Resources

This video introduces the topic of transaction response time reporting based on the SMF 120 subtype 9 record.

Each request that comes into WebSphere is considered a transaction and can be reported down to the level of URI name. These URI’s give you the names of specific resources or applications requested, and each individual request is logged.

You have multiple functions and parameters at your disposal to define which logical volumes will remain in the TS7700 cache, regardless if you use a TS7700 Disk-Only or a TS7700 with Tape attach. This session gives you detailed information about the different options.

With all the complexity and workload variability present in today’s z/OS systems, it is important to have significant deviations of key metrics from their historical norms called to your attention.

Most installations tend to upgrade their CPCs to the equivalent model in the newer generation – for example, from a z13 710 to a z15 710. But if the IBM tools are not intended to model such moves, how do you evaluate if such an upgrade would be right for your workloads?

In this webinar, mainframe maven Cheryl Watson describes recent changes to TFP and explains how those changes might alter your calculation about whether TFP is right for your company.

Implementing the TS7700 microcode-based compression algorithms can have benefits beyond better compression. The CPU algorithms allow host jobs to run faster and improve replication time.

The z14 and z15 support a completely new I/O method called zHyperLink. This is easily the most substantial I/O announcement from IBM since the introduction of FICON.

There are many areas of WebSphere that can leave even a seasoned z/OS performance specialist scratching their head. Learn how you can shine a light into this otherwise black box!

Realize the benefits of modernizing how you understand and leverage SMF data for MQ performance analysis.

Understand the meaning of some the most useful components of performance analysis and learn practical recommendations on how to improve application and overall system performance.
