Abstract
A workload manager creates goal control data, defining two or more classes of system work units, in response to specification of goals of two or more goal types for the classes, and specification of importance values for each of the goal types. A system resource manager causes the goals to be met by periodically sampling work unit status; calculating a performance index for each class; selecting a receiver class to receive improved service based on the relative performance indexes and goal importance; a system bottleneck impacting achievement of goal by the receiver class is identified; and one or more system control data elements are identified and adjusted to cause the goal to be met for the receiver class.
