Create a Workload Management class.
mkclass [ -a Attribute=Value ... ] [ -c | -m | -b KeyWord=Value ] [ -d Config_Dir ] [ -S SuperClass ] Name
The mkclass command creates a superclass or a subclass identified by the Name parameter. The class must not already exist. The Name parameter can contain only upper and lower case letters, numbers and underscores. The name is in the format supername or subname (with the -S supername flag) or supername.subname. Supername and subname are each limited to 16 characters in length. The names Default, System, and Shared are reserved. They refer to predefined classes. Any Attribute=Value or KeyWord=Value argument initialise the specified attribute or resource limit. See chclass for more information.
Normally, mkclass adds the class and its attributes in the relevant WLM property files, and the modifications is applied to the in-core class definitions (active classes) only after an update of WLM using the wlmcntrl command.
If an empty string is passed as the configuration name (Config_dir) with the -d flag, the class is created only in the WLM in-core data structures, and no property file is updated, making the new class temporary (the change is lost if WLM is stopped and restarted or the system is rebooted).
Access control: Only the root user can create a superclass. Only root or authorized users whose user ID or group ID matches the user name or group name specified in the attributes adminuser and admingroup of a superclass can create a subclass of this superclass.
