PATROL for iSeries – Predict provides powerful graphical planning. It is made up
of two components:
򐂰 Create Model functions (similar to BEST/1) for identifying OS/400 jobs and
assigning work to workloads based upon user ID, job name, OS/400
subsystem, and other categories. Performance Monitor database files from
V4R2 and later are supported for input to creating the model.
򐂰 A workstation-based (Windows PC) GUI for validating the model and
performing capacity planning scenarios. The capacity planning component
provides the following functions:
– CPU, disk, and ASP (logical volume) capacity planning
– 5250 CPW feature utilization, variable 5250 CPW for LPAR partition
– Percent growth per “time-period”
– HTML-based graphical displays for “reports” and bar charts
– Many more reports are now available, divided into seven report groups.
– Validate model (predicted compared to measured)
– Multiple CPUs can coexist in a single model
– Task pads for status messages, icons to indicate warning (threshold
reached) and guideline reached per resource
– Ability to process performance data from multiple releases
