A ruleset makes the definition of workload load designer on to system. It is a collection of settings that together makes up the workload management environment. A ruleset includes all the workloads expected to be used when the ruleset is active, as well as all throttles, filters, and exceptions.
A ruleset contains:
- The state definition
- Filters
- Throttles
- Exceptions
- Workload definitions
- Virtual partitions
It also includes virtual partition settings for the workloads that make up the ruleset, and the ruleset captures any automated changes to settings that have been defined, as well as the events that trigger such changes.
If you need to make changes on any settings of throttles or filters, you need to open a ruleset, make the changes, and activate the ruleset.
A ruleset has three stages, which can be seen in the following figure:
Workload Designer
- Working: Collection of all rulesets. From here you can delete, unlock, show, and make a ruleset ready.
- Ready: Stage before activating a ruleset...
