Disabling workload balancing for a server group

The NOTMANAGED parameter disables workload balancing for the server group defined.

NOTMANAGED=<string>
Description
Specify one or more server groups for which the Workload Manager does not balance requests. For more than one server group, separate each server group with a semicolon. If you disable workload balancing for a server group, the Workload Manager connects only to the server specified in the call. The Workload Manager does not re-send failed requests to a server that has workload balancing disabled.
To specify that all load balancing is enabled for all server groups, do not specify the NOTMANAGED=<string> in your configuration file. If load balancing is enabled for a server group, the first time an instance of the Client daemon makes a request to this server group, it selects a CICS server from the server group at random. For the duration of the life of the Client daemon instance, all subsequent requests to that server group are sent to the same CICS server. All servers not assigned to a server group are also considered for workload management, and a server not included in a server group is thought to be in a server group of its own.

This parameter is in the LOADMANAGER section of the configuration file.

Default value
There is no default value for this parameter.
Configuration Tool
In the Configuration Tool, you can specify that requests to a server group are not balanced by the Workload Manager, by clearing the Manage workload for this server group check box in the Server group definition page. This page can be accessed by selecting an existing server group in the Client daemon section. Reselecting the Manage workload for this server group check box re-enables workload balancing for this server group.
