Meet z/OS WLM

Project and Program: MVS, MVS Performance

Tags: Proceedings, SHARE Providence 2017, 2017

On IBM z machines running z/OS, several workloads with competing priorities and resource requirements could run simultaneously. z/OS Workload Manager allows to set importance and goal (velocity, response time) in business terms. WLM then manages the resource allocation to workloads to achieve these goals.
 
In this  session, we will look indepth inside WLM on how its manages SLA. We wil discuss various WLM functions/algorithms, metrics it uses to evaluate work etc. Finally we will go through SMF WLM reports - we will discuss what reports to be used, where to look for interesting data and how to interpret data from SLA perspective.-Hemanth Rama-BMC SOFTWARE INC
