Introduction

Learn to use iDoctor for iSeries Job Watcher and Performance Explorer (PEX) Analyzer performance service tools. during intensive hands-on labs.


What you will learn

On completion of this course, you will be able to:

Perform advanced iSeries performance data collection, viewing, and analysis at levels beyond the capabilities of the standard licensed performance tools.

Who should attend

This is a basic course for individuals with an elementary understanding of programming concepts, knowledge of iSeries, OS/400, and System Licensed Internal Code (SLIC), and experience in how the iSeries works internally.

Pre-requisites

Students must have a thorough knowledge of the iSeries, specifically :

  • Program to program control flow
  • Job to job control flow
  • How data base data is accessed on the system
  • Relationships and interdependencies of the hardware components, specifically the Central Processing Unit (CPU), main storage, and disk
  • System performance tuning and the effects that changing one tuning parameter or another can have on system performance

    Please note that students will be required to send in some iDoctor Job Watcher data at OS 530 level at least 2 weeks prior to class start date.

    Course content

    • Define the differences between iSeries Job Watcher and PEX Analyzer.
    • Be able to decide which tool to use in different situations.
    • Analyze the effect of the operating environment on both system and job performance.
    • Identify what to change to improve performance.
    • Compare the before and after results of a change.
    • Develop a methodology for assessing multiple types of performance problems.
    • Determine if hardware is being optimally used.
    • Provide insight into the effect of operational changes on performance throughout a processing cycle.
    • Identify those areas of an application that would get a performance benefit from redesign or a different implementation.
    • Understand the benefit of stabilizing system resource usage (provide a more accurate system performance forecast).
    • Identify changes that would improve overall production.
    • Resolve performance issues by demonstrating cause and effect of performance problems.
    • Eliminate guessing and shooting from the hip types of changes.

      Materials

    A course manual with supporting documentation is provided.
