Adding or editing a workload
A workload groups one or more service classes that you to monitor as a
unit; with it, you can monitor related service classes, highlighting the worst-performing
class within the group. Defining one or more workloads is usually the first
step in implementing the SLA support within OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS.
Note:
OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS does
not support workload balancing; the workload objects defined using the CICS
SLA view are for reporting purposes only.
To define a new workload:
- Within the Workloads window, press the Create button.
The Create new Workload pop-up window opens:
Figure 7. The Create new Workload Editor window for creating a new workload
- Within the workload editor, define a name for your new workload, and give
it a description. The name you supply is converted to uppercase.
- To save your new workload, press the OK button.
A default workload named DFLTWORK is provided with OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS.
You can also change the description of an existing workload:
- Within the Workloads window, select the workload
you want to edit, and press the Edit button.
The Edit Workload pop-up window reopens, showing the name of
the selected workload and its current description:

- Using standard Windows editing operations (left, right, Delete, Insert,
Home, End, block delete, block replace), edit the Description as needed.
- Press the OK button.
After you have defined the appropriate workload, your next step is to create
its service classes; see Adding or editing a service class.
