Tune your processor configuration to increase the MIPS you get out of your mainframe hardware.
Effective exploitation of Buffer Pools is essential to achieving optimal Db2 performance, and so there is great value in having the capability to quickly visualize, drill down, and monitor Db2 buffer pool data.
This video demonstrates the value of having great visibility and context sensitive drilldowns into the rich set of buffer pool and sync I/O metrics available in the SMF 100 Db2 statistics records for both local and group buffer pools.
Examples demonstrated in the video include Prefetch activity (by type), Getpage activity, Sync reads, and Group Buffer Pool reads due to buffer cross invalidations.
No matter which z/OS subsystem you are primarily responsible for, this article will help you blur the boundaries between the SMF ‘silos’ for each product.
This webinar recording will show real use-cases to introduce you to some of the ways to identify security risks and issues within network traffic.
This blog covers several CPU reduction areas, including, moving work outside the monthly peak R4HA interval, reducing zIIP overflow, reducing XCF volumes, and leveraging Db2 memory to reduce I/Os.
Experience firsthand the deepest visibility into your z/OS systems, processors, network, disk and tape environments. Whether you’re in the early stages of product research, evaluating competitive solutions, or trying to solve a problem, we’re happy to help you get the information you need to move forward with your IT initiatives.
