Workload Management (WLM)

The WLM ISPF application is protected by a SAF call. Access to the WLM ISPF application is controlled through the definition of a facility class in CA Top Secret. READ or UPDATE access to the entire WLM service definition is the only option available through the CA Top Secret facility access authorization. READ access allows users access to all functions except installing and activating a service definition or policy. When using WLM:

Specify an access of NONE for the facility resource
Limit the number of users authorized to read and update the WLM application to those who maintain the WLM policy and performance personnel
Review the requirement for operations to have access to install a service definition versus activating an existing policy

To authorize the facility for WLM, enter:

TSS ADD(deptacid) IBMFAC(MVSADMIN)—Skip this command if already owned

TSS PER(acid) IBMFAC(MVSADMIN.WLM.POLICY) ACC(READ)

TSS PER(acid) IBMFAC(MVSADMIN.WLM.POLICY) ACC(UPDATE)
