IWM4HLTH – Setting Server Health Indicator

The IWM4HLTH service is used to inform WLM about the health state of a server. The health indicator is a number which shows in percent how well the server is performing. It can be an integer value between 0 and 100 and means the following:

Value

Meaning

100

The server is fully capable to do work without any health problems

0

The server is not able to do any work occasionally

Any value between 0 and 100

Indicates the level of health of the server

The health indicator is activated when one of the routing services IWM4SRSC or IWMSRSRS with FUNCTION=SPECIFIC are used to get routing recommendations. The weights are reduced to the percentage given by the health indicator of the server address space.

The health indicator of a server keeps its value until it is modified by resetting it with the IWM4HLTH service, or with the IWMSRSRG service.
