DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Integration with operating system workload managers

If available, use DB2® workload management in conjunction with an operating system workload manager, which provides you with additional capabilities.

The point of integration between DB2 workload management and operating system workload managers is the DB2 service class. You create a mapping between a DB2 service class and an operating system workload manager class when you define a DB2 service class by using the OUTBOUND CORRELATOR option of the CREATE SERVICE CLASS or the ALTER SERVICE CLASS statement.

If the outbound correlator is set, all threads in the DB2 service class are associated with the operating system workload manager using the outbound correlator when the next activity begins.
