Classifying DDF threads

You can classify DDF threads by, among other things, authorization ID and stored procedure name. The stored procedure name is only used as a classification if the first statement issued by the client to being a new unit-of-work is an SQL CALL statement.

Procedure

Use the WLM administrative application to define the service classes you want z/OS® to manage. These service classes are associated with performance objectives. When a WLM-established stored procedure call originates locally, it inherits the performance objective of the caller, such as TSO or CICS®.

Important: If classification rules do not exist to classify some or all of your DDF transactions into service classes, those unclassified transactions are assigned to the default service class, SYSOTHER, which has no performance goal and is even lower in importance than a service class with a discretionary goal.
