Assign a new service to an existing session type

Perform this task when you want to assign another service to an existing session type. For example, you have a new service and want to associate it with an existing session type. You want to use the new service starting with the next session.

Updating the session type in the application profile results in the following:

  • Open sessions having the updated session type will continue to use the old service until the sessions are closed

  • New sessions created after the update will use the new service

This procedure assumes that you have already created a new service package.

  1. Add a new service to the application:
    1. From the PMC, select Symphony Workload > Configure Applications.
    2. Click the application name.

      The application profile displays.

    3. From the drop-down list, select Dynamic Configuration Update.

      A sub menu displays.

    4. Select Add Service/Session Type.
    5. In the Service Definition group, click Add.
    6. Enter the new service name. Click Add.
    7. From the Service Package drop-down list, select the new service package.

      If the new service package is not in the list:

      1. Select Add Package to repository.

      2. Click Browse and navigate to the new service package. Select the package and click Open. Click Add.

    8. Click Apply.
  2. Associate the new service with an existing session type:
    1. Select Symphony Workload > Configure Applications.
    2. Click the application name.

      The application profile displays.

    3. From the drop-down list, select Dynamic Configuration Update.

      A sub menu displays.

    4. Select Change Service For Session Type.
    5. From the drop-down list in the Session Type Definition group, select the relevant session type.
    6. From the Service Definition drop-down list, select the new service you want to assign to the selected session type.
    7. Click Apply.

      A confirmation dialog displays. Click OK.

      An information dialog displays. Click OK.

    8. Click Close.
  3. Verify that the workload is still running (applicable to long-running tasks):
    1. Select Symphony Workload > Monitor Workload.
    2. Click the application name.
    3. Click the session ID.
    4. Verify that the tasks are still running.

      The new service will take effect when you create a new session. Existing clients and workload will not be affected.
