IBM Mainframe Forum

Does anyone know what the SERVER indicator field is on the SDSF Display Active panel. Some of my address spaces say yes and others no. I know it has something to do with WLM but it is unclear to me and I have performed several searches IBMLINK and google and come up empty handed
Thanks much!

Hello and welcome to the forum,

On the sdsf panel where you see SERVER, press F1 and see if this helps - you may need to scroll around.

I'm not on a mainframe at the moment and cannot run a test just now. . .

The SDSF manual says: Server indicator (resource goals are not being honored) (RMF)

I have read the SDSF Customizatin and Operation manual as well as the help. I still don't understand what is meant by resource goals are not being met? I've opened an issue with IBM but since I don't have Q & A support they seem unwilling to clarify the documentation.

Read about Workload Management (WLM) to see what is meant by goals and resources and the classification of work.

I found the answer. The Server indicator shows whether an address space is being WLM managed to Address Space goals (ie STC) or Subsystem goals(CICS/IMS/DB2 etc transaction). Server NO indicates Address space goals , YES indicates subsystem goals.
Thanks for all the feedback!!

Very good work and thanks for sharing your solution with others.
