Results
Workload Management (WLM) can start additional servant regions to meet performance goals,
based on the importance of its work compared to other work in the system, the availability of system
resources that are needed to satisfy those objectives, and a determination by WLM of whether
starting more address spaces might help achieve the objectives. It is also important to make the
goals reasonable.
