Example of defining a class

The following example shows three CLASSADD statements in a parmlib member named ASCHPM1A. Each of the three classes runs different types of TPs. The class named FAST is for TPs with a response time goal of under .01 seconds, while the class named TEST is for testing new TPs before putting them on the production system. MULTI is a special class for a single, continuously running multi-trans TP.

Figure 1. ASCHPM1A

  CLASSADD
    CLASSNAME(FAST)
    MAX(10)
    MIN(2)
    RESPGOAL(.01)
    MSGLIMIT(200)

  CLASSADD
    CLASSNAME(TEST)
    MAX(5)
    MIN(1)
    RESPGOAL(.5)
    MSGLIMIT(300)

  CLASSADD
    CLASSNAME(MULTI)
    MAX(1)
    MIN(1)
    RESPGOAL(.1)
    /* MSGLIMIT will default to 500 */

To activate the APPC/MVS transaction scheduler and these three classes, issue the START command as follows:

  START ASCH,SUB=MSTR,ASCH=1A

If the APPC/MVS transaction scheduler was previously activated, issue the SET command to add the three classes, as follows:

  SET ASCH=1A

To view the status of all classes, issue the DISPLAY ASCH command as follows:

  DISPLAY ASCH,ALL
