I think there's a difference between "Mass update" and "programmatic update". While I agree blasting a load of (eg) ApplEnvs into the Service Definition is not a good idea maybe there is scope for additional intelligence such as "when you add a CICS region automate pulling in a list of transactions that want special treatment". Not being particularly familiar with the panels (and not at all familiar with the z/OSMF analogue) I invite y'all to think of better examples.
FWIW the "classic" WLM application uses an ISPF Table Library - and customers are increasingly sending me them. Don't tell anyone :-) but I turn that into a nice (IMHO) :-) HTML file. (Part of this is, again don't tell anyone :-) , using the REXX that the unsupported? WLM java app supplies.) If you were insistent - and I'm sure this would be unsupported - you could update the TLIB directly. I wouldn't encourage it - but this might be good enough for the OP. It is after all no secret the TLIB exists - and you could test with alternate TLIBs. But now back to reality. :-) Cheers, Martin Martin Packer, zChampion, Principal Systems Investigator, Worldwide Banking Center of Excellence, IBM +44-7802-245-584 email: [email protected] Twitter / Facebook IDs: MartinPacker Blog: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/MartinPacker From: "Vernooij, CP (SPLXM) - KLM" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 12/08/2014 07:28 Subject: Re: Mass updates to the WLM policy. Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Do you mean that adding 100 Scheduling Environments is something I should never want to do? What could be the unintended impact? The policy can hold 999 Resources and 999 Schenvs and the Schenv Redbook even gives performance hints for this situation (add a control Resource to each Schenv). I think the only way to do it automated is with a macro of my terminal emulator. This way I also do mass updates to my SMS SCDS (e.g. change the retain-days-only-backup of all my managementclasses). This is much less sensitive to typo's than doing it manually.

IMO, no massive changes should *EVER* be added to a WLM Service Definition. *BEWARE* the law of unintended consequences. It is not a matter of the doing (via any method), it is a matter of the impact. Just my $0.02 USD worth. <snip> It has been asked before: is it possible to do mass updates to the WLM policy easily, e.g. add 200 Scheduling Enviroments to it, in batch or so? Apart from the replies, that the OP should not want to do what he wants to do, the general answer was NO. Is this still so? The z/OS MF interface seems to work the same way as the TSO interface: on update at a time. Has anyone found out the layout of the WLM policy PDS and a way or tool to manipulate (unload, update, reload) it in order to insert mass updates there? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
