Each workload specification has a default target scope
and one or more CICS® systems
or CICS system groups associated
with it. To implement workload routing for a group of target regions,
you must associate a routing region or a routing system group with
a workload specification.
Procedure
- In the Routers section of the Workload
Specification editor, click the Add Routers icon
.
The Add Routers window opens and
shows all the systems and systems groups in the CICSplex. If a system
or system group is already associated with a workload, the associated
workload is shown in parentheses.
- Select the system, or system group, that you want to assign
as a router for this workload. If the system group that you are adding
has child associations, you can choose to keep their association with
the other workload or change their association to this workload.
By default, when you click
OK,
the following actions take place:
- All CICS systems that are
children, whether directly or indirectly, of the selected system group,
and that are already routers for a different workload, are
not affected by the addition of the selected group to the new workload.
- All CICS systems that are
children, whether directly or indirectly, of the selected system group,
that are not already routers for a different workload, are
included as routers through their association with the group.
This is the equivalent of the
NULL option
on
Associate CICS group action for a Workload
Specification.
If you select
Take routers from other
workloads, the following actions take place:
- All CICS systems that are
children, whether directly or indirectly, of the selected system group
are included as routers through their association with the group,
irrespective of whether they had any previous association with a workload.
This is the equivalent of the
FORCE option
on
Associate CICS group action for a Workload
Specification.
- Click OK to add the selection to
the Workload Specification editor.
You can click
the Hide non-routing items icon
to show or hide the systems that are not a router
for this workload.
