WLM function information

The function information section represents data that is unique for a WLM subcomponent that is using the WLM sysplex manager services. The example shows the information displayed for the Sysplex Communication Management subcomponent, the same information is also displayed for:
  • Administrative Policy Management
  • Performance Data Management
  • Device Clustering Management
  • Server Environment Management
  • Workload Balancing Management
  • Scheduling Environment Management

Sysplex Communications Management Status
Header displayed for the Sysplex Communications Management function in WLM.
Status
In the above example the parameter value for the status item is Open. Status can be any of the following:
  • CLOSED

    Indicates that the function is not operational.

  • OPEN

    Indicates that the function has initialized and is fully operational.

  • QUIESCING

    Indicates that the function is OPEN, however the function has been notified to quiesce further multisystem activities.

  • QUIESCED

    Indicates that the function is not operational, i.e. CLOSED, due to quiescing of multisystem activities.

  • SUSPENDED

    Indicates that the function is not operational, i.e. CLOSED, and that the task associated with the function has been placed into a wait because the function has attempted an OPEN.

Time that this function had state set
This value represents the time that this function had its state set. The state that is set is represented by the Status field that precedes this line. The time is displayed as:
