A workload specification identifies the CICS® systems or CICS system
groups in a CICSplex that are to be treated as routing regions, and
the default target regions. You can also use a workload specification
to identify a default affinity relationship and lifetime. You can
create a basic workload specification and then add the attributes
for the default transaction group. Alternatively, you can create a
workload specification that is based on the attributes of an existing
specification.
Procedure
- Choose from one of the following options:
- To create a workload specification that is based on the attributes
of an existing specification, right-click on the specification you
want to copy in the Workload Specification view
and click New from.
- To create a basic workload specification, right-click anywhere
in the Workload Specification view, and click New.
The New Workload Specification wizard
opens. If you clicked New from, then the values
in the fields are the attribute values for the specification you are
copying. If you clicked New, then the values
in the fields are the default values.
- Complete the fields in the wizard and click OK.
Results
The workload specification is created and the Workload
Specification Editor opens. The specification contains
only the default rule.
What to do next
You can edit the attributes of the default rule, or add routers
and more routing rules (workload definitions) to the specification.
