Work Load Manager

Dear Sirs.
We, from Serasa in Brasil, are happy users of the WLM z/OS component.
In this very moment, we are trying to filter a set of CICS business transactions using the characteristics, as defined at CICS subsystem Classification Rules.
By several reasons, none of them (Connection Type, LU Name, Substystem Instance, Sysplex Name, Transaction Class, Transaction Name , User ID.) are suited to us. Then, we are sugesting to WLM Lab guys, the introduction of the “IP Address” transaction characteristics.
Many thanks for your time and attention to us...

    Customer is happy that the enhancement in CICS TS 5.3, which added the name of the TCPIPService through which the request arrived in CICS to the classification it performs, satisfies the requirement.

    Dear sirs.
    This is about the request 142515 from Serasa (Experian) to WLM lab.
    We, from Serasa are thankful for your fast reply...The TRName is a good replacement for our requested IP Address. It fulfills all our neds. Great job, guys...

    Please could you clarify if you want the classification to take the IP address of the client sending the request or that of the service as it is known to the network.

    CICS TS 5.3 added the name of the TCPIPService through which the request arrived in CICS to the classification it performs. Since a TCPIPService is associated with the designated host name or IP address and port, its name represents a way to classify the service as it is presented to the network.

    This is described in the "What's new" https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGMCP_5.3.0/com.ibm.cics.ts.whatsnew.doc/topics/intro.html under the subheading "Enhanced z/OS Workload Manager (WLM) Classification for CICS Subsystem".
