CICSPlex SM sysplex optimized workload management

CICSPlex® SM sysplex optimized workload management maximizes CICS® workload throughput in a Parallel Sysplex® environment. It is most effective for distributed workloads, for which the routing and target regions are managed by different CMASs.

Sysplex optimized workload routing is enabled at the z/OS® coupling facility level by a region status (RS) server. CICS posts the status of each target region to the RS server, where it is placed in a coupling facility data table. Each routing region has access to near real-time transaction load and region health information for all target regions in the sysplex, enabling more efficient WLM routing decisions to be made. Additional CICSPlex SM WUI views are provided so that you can monitor the distribution of dynamic workloads through your sysplex. Sysplex optimized workload management is best suited to workloads that are contained in a single sysplex.
