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.
