Sure: fetch current service definition, update, store it, re-activate the currently active policy name (now sporting your new srvclass). Have a look at the WLM Programming Services pub. IIRC the relevant subset were named IWMDxxxxx. SAF permissions definitely needed. At a higher level though, is that action common enough to be worth automating it, or is there a larger unstated context? It would be surprising if automating "add srvclass" alone was worth the time - there's usually a whole ecosystem dependent on the data, with humans consuming it in the end even if only for exceptions and capacity planning, so adding/removing srvclasses on a regular basis would generally be considered "unusual". The original intent of the APIs was to allow systems management products to update the entire svdef - and replace the UI, if they felt like it - programmatically, and activate policies (which *could* easily be much more common, e.g. you might have different 1st/2nd shift policies) the same way. -- John Arwe IBM Wave for z/VM Development product owner Former zWLM perpetrator ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
