Re: iSeries job/system performance monitor

["Clare Holtham" <Clare.Holtham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

The IBM automated service that runs the performance monitor and sends the info 
to IBM is more of a trend analysis than anything. Also, the performance monitor 
doesn't really work as of V5R2. (Because things under the covers that used to 
be monitored have changed...)
You could always hire someone like me to do a 2 day analysis and 
recommendations. I have in the past done performance tuning for IBM even! (In 
Finland) As the guru Rick Turner said, 'you learn this stuff through your 
elbows', and there aren't too many people who specialise in it. You can get 
tools for database tuning, like that from Centerfield. But that can be done 
manually too.

cheers,

Clare

  HI  - 

  I was under the impression that most shops uses IBM services to comb through 
the performance data. If not, what is it that you look for in performance data? 
What other tools are out there for these purposes.

  Thank you,

  Mike
