This video illustrates how Db2 SMF data can be leveraged to identify drivers of an observed reduction in elapsed time. This example isolates the change by authorization ID, buffer pool, and page set.

IntelliMagic's co-founder and CEO, Els Das, alongside Managing Director, Brent Phillips, (virtually) sit down with ESM's Denny Yost to discuss the full gambit of mainframe performance topics, old and new.

This article dives into the insights into CPU Usage and DBAT Activity that can be gleaned from advanced analysis of the SMF 100 Db2 statistics records.

In this blog, for newcomers to Db2 analysis, we cover the crucial initial step for analyzing the data – how to gather and collect the SMF data in the first place.

WLM I/O Priority has been around for a long time and is in use at many data centers, but many sites are not even clear on what the setting does.

Discover key insights Db2 statistics data can provide for performance management other than tuning Buffer Pools.

Multiple periods are one of the most powerful – and dangerous – tools in the performance analyst’s arsenal. They can ensure critical work gets done and runaway work can’t take over.
