Creating a workload specification

A WLM specification identifies a workload and one or more CICS systems acting as target regions. The specification also defines the attributes of the default transaction group. You can use the WUI WLM specifications view to create a workload specification.

To create a workload specification and add it to the data repository:

• From the WUI main menu, click Administration > Workload manager administration > Specifications to open the WLM specifications tabular view.

  This view displays a list of existing workload specifications. It has action buttons that allow you to create, update, and remove workload specifications, and to associate CICS systems and CICS system groups with a workload specification.

• Click the Create... button. To use some of the information from an existing definition in the creation of your new definition, select an existing definition by selecting an adjacent check box in the Record column.
• Click the Create... button.
• Complete the fields and click the Yes button to create the new specification. Otherwise, click No to abandon the process.

The WLM specification view is redisplayed and includes an entry for the new definition.
