Bullet Points

• Sources of Data
• Knowing when you have a problem
• Key Performance Thresholds
• Rules of Thumb
• Integrating the World of Performance Data

Outline:

1. Data Sources – Where can we get the data, and what does it look like? System Statistics Data, System Specifications, MVS System Performance Data
2.  The important performance variables:
   System performance, MVS performance
   How they inter-relate and affect each other
3. Effects of System Tuning on Application Performance
   Examples of performance improvements, MVS and DASD subsystems,
   DB2 system
4.  History – Tracking and Trending Performance
5. Summary
   Putting it all together
   Where do we go from here…
