Whoops. Sorry, that was not my intention!

WLM does not recognize that without any help. The started tasks are
simply started tasks and therefore, absent any other criteria, they end
up in SYSSTC. You can see "transactions" coming from those address
spaces just as you would from TSO. It's just that WLM has no way of
knowing what to do with them. See below.

command.

TSO transactions are reported to SRM via SYSEVENT, not some hidden WLM
interface. The transactional nature of the work is the same as real TSO
because it is the real TSO TMP. It just happens to be running in a STC
instead of a TSO address space. So SYSEVENTS get issued in the normal
course of user interaction and those are what SRM (and WLM) "see" as
transactions.

BTW, TSO doesn't get any special case help from WLM. If you don't create
a service class (and classification rules) for your TSO work, the work
will go to SYSOTHER by default. The SUBSYS qualifier is the obvious way
to direct classification rules for TSO work, but it is by no means set
in stone.
