How WLM manages workloads
Example of WLM in use
Chapter 3 125
Figure 3-4 Server with WLM
In this example, the accounts receivable workload has priority 1 and a
response time goal of less than 1 second. The accounts payable workload
has priority 2 and a response time goal of less than 2.5 seconds. When
resources are not sufficient to meet the SLOs for both workloads, the
accounts receivable workload is favored over the accounts payable
workload. For another example, see “Specifying the priority (required)”
on page 193.
