Configuration options for workload management

You can configure the options that control the workload management system.

The workload management configuration options are set in the DSODBConfig.cfg configuration file. This configuration file is stored in the Server/DSODB directory in the installation directory.

As a minimum, you must set WLMON=1 if you want to use the workload monitoring system. The default values for the other options are sufficient to enable the use of the workload management system in most environments.

Table 1. Options that control the workload management system
Option Values Purpose
WLMON 0 or 1 Controls if the workload management system is enabled. By default, the workload management system is enabled.

Set WLMON=0 if you do not want to use the workload management system.

Set WLMON=1 if you want to use the workload management system.

WLM_CONTINUE_ON_COMMS_ERROR 0 or 1 Controls whether jobs are run if communication with the workload management system is not available.

Set WLM_CONTINUE_ON_COMMS_ERROR=0 if you do not want jobs to run.

Set WLM_CONTINUE_ON_COMMS_ERROR=1 if you want jobs to run. The default value is 1. Setting this value is equivalent to running with workload management set to disabled.

WLM_CONTINUE_ON_QUEUE_ERROR 0 or 1 Controls whether jobs are run if the specified queue name does not exist.

Set WLM_CONTINUE_ON_QUEUE_ERROR=0 if you do not want jobs to run.

Set WLM_CONTINUE_ON_QUEUE_ERROR=1 if you want jobs to run. The default value is 1. The default queue for the project is used if it is specified and it exists, otherwise the workload management default queue is used.

WLM_QUEUE_WAIT_TIMEOUT integer Specifies the number of seconds a job remains in the queue before it is stopped and removed from the queue. Set WLM_QUEUE_WAIT_TIMEOUT=0 if you want jobs to remain in the queue indefinitely.
