Example WLM configuration file for duration management

The following configuration is from:

/opt/wlm/toolkits/duration/config/duration.wlm

It shows how to use the example discovery command

(/opt/wlm/toolkits/duration/examples/duration.sh) given in the section

“Example discovery command” on page 123.

# Name:

# duration.wlm

# Version information:

# $Revision: 1.14 $

# Caveats:

# DO NOT MODIFY this file in its /opt/wlm/examples/wlmconf location!

# Make modifications to a copy and place that copy outside the

# /opt/wlm/ directory, as items below /opt/wlm will be replaced

# or modified by future HP-UX WLM product updates.

# Purpose:

# Demonstrate the use of wlmdurdc, the WLM duration data collector.

# A WLM workload group is needed to handle a special processing

# requirement from the SAS development group. This requirement is

# for two processes must complete at about the same time. The

# programs are timed. The shorter running program is configured to

# run in the special workload group and to run for a longer amount of

# time to match the duration of the other program.

# Components:

# The glance toolkit is used. See glance_app(1M) for more

# information on the glance data collectors.

# Allocation change frequency:

# Because these jobs are relatively short in nature, the default

# wlm_interval (60 seconds) is too long. We change the interval to 5

# seconds to minimize the time before WLM adjusts the CPU

# allocations.
