Classification of work depends on having the rules defined for the correct subsystem type. When you choose the Classification Rules option from the Definition Menu, you go to the Subsystem Type Selection List for Rules panel. This panel initially contains the reserved names of the IBM-supplied subsystem types.
Although you may want to change the description of the subsystem types, you should not delete any of the entries provided by IBM® unless your installation does not plan to ever use them. If your installation later does need to use them, they can be manually added at that time.
Figure 1 shows the subsystem type selection panel:

Command ===> ______________________________________________________________To create your rules, use the Modify option (3) to create rules for the IBM-supplied subsystem types. For example, use the modify option on subsystem type IMS™ as show in Figure 1 to create the rules for your IMS work. Figure 2 shows the Modify Rules for the Subsystem Type panel.

Command ===> ________________________________________________________Note that the Fold qualifier names option, set to the default Y, means that the qualifier names will be folded to upper case as soon as you type them in and then press Enter. If you set this option to N, then the qualifier names will remain in the case they are typed in. Leave this option set to Y unless you know that you need mixed case qualifier names in your classification rules.
While creating rules, you can scroll right (PF11) to fill in the description fields. Figure 3 shows the Modify Rules for the Subsystem Type panel, scrolled right to the description fields.

Command ===> ________________________________________________________For ASCH, CICS®, IMS, JES, OMVS, STC, and TSO work, you can scroll right (PF11) yet again to fill in the Storage Critical field. For JES and STC work only, you can also fill in the Manage Regions Using Goals Of field, with a value of either TRANSACTION, in which case the region will be managed to the transaction response time goals, or REGION, in which case the region is managed to the goal of the service class assigned to the region. Note that for ASCH, CICS, IMS, and OMVS work, the Manage Regions Using Goals Of field will contain N/A. See Defining special protection options for critical work for more information on using these fields.

Command ===> ________________________________________________________Keep your classification rules as simple as possible. Use subsystem defaults to cover most cases, and list the exceptions. Remember that the rules are order sensitive, and the first matched rule applies. The Start field applies only to the accounting information and subsystem parameter qualifiers.
If you have a non-IBM supplied subsystem type, you can use Create to create your subsystem type. You can also modify the qualifier selection list to include only the qualifier types that apply to your subsystem type.
For more information about defining the order of rules, and how to use the Start field, see Defining classification rules.
