Claim:
A computer system for tracking workloads of a computing environment, the computer system comprising: one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising: program instructions to obtain from at least one user a first definition of a first workload to be tracked and a second definition of a second workload to be tracked, the first definition of the first workload comprising a name of the first workload and an identification of one or more lead transactions of the first workload but omitting identification of one or more secondary transactions of the first workload, the second definition of the second workload comprising a name of the second workload and an identification of one or more lead transactions of the second workload, the first workload and the second workload being different workloads to be tracked which share a transaction; program instructions to assign a unique identification to each execution of each of the lead transactions of the first workload; program instructions to track the first workload, including the shared transaction thereof, separate from the second workload, based on the name of the first workload, the identification of the one or more lead transactions of the first workload, and the unique identification(s) assigned to the lead transaction(s) of the first workload; and program instructions to assign, in response to the one or more lead transactions of the first workload invoking the one or more secondary transactions of the first workload, the unique identification(s) of the one or more lead transactions of the first workload to the one or more secondary transactions of the first workload to facilitate tracking of the one or more secondary transactions of the first workload.
