Connecting with WLM as an EWLM-Participant

A work manager becomes an EWLM participant when it connects to WLM through the IWM4CON service with the following options:

• WORK_MANAGER=YES
• EWLM=YES

An optional GROUPNM parameter specifies an application group to which the work manager belongs.

The IWM4CON service connects a subsystem to WLM so that workload manager services can be used. Note that the default for the EWLM parameter is NO, which indicates that:

• The work manager interacts only with WLM. No interaction with EWLM takes place.
• The use of the IWMESTRT and IWMESTOP services, as well as the use of the ESTRT parameter on the IWM4ECRE service, is not permitted.
