Defining a departmental workload

In order to set up a departmental workload that crosses subsystem boundaries, you must keep in mind how you can assign the work to service classes. You should review Defining classification rules and find out the best way you can assign your work to service classes. The following list provides some examples of what would be required for some of the subsystems:
TSO
You must set up TSO user IDs or account numbers according to department structure, so that the user IDs correspond to a specific department.
JES
You must have unique batch classes or account numbers by department.
CICS®
You must have unique CICS regions for each department.
IMS™
You must have a separate IMS/VS resource lock manager (IRLM), IMS control region, and IMS message processing region (MPR) for each workload.

For more information, see Defining classification rules.
