CICSPlex SM workload management

CICSPlex® SM workload management directs work requests to a target region that is selected using one of the following:

The queue algorithm
CICSPlex SM routes work requests initiated in the requesting region to the most suitable target region within the designated set of target regions.
The goal algorithm
CICSPlex SM routes work requests to the target region that is best able to meet the goals that have been predefined using MVS™ workload manager.

The CICSPlex SM dynamic routing program EYU9XLOP is invoked to route work requests to the selected target region. EYU9XLOP supports both workload balancing and workload separation. You define to CICSPlex SM which requesting, routing, and target regions in the CICSplex or BTS-plex can participate in dynamic routing, and any affinities that govern the target regions to which particular work requests must be routed. The output from the Start of changeCICS Interdependency AnalyzerEnd of change can be used directly by CICSPlex SM.

There are no special requirements for using CICSPlex SM workload management, which supports both the distributed routing and dynamic routing models of CICS®. Workload management of the following types of requests is supported:

CICSPlex SM workload management offers the user the following:
