Abstract
Apparatus and accompanying methods for use preferably in a multi-system shared data (sysplex) environment (100), wherein each system (110) provides one or more servers (115), for dynamically and adaptively assigning and balancing new work and for new session requests, among the servers in the sysplex, in view of attendant user-defined business importance of these requests and available sysplex resource capacity so as to meet overall business goals. Specifically, systems and servers are categorized into two classes: eligible, i.e., goal-oriented servers running under a policy and for which capacity information is currently available, and candidate, i.e., servers which lack capacity information. Work requests for a client application are assigned first to various eligible systems and eligible servers thereon based on their current capacity to accept new work and in a manner that meets business goals inherent in a sysplex policy; followed, if additional servers are requested by that application, to candidate systems and candidate servers thereon. As to session placement, first those system(s) are selected that have lowest utilization, at a target importance level, but with sufficient available capacity at that level. Competing servers on the selected system(s) are then evaluated based on their corresponding session count data to yield a single resulting server. Thereafter, identification of multiple servers and their corresponding weights are returned to, e.g., a client application, for eventual routing of work requests to those servers, or the identification of a single server is returned to that application for establishing a new session therewith.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
