Separating CICSPlex SM Workload by Program

To cope with increasing workload and avoid single point of failures we would need the possibility to separate CICSPlex SM Workload by program analogous separating the work in a workload based on transactions.

    Rejecting this RFE as the customer has confirmed that they are able achieve the desired outcomie by separating the workload using the TRANSID attribute

    Yes, retesting did work as pointed out by you and we are now able to separate workload using TRANSID attribute. Thanks again for your support. From my point of view this RFE could be closed.
    Thanks a lot and with best regards, Reto

    Reto, did your retesting verify that separating workloads using transaction ID satisfy your needs?

    Our verifications using transaction ID (TRANSID) did not illustrate expected results. Re-testing with your hints showed we were using wrong transaction profile (DFHCICST instead of DFHCICSA).
    Currently we are verifying if separating workloads using transaction ID is satisfying our needs.

    The usual technique for separating workloads when using DPLs is to use the transaction ID (TRANSID) attribute of the dynamic PROGRAM resource itself. This field is used to specify the transaction ID that you wish to run the remote program under. CPSM can use this transaction ID to separate the request out from other requests. You would add this transaction ID to your CPSM WLM transaction group (TRANGRP), which would be added to your CPSM workload definition (WLMDEF).

    Does that satisfy the requirement? If not can you help us to understand where your needs differ?
