Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
470 AS/400e System Handbook
Collecting performance sample data is enhanced by:
– Reducing the impact of collecting performance data, especially on large systems
– Allowing flexibility in the data collected
– Simplifying the management of performance data
– Promoting automated, continuous data collection
• Object packaging
The object packaging and distribution graphical interface provides an easy way to send
objects from any file system to one or more AS/400 systems in a network. You can also
restore objects, take snapshots of the objects, version packages of objects, and post
execution of commands. All of these functions can be performed on a group or network of
AS/400s and be scheduled to occur at a time most convenient for your staff.
• PTF management for a distributed environment
If managing PTFs among several AS/400 systems is too complicated, the new PTF
management wizards are for you. The easy-to-use wizards walk you through comparing
the PTF levels of multiple AS/400 systems to a model system that has a proven set of
PTFs already installed. You then distribute and install any missing PTFs on the remote
AS/400 systems by simply identifying the system or group of systems to be updated. You
can run AS/400 commands as part of completing PTF installations or as part of normal
day-to-day operations.
• Inventory for multiple systems
With the new graphical interface, you can schedule regular inventory collections of
hardware, software, and PTF information for a group or network of AS/400 systems. From
the data collected, you can search for a specific piece of information, export the
information to a PC application for analysis, or just compare information in multiple
systems.
• Operations Console
The AS/400 system supports integrated remote console and control panel capabilities to
simplify remote systems management tasks. The remote console application is a
full-function 5250 PC console session. The remote control panel application complements
the remote console and provides a graphical user interface that resembles its hardware
counterpart. Both applications, in general, make it possible to perform the majority of
system operations tasks, for example backup and recovery, when the AS/400 systems
and the operations staff in physically separate locations.
Operations Console and Remote Control Panel are installed and used from PCs using the
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (required for local console when remote PC access is
desired) or Windows 9x operating systems. The console and control panel applications
can be used together or separately. Each requires its own direct cable attachment. The
cables are purchased separately and are unique to the AS/400 system being used.
