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.
