Splitting a workload breaks it into one or more separate workloads recursively, creating new workloads from the existing workload classifications.
- From the Candidate Workloads tree, right-click the workload you want to split.
-
Select Split.
The following table describes the Split Workloads dialog box options.
Options Description Workload #1 Displays the source workload name. Below the name is its classification. Include Lists the classifications to be included before splitting the workload. Select the check box of the item to be included for the split. Exclude Lists the classifications to be excluded before splitting the workload. Select the check box of the item to be excluded for the split. The exclusion limits the split to requests that include the excluded object type. For more information, see Classification by Excluded Objects for Splitting and Merging Workloads. If Teradata WA 16.20 is connected to Teradata Database 12.00, the Include or Exclude options can be used for each classification type. If the system is connected to Teradata Database 13.00 and higher, both Include and Exclude options can be used for each classification type.Workload #2: (Evaluated First) Displays the destination workload name. The destination workload name is created by adding the suffix _SP1 to the source workload name. Below the name is its classification. Add New Classification Creates a new workload classification. Split Splits the source workload. The source workload’s classification is modified and a new split workload displays on the right panel. Advanced Activates the Copy, Move, and Remove options. Copy Copies the selected classification criteria items from the source workload to the split workload. Move Moves selected items from the source workload to the split workload destination tree. Remove Removes the selected classification items from the split workload classification tree and move them back to the source workload tree.
