Create User-Group Workload Definitions

User-group workload definitions contain groups of users who have something in common. For example, users might belong to the same department, be on the same project, or have similar jobs. User-group workload definitions facilitate the reporting and graphing of computer resources used by the user group.

The following are examples of Parameter Editor commands to define new user-group workload definitions:

1. To start the Parameter Editor, enter:

   $ ADVISE EDIT
   

2. To add the SECRETARIES workload definition with users Johnson, Whelms, and Hears, enter:

   PSDC-EDIT> ADD/WORKLOAD SECRETARIES-
   _PSDC-EDIT> /USERNAMES=(JOHNSON,WHELMS,HEARS)
   

3. To add the WRITERS workload definition with all users in UIC group 100, enter:

   PSDC-EDIT> ADD/WORKLOAD WRITERS /UIC=[100,*]
