Assigning priority
If your installation is running Workload Manager (WLM) in GOAL mode, Application Performance Analyzer should be assigned to the IBM-supplied SYSSTC class. You must configure this in WLM.
If running in COMPAT mode, put Application Performance Analyzer in the same performance group as other high priority system started tasks such as VTAM® and TCP/IP. You add Application Performance Analyzer to the performance group by updating member IEAICS00 in SYS1.PARMLIB.
The dispatch priority and service class assigned should be verified using primary command "DA" in SDSF. Column "DP" shows the dispatch priority and column "SrvClass" shows the WLM service class.
