Step 6: Customize WLM policies for the Advisor and Agents (optional)

It is important that the Advisor and Agents receive an adequate amount of system resources to properly balance workloads. Part of this task involves making the Advisor and Agent run non-swappable. In addition, WLM can control the amount of system resources allocated to the Advisor and Agents.

Guideline: The Advisor and Agents should be assigned to the WLM SYSSTC service class to receive the appropriate dispatching priority. For more information about categorizing work into service classes, see z/OS MVS Planning: Workload Management.
