You can activate a service policy from the ISPF application, as well as from the operator console. To activate a policy from the operator console, you issue the VARY WLM command. For more information about issuing the VARY command, see Migration activities. To activate a policy from the application, choose the Utilities option from the menu bar on the Definition menu.
When you choose the activate option, the application extracts the service definition information from the WLM couple data set, and displays the Policy Selection List panel, as shown in Figure 1. From the list, you select the service policy that you want to activate.
If you have been editing your service definition and want your changes to take effect, you have to install the changed service definition, and then activate the service policy.
