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, click Create .
The Create
new Workload window is displayed.
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, click OK.
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
click Edit.
The Edit Workload window opens again and
shows the name of the selected workload and the current description:

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