{"Image DocumentName": "Reporting of Overall Health to WLM", "Image ImageDescription": "IMS 12 Overview. Reporting of Overall Health to WLM. WLM (Workload Manager) Health Report. New function to automatically report the overall health of IMS Connect. Allows Sysplex Distributor to use and take into account this information for workload balancing. Benefit. Allows WLM to know when resources are constrained or available. Minimizes the possibility of Sysplex Distributor assigning work that IMS Connect is unable to handle. Workload Manager (WLM) provides facilities that allow servers to indicate their health back to WLM. This health information can be used by the Sysplex Distributor and taken into account when connection requests are to be routed to a server. IMS Connect V13 takes advantage of the facilities provided by WLM to inform WLM of its overall health. As the health of IMS Connect deteriorates or improves, IMS Connect will notify WLM accordingly so that WLM has the most recent health information available for use by the Sysplex Distributor. Sysplex Distributor uses the health of each server when the distribution method has been set to SERVERWLM in the VIPADISTRIBUTE statement of the TCP/IP profile. .
