Hi, All,

Say a cicsA address space is assigned a service class STCP1. From SMF 99
data I can see that when transaction volume is high enough, cicsA would be
be moved into server mode.

When in server mode, cicsA is moved into an internal service class like
$SRMSxxx. cicsA is managed by WLM according to transaction service class
goal.

I have some questions.

1. Does WLM take cicsA into account when calculating STCP1 PI? In my
opinion, it shouldn't. cicsA is now managed according to transaction
service class goal. It makes no sense to include it.

2. Does STCP1 PI in RMF report at cicsA server mode time range include
CICSP1?  I think it shouldn't. The same reason.

3. Does resource usage of STCP1 in RMF report include cicsA? A little
tricky here. I think it should. Because from my experience APPL% of STCP1
in RMF report does include the cpu usage of transactions.

BTW, I find that all the transaction management and internal service
classes of WLM is complicated and its logic not well documented. And I'm
doubting whether it is really better than velocity goals. I'm considering
managing CICS using velocity service classes only at least in our test
systems.


Best Regards,
Johnny Luo
