Now you're started

Upon entry to the interface, the WLM logo panel is displayed. Press Enter to continue, and the application displays the Specify Definition pop-up as shown in Figure 1. You should then specify which service definition you want to work with. You can work with one service definition at a time in the application.

Figure 1. Choose Service Definition pop-Up

            Choose Service Definition

    Select one of the following options.
    __  1.  Read saved definition
        2.  Extract definition from WLM
            couple data set
        3.  Create new definition

If this is your first time in the application, choose option 3, Create a new service definition. This option brings you to the definition menu, where you can define your service definition. Once you created a new service definition, upon exiting the application, you can either:

Save the service definition in a PDS as ISPF tables, or in a PS as XML.
The application prompts you for a data set name, allocates the data set, and saves the service definition.
Install the service definition on the WLM couple data set.
The install option puts the service definition currently displayed in the application out on the WLM couple data set. When installed, any changes you made to the service definition are available when you activate a policy. Installing and extracting a service definition explains how to install a service definition.
Discard the service definition.

If you want to edit a service definition previously defined and stored in an MVS™ data set, choose option 1, Read saved definition.

If you want to work with the service definition on the WLM couple data set, choose option 2, Extract definition from WLM couple data set. You must have previously installed a service definition on the WLM couple data set. Installing and extracting a service definition explains how to extract a service definition.
