Every talk about WebSphere Application Server mentions something about Workload Management (WLM). But WLM on distributed systems means something completely different from WLM on z/OS. This presentation will briefly describe what WLM means to WAS distributed before plunging into the many aspects of WAS on z/OS interactions with the z/OS Workload Manager. We will look at how WLM influences IIOP work routing and how work gets classified with WLM (and what that means). Other topics will include how WLM selects a servant region to run work and the many subtleties of asynchronous beans and probably some more stuff (WOLA, local comm, who knows?). We will NOT be crawling through configuration panels and the details of creating classification XML files.
