into workload BATCH.
    • SCL SYSSTC will go into workload SYS.
  • For more examples using UIE commands, see UIE-command-examples.
