CICSPlex® SM workload management directs work requests to a target region that is selected using one of the following:
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 CICS Interdependency Analyzer
can be
used directly by CICSPlex SM.
(For information about the CICS Interdependency Analyzer,
see the CICS Interdependency Analyzer for z/OS User's Guide and Reference.)
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:
