Creating an entirely new subsystem description
You can create a subsystem description in two ways. You can copy an existing
subsystem description and change it, or you can create an entirely new description. The following
are two approaches you can use:
Copying an existing subsystem description
1. Create a duplicate object, CRTDUPOBJ, of an existing subsystem description. (You can
also use the
WRKOBJ or WRKOBJPDM commands.)
2. Change the copy of the subsystem description.
Creating an entirely new subsystem description
1. Create a subsystem description (CRTSBSD).
2. Create a job description (CRTJOBD).
3. Add work entries to the subsystem description.
a. ADDWSE (Add workstation entry) or RMVWSE

GO QMPGLIB/PM400
PM/400
Capacity planning and performance analysis tool called Performance Management/400
(PM/400) has been loaded on your system. PM/400 is a fully functional licensed product (LP)
and you received it free of charge.
Although PM/400 is now on your system, it is not yet activated. You can activate it through the
execution of one simple command. PM/400 is capturing non-proprietary system utilization
information from the performance monitor function of OS/400, the management of the collected
data, and then the transmitting of that data via phone line to your IBM Support Team. In return
you'll receive feedback from your Support Team via either capacity and performance "letters of
notification" or via capacity and performance reports. This feedback highlights when your current
CPU, memory, and DASD utilization trends will cause you to exceed the guidelines for good
performance.
