This example describes how to use the end user interface (EUI)
to balance a CICS BTS-related workload.
This example uses the configuration that has been used for earlier examples. You are working in CICSplex PLXPROD1, which comprises AORs CICSPA01, CICSPA02, and CICSPA03 in CICS® system group CSGTGTS1. These three systems may act as routing and target regions. In addition, it is assumed that the RLS file for the BTS process type is accessible to all CICS system in CICS system group CSGTGTS1, and that all the systems in CICS system group CSGTGTS1 are interconnected.
In the CICSSYS view, tab to the line for the CICSPA01 entry and issue the UPD command. Page forward until you see the Update System - Workload Attributes panel. In the Target routing at startup field, enter YES. In the Routing support active field, enter YES. These changes takes effect when the target region CICSPA01 is next started.
Repeat this step for target regions CICSPA02 and CICSPA03.
Issue the command WLMSPEC from the current view. From the WLMSPEC view, issue the command CRE. Complete the Create WLM Specification panel as shown here, and press Enter.
-------------------- Create WLM Specification for PLXPROD1 -------------------- COMMAND ===> WLM Spec Name ===> WLSCBTS Description ===> Routing CICS BTS activity Affinity Relation ===> Default Affinity Relation (USERID, LUNAME, GLOBAL, BAPPL) Affinity Lifetime ===> Default Affinity Lifetime (SIGNON, LOGON, SYSTEM, PERMANENT, PCONV, DELIM ACTIVITY, PROCESS) Match Key ===> USERID Default Primary search criterion (USERID,LUNAME) Create Affinity ===> Create Auto Affinity (YES, NO, N/A) Target Scope ===> CSGTGTS1 Default CICS System, Group or Generic Event Name ===> RTADEF, STATDEF, or Generic Abend Health ===> 0 Target ABEND Health Factor (0 - 99) Abend Load ===> 0 Target ABEND Load Factor (0 - 99) Algorithm Type ===> QUEUE Algorithm Type (GOAL, QUEUE) Press Enter to create WLM Specification. Type END or CANCEL to cancel without creating.
You must supply :
You can do this either in the SIT of each region in the CICS system group, or using the CICSRGN view.
Repeat for CICSPA02 and CICSPA03.
When the routing and target regions in CSGTGS1 are next started, BTS activities are balanced among the target regions.
