Re: iSeries job/system performance monitor

[Alexei Pytel <pytel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The automated service you mentioned used to be called PM/400 and is now 
known as PM iSeries.
It is alive and well.
Technically you are right that what was called Performance Monitor, was 
withdrawn in V5R2.
However, it was not just dropeed.
There is a replacement function called Collection Services.
It has somewhat different interfaces than Performance Monitor, however, it 
collects all the same data and more.

Just to put record straight...

Re: iSeries job/system performance monitor






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
