Work Scopes

A work scope is the specification of an entity of work. RMF PM supports the following work scopes:
  • Job (representing the work performed in an address space)
  • WLM workload
  • WLM service class
  • WLM service class period
  • WLM report class
Metrics with values for work scope instances are available in two ways:
  • As a single-valued Metric, where the corresponding work scope name has been specified
  • As a multi-valued Metrics (ordered lists), where each list element belongs to one instance of a work scope

Work scopes are not modeled as resources showing up in a PM configuration view, because frequently changing instances of jobs would flood the system with configuration updates.
