Programmer Performance Utilities, System Activity, Performance Graphics,
and all the functions of the Agent.
Agent and Enabler give the equivalent functionality as Performance Tools
Subset for customers who do not need all of the tools. Such key functions as
Collect Performance Data, Delete/Copy/Convert Data, Display Performance
Data, Work with Historical Data, and Performance Advisor are included.
The Manager and Agent elements are mutually exclusive.
Performance Tools for iSeries includes the Performance Explorer. This is the
primary detailed analysis tool for iSeries servers based on PowerPC technology
and is included in the base option.
New with i5/OS V5R3
When collecting performance data for iSeries Access, a new file QAPMJSUM
is used. Previously both batch and interactive jobs were classified under CA4.
There is now a separate category for iSeries Access - Batch.
DDM server jobs moved from interactive to non-interactive reflecting their true
performance characteristics.
Calculation of CPU utilization improved in partitions by using shared
processor pools.
The Collection Services option from the Perform menu, Option 2 (Collect
performance data), now takes advantage of the new performance collection
CL commands rather than collector APIs.
The WRKSYSACT command changed to calculate and show values
consistent with the other performance tools.
PATROL for iSeries – Predict (5620-FIF)
PATROL for iSeries – Predict is a performance analysis and capacity planning
product for iSeries. Using existing performance data from Collection Services or
STRPFRMON, PATROL for iSeries – Predict provides comprehensive
response-time analysis and predictive modeling capabilities. The “what-if”
analysis capabilities reveal the impact of changes, such as load, configuration,
and users across the iSeries environment. With this approach, users can prevent
performance, service and response-time problems before they occur, and ensure
ongoing success by provisioning the right hardware upgrades, at the right time.
