Migrating to workload management

Workload management offers two operating modes: compatibility and goal. Compatibility mode is your present method of performance management, and goal mode is the workload management method.

To facilitate migration, you can establish your service definition while running in compatibility mode. Then, after you are comfortable with your service definition and have completed the steps for migrating to workload management, you can switch to goal mode.
