MODIFY/FAMILY

This command changes workload names associated with a family in the parameters file.

Format

MODIFY/FAMILY name

Parameter

name

A workload family definition is a 1 to 20-character alphanumeric string that represents a set of workloads.

Description

The MODIFY/FAMILY command changes workload definitions associated with a family in the parameters file.

The order in which workload definitions are listed in the workload family influences how Performance Agent classifies process data. During workload classification, Performance Agent applies process data to the first workload definition matched. If the workload definitions overlap their selection criteria, then Performance Agent uses the first workload that matches the process data. Therefore, place more explicit workload definitions before more general workload definitions.

Qualifiers

/ADDWORKLOAD=(workload-definition[,. . .])

Augments the list of workload definitions previously included in the family's definition. Any workload definition included in the list must already be defined in the parameters file. The workload definitions are added at the end of the list of workload definitions.

/WORKLOAD=(workload-definition[,. . .])
/NOWORKLOAD=(workload-definition[,. . .])

Replaces the names of workload definition that make up the workload family. If you specify NOWORKLOAD, the specified workload definitions are deleted from the current list of workload definitions. To reorder the workload definitions within a family, you must specify all the workload definitions in the order desired.

Example

PSDC-EDIT> MODIFY/FAMILY MODEL_USERGROUPS/ADDWORKLOAD=(ENGINEERS,MANAGERS,SECRETARIES)

This command adds workload definitions to the MODEL_USERGROUPS workload family.
