z/OS workload management (WLM)
This concept is an explanation of how WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® uses the workload management (WLM) function of z/OS to start and manage servers in response to workload activity.
Each Java™ EE application server in a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cell uses WLM to start servants as WLM application environments. Thus, each application server must be associated with a WLM application environment name. The Cluster transition name in the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS configuration is used as the WLM application environment name.
